Dirty bedsheets and no responses given when complaining to the WhatsApp number provided. No shower gel is provided in the bathroom.

Good location, walking distance to many famous food place. Good price for solo travellers in getting a private single room.

A guest lost their purse during our stay, and was advised to take valuables by one of the guests even when using the restroom for an extended period. Clearer signage would also be helpful, as the location was not that easy to find.

Loved the strategic location. It's incredibly central and well-connected, with public transport just a short walk away, making it easy to explore the city. The area is also bustling with a fantastic variety of restaurants, so finding great food is never an issue.

lack of cleanliness at stairs and 1st toilet. So I help them clean and put some smell goods at toilet.

Easy to check in and check out. No need contact whatsaap direct received key through booking.com msg. Freedom.. I love they got exhaust fan that can remove all smell in room..

The rooms are very small, around 5 m2 max. - the walls between the rooms are "made from paper" and if you have impolite noisy neighbour, then you hear him. - shared bathrooms and toilets - like in hostel - 10 RM/day malaysian tourism tax for stays in hotels - there is no refrigerator on the premises

There are around 10 separate rooms in this facility. Each one equipped with decently comfortable yet small bed, and working AC unit. Pluses: - its overall clean - AC works - internet works - its located in the strict center of Georgetown, yet quiet from the street noise. - price is OK, around 10 usd for individual room with booking fees and taxes - close to shops, bars, restaurants, bus stops etc. Check in proccess and stay extensions is easy and automated. Overall its a typical cheap Penang guesthouse with paper walls, but clean and with strong AC units.

The place is clean, probably because it is still new. The room is a bit small but comfortable enough. However, there is no place to hang clothes, and the bed is a bit sagging. Location wise, it is near to food stalls and bus stops, as well as Chowrasta. It is still an ideal hotel for the budget class.

The smell of the area and my room. Maybe because of the hawker center is just below, does not smell good. Recommend owner to buy some air freshener and put around the common area. Also the bedsheets is not changed from the previous guest. I would suggest whoever wants to book, to bring own towels and disposable bed linens if you can

Location is superb. Just around the corner to Kimberly lane and other attractions. The bed is not saggy

Too adventurous in my food hunt. Got food poisoning diarrhea so didn't get to travel and explore Penang. 3-4 days spent resting.

Street Food Paradise. Hostel location is very near 24/7 Seven Eleven cafe, laundry and food eateries. Walking distance to bus stops, Campbell street and Chowratsa Market.

- Lights in the hallway were always on the 4 days so that light goes inside your room even if the door is closed. (I understand people is coming late at night and is because of them but maybe they can use the stairs lights. - the first bathroom to the left needs more cleaning. One of the things doesnt have to do with the management. But one day there was a man screaming crazy just outside and it was scary. Maybe a lock or a password in the entrance door would be great .

- Location was great/ walking distance to downtown and restaurants/ shops/ laundry and is just besides the bus stop. (Public transportation works amazing in Penang- you can go anywhere very easy) - bed was very comfortable - room was very clean - AC was working - Wifi very strong - autocheck in and check out was very easy - communication with the Hosts by booking was very good. I really enjoyed my stay there for 4 nights and felt recharged. It was very hot outside so every day when i was going back to the hostel at the end of the day i was excited hahaha.

Posting the 10 ringits Malaysia tax in the box and filming it instead of just charging me was pretty silly seems to be an issue in Penang generally that they hide all the extra taxes and fees that you have to be pay never had this issue in Kuala Lumpur or anywhere else I stayed in Malaysia but yet they all insist it is standard for the whole of Asia which is completely false only Georgetown Penang seems to use this broken system where you never know how much your paying for a room until after you have committed to staying...other than that good experience I would recommend this hotel as this seems to be a Penang issue in general not specific to this hotel

Very Cheap excellent location cheap to extend at short notice

Just note that it seems booking.com does not currently add tourism tax to your payment when you book online (You can check this in your payment details in your booking.com account). So you may need to pay this fee, currently RM 10/per night, on arrival at the hostel.

Comfortable bed, very clean hostel and decent facilities. Easy check in.

Just to say something, there's long term guests that are noisy but still very quiet. Also slightly overpriced if you want to extend.

Location is top. Besides what I've seen in other reviews communication with management is quick and besides isn't the cheapest option is a great quality-price ratio. Everything is well explained from the beggining and is very easy to self check in/out. Food court are near yes, but I reckon this a perk not downside.

SS TWO Hostel offers unbeatable value with seamless self-check-in—clear instructions make late arrivals stress-free. The rooms are clean, cozy, and perfect for the price. Best of all? The location! Steps away from iconic eats like Toh Soon Cafe多春茶室 and Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul.

Walls are pretty thin but this wasn’t a problem for me. Bring earplugs incase your neighbours are noisy.

Having stayed in dorms for the last 2 months, a private room was a much needed break. This hostel is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a private room at the same price as a hostel, without losing out on quality. My room was a good size with a comfortable bed, desk, rack for storing clothes and cupboards that lock. Drinking water is available.

The process of check in and check out was easy. Just be aware that theres an additional 10ringgit charge per day.
