Reviews of SS TWO Hostel Penang

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

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

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.

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.

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..

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

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 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

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.

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

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.

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.

Convenient, all the tourists destinations very near by

The place was better than expected considering the price. I was there for a dentist appointment and the place was as described. Would definitely stay there again.

Hot water for coffee did not work but not a big problem

No breakfast

Lizard in room

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.

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