    Bad experience staying

    My assigned room 7 was no key even I can open the key lock box. Not sure whether it rent to someone or what. Then landlord assigned room 5 to me, but air con was not work. Contact landlord to arrange another room. But be advised to made video and wait for more than an hour. Then assigned room 3 to me with air cond, but very strong smoking smell full of the room. So, I only can choose no air cond or smokey smell room. I stayed for 4 nights at the smokey smell room and unable to change, I need to suffer 4 night there. Also, the bathroom is terrible dirty. Even the toilet cover was broken. See picture.

    Low price

    The AC wasn’t working, and there was no one around to assist. There was no mirror to get ready, and the washroom was a complete mess — no Muslim shower, and the bath shower was barely sprinkling, as if it were broken. Horrible experience....

    i know its budget hostel but its too much budget hostel actually because first time i enter the room smell like a full of cigarettte smoker like i enter the room already make me want to throw up because its so smelly and i think the main reason of that because of the aircond not service for too long and also the toilet i think you need to provide at least slippers for guest use

    This place is horrible. The pictures in the website do not match the actual room. I booked for 6 nights, but only could stay for 1 night because it was terrible experience. When I checked in, there was no light in the "room" ( actually you can call this closet or a jail cell), so I had to wait until night so they finally fixed it. The next morning it was raining outside and it was leaking from the walls and made my bed wet. I had to find another place for myself and left this horrible place. They never refunded for the remaining 5 nights. I saw another guest who was also complaining that he almost got electrical shock from one of the outlets.

    Sunny Point Hostel in Penang is a fantastic find! With its prime location, exploring Georgetown’s heritage streets and famous street food was effortless. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-kept, providing a relaxing stay. The self-check-in process was smooth, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Whether traveling solo or with friends, this hostel offers the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and a welcoming vibe. I had an amazing experience and will definitely be back!

    The room is not clean.. got kids drowning at the wall.. some one already lay down on the bed before I checked in.. maid have to tidy up the bed in front of me.. first impression when I enter the house it looks like a store. The main gate is also a problem. One side closes one side opens. Staircase no light. Bathrooms are small and also have to be shared with other rooms. Water pressure is too low. No TV and no wifi. Compared with other properties the same price but more comfortable and also have tv and wifi. Totally not meet my expectations. So sad. Why still got a hostel like this.

    Looks can be deceiving; and overpriced.

    I'd hate to be honest, but for a price of about RM200++ for one night at this place seems very overpriced compared to what is provided there. Don't be fooled by the pictures shown. They do seem like a nice place, but I'm quite surprised when I first came to this place. The entrance doesn't seem welcoming at all. Cleanliness needs to be improved a lot. The flooring is badly water damaged. I booked the room for 4 adults and 1 child but they only provide us 1 queen bed and 1 single mattress (without bed). The door lock of the room I booked doesn't seem secure enough which is quite worrying. Worst thing of all is, they provide glasses with an alcoholic drink brand logo on it, and I'm a Muslim. Hopefully the owner of this place will improve in the future.

    The room is spacious. The staff is quite friendly. The water heater is working fine. There's an iron for ironing clothes provided. The facilities provided is fairly sufficient. I'm not sure what else that's good to describe this place. I guess that's all?

    The place was a wreck. It looks like they don't have a manager at all. The room itself was OK and large. However, I was afraid to stay there since the lock on the room had been broken into numerous times. ie the door was damaged due to the breakin's. I had suitcases that I had wanted to leave in the room while I was gone, and I could not trust doing so.

    The one good thing was that the residents there were nice.
