Nice and cozy

Only downside is there’s no lift (but totally fine for the price) and soundproofing isn’t great — I could hear people opening and closing doors at noon, though it was quiet at night.

Room is basic and small but fine for a short stay. Clean and has a window. There’s a shared balcony where you can wash and dry clothes. They also let me store my luggage, which was really helpful. Location is great with easy access to attractions, and the price is super cheap!

Slightly loud at night from street noise, but not continuous or after 11pm.

Excellent location, walk to Little India, Chinatown, Love Lane, Esplanade, ferry. Sila was excellent at welcoming, check in and recommending things to do. Rooftop terrace with washing machine and drying racks. Full size fridge, microwave, free coffee and tea. Very clean shared bathrooms and everywhere else. Scooter rentals nearby to explore Penang Island. Great value for service received.

Need to be patient in entering the code to open the front door. Stairs are rather steep for an old chappie like me. My room on the top floor had windows, but I guess some of the cheaper rooms on the lower floors didn't.

Located down a lane off a main road in the old part of Georgetown, it is near a busy part of town, but far enough away form the noisy streets to be peaceful and restful. Sunshine House is well set up for backpacker travellers, with a small kitchen (with free tea and coffee), and free use of washing machines on a patio with racks available to dry laundry.

nothing, really.

Honestly, the best place I've ever stayed at in Penang (and I've been to at least 8 places booked). I love the overall place. Oh, and they have laundry machine for you to use for FREE!!! The best honestly.

Clean room with plenty of space. Amenities are top notch. Easy to do laundry, fishes, store and warm up food, and free drinking water is a plus. Rooftop patio is amazing with plenty of seating options. Umbrellas downstairs help protect guests from the hot sun. Close to the best coffee in town (The Pitt), the best area in town (Little India), and Hoon Lai vegetarian for tasty soup.

You can't choose your neighbours and unfortunately some guests don't follow the house rules. No fault of the ownership though. Birds around the neighborhood can be a bit noisy on the rooftop, but you don't hear them in your rooms. Could use a small night light in rooms.

Comfortable beds and pillows. Private rooms. Shared clean toilets and showers. Small kitchenette with free coffee and tea and a microwave and fridge for food and drinks. Rooftop patio for socializing and relaxing, having a coffee, and doing laundry. Very friendly staff and lovely housekeeping lady (Sela). Close to everything in George Town. Popular, cheap local beer shop 50m around the corner on Lorong Stewart for drinking and socializing with locals and other travelers. Close to lots of food in Little India and Chinese hawker stalls and Kopitiam around Chulia Street and Lebuh Carnarvon. There is also many Nasi Kandar vendors and shops around the area. Go see Frankie at Burgersaurus 100m away on Lorong Chulia if you want a good hamburger. Plus lots of other food options on Love Lane and Chulia Street. Prangin Mall is only 10-12 minutes walk away. Local buses to Batu Ferringhi (101) 300m away on Chulia Street. Overall an excellent spot to be based out of in George Town. Will likely stay there again when I'm back in Penang.

It was exactly what we needed. Centrally located, great value for money. All we wanted was a bed, and we got that. In addition to being very clean, it was also a very quiet location and with no external window, free from outside noise, too.

No lift. It may have trouble if you have large luggage.

The room is clean and quite new. A shared kitchen with unlimited tea and coffee. You can wash clothes with wash machine. It’s perfect for a budget solo traveller.

It is located in the city centre. The host is helpful.

The area is a bit sketchy. There’s an alley next to it where the local dealer does business all day long. And the local guys come to go to the toilet in the street

The building is secure. Bathrooms are spotless. Room very basic but ok. Roof terrace with washing facilities which is handy

Neat, organized, like new. Rooms are nice. All is working as expected. If you are a clean-freak and hygienic, and wants a sound sleep, this is a place for you.
