Very good budget accomodation. Simple, minimalist, but got all the basic required : a comfortable bed, aircond, Wi-Fi and hot showers. It's getting hard these days to find budget accomodation that is clean but this place is perfectly clean. Bedsheets and towels are fresh. The street is quiet. Got hot/cold water dispenser on first floor and a fridge if you need to store medication. No reception but the customer service through WhatsApp is quickly responsive and accommodating.

Strategically located in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Wassup Youth Hostel offers accommodations in Penang. It features an outdoor swimming pool and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

The greatest highlight of my stay at Wassup Youth was undoubtedly the exceptional value for money. The affordable rates, combined with the quality of service and accommodation, made it an outstanding choice for budget travelers. Located in a convenient and easily accessible area. This made it incredibly convenient for exploring the city and reaching popular attractions. Additionally, the hotel was surrounded by a variety of dining options, shops, and entertainment venues, ensuring that everything I needed was just a short walk away.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Clean, comfortable and very valuable for money. It is better for you to have a car or bike for travelling. The restaurant quite far for walking but if you are travellung by car should be no problem. It is quite near to the town hence for local people it should be no problem. For backpacker, you might need to stay in the georgetown for your own convenience

    The host (property owner) is superbly nice and helpful! The apartment is located in a residential area, with good facilities and proper neighborhood. The apartment itself is comfortable and has good view. Since Grab is quite cheap, it’s convenient to travel from the apartment to other parts of the island (Georgetown, Queen’s Bay, airport)
