Tido Hostel Penang
106, Jalan Argyll, 10050 George Town, Malaysia – Great location - show map
The best hostel I have stayed so far! I like it that it's quiet on the 5th floor..can get some work done in private and eat peacefully. The staff is very polite and helpful. It's very clean and toilets are just like hotels. The location is perfect for many tourist places. I just love the lift, which is fast. The ambience is remarkable! So peaceful and everyone follows the rules strictly..very matured tourists! It's pretty affordable, too. What I want to be improved is that each bed be equipped with dark curtains so that we have some privacy. For now, the lights from others are bright and shine on our faces, and we have to hang towels, clothes, etc, like curtains to block it. Would appreciate it if you could change the bulbs to white instead of the current ones that are yellow. I really had a great time and definitely recommend this hostel! 👌
