    I booked for 2 but at the last minute another friend decided to tag along. The guesthouse didn't have an extra room for us to book, but the receptionist gave us extra towels & blankets for our comfort which I didn't request so I thought that was a good start to our stay. Receptionist & securities were friendly. The room was alright, it gave us a feeling of somewhat being in Bali for a moment which was nice. Quiet place filled with plants smack in the city. Loved it.

    Short, peaceful stay with most people quiet and considerate, set in a historical convenient location

    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room

    Hair dropped mixed withn dirt blocking the drain hole in most of the bathrooms. It caused flood during shower in the bathrooms that needed cleaning. I didn't like the narrow bathrooms which were dirty, not clean. I did not like and refused my bed being placed right infront of the toilet/bathroom door, but luckily my request to change bed and room was granted. Lastly, thetr was garbage overflow on/around the bins upstairs and empty bottles everywhere. Not happy with cleanliness standard at this hostel.

    It was a peaceful, short stay. Short walk to Komtar, Prangin Mall and local kopitiam with plenty of choices. I liked the excellent location. The staff was friendly and helpful and I feel safe with the night security guard. I definitely appreciated the complimentary filtered water supply at the lounge area, and cozy places to sit in the salon at night. I also liked the complimentary locker, which could be bigger.

    The wall is so thin , i can hear other talk walk at midnight that wake me up.

    It’s a lovely old house located in the town , easy to get food or drink. Can walk to many famous place.but in the picture it shows 3 doors in front of the guesthouse , actually they only have a little 1 door , not look beautiful as the picture by the outside. By the way the room was nice , cute room except the stair , it’s so high to go to the room. The bathroom quite less. I was in a private room with shared bathroom, my room wasn’t that clean , i found some dust at the electrical plug.

    I didn't care for the bathroom, lacking in space, sinks and shower/toilet rooms. Primitive setup with just enough to take care of oneself. The bunk room's bathroom felt a bit like being in a barn with the exterior wall open to the outside atmosphere. To be honest not an inspiring atmosphere. But better than the Dou Houz setup.

    The downstairs lounge, dining areas. The front patio/sidewalk sitdown area.The space inside the bunk room.

    My stay at RopeWalk Guesthouse in Georgetown, Penang was decent overall. The check-in process was smooth, and the location near eateries and shopping areas was convenient. However, the thin walls made it noisy, and the shared bathroom was a bit far from the room. On the positive side, I appreciated that the bathroom was always clean and there was hot water at all times. Suitable for short stays, but nothing exceptional.

    The beds are squeaky. So is the floor. But that's okay because the building is quite old. Also, on the second night A/C was kinda of broken so it was really hot in the room.

    The hostel is located in the centre of Georgetown, close to Kimberley Street Food Night Market. You can get some stuff in the hostel too, for example breakfast or coffee.

    Great location budget friendly stay for a few days

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 6 nights

    Because there is no glass on the windows or mosquito net,(there are only wooden panels there with gaps withing - so no noise cancelling) we wasn't able to sleep without earplugs. Sometimes other guests was so loud during the night that even with earplugs it was impossible until 5am. They put a small sign on the wall to stay on lower volume after 10pm but nobody cares. I think the night guard supposed to keep this rule in place. Because of the mosqitoes we also couldn't open the windows - that can be maybe better with rooms on the higher levels.

    The biggest advantage of the accommodation was the location and the possibility to book room with private bathroom. For this price there is not many possibility for that. They also had filtered water / hot water, coffee, tea for free. Staff is friendly and helpful. Wifi worked perfectly well even for work calls.

    There wasn’t a lot I didn’t like, for the price you’re paying, it was great, the rooms were clean and air conditioned and the bathrooms were clean enough

    I loved the location, it’s close to the night markets, the street art, the shopping mall and Love Lane, it was so easy to get around. Also James in the cafe downstairs is lovely and he makes a fantastic cup of coffee

    The walls are super thin, so you can hear everything from reception and rooms either side - they are just plaster boards so be careful! Receptionists were very noisy.

    We stayed in the twin room - literally just bunk beds, with blankets (very itchy) and a night stand. Bathroom was stairs, along with cold and hot water available 24/7. There was security overnight which was a nice feeling. We kept our shoes in our room as I read reviews about people’s being stolen but we didn’t feel unsafe here. Great location, not far from Little India with the best food!
