Like most of the budget hotels in Penang, it's an old shop which has been converted to a hotel and given the heritage title.As the building was never meant for a hotel it has its set of problems. The rooms have very thin wall as they are made of plywood. U can hear movements from next room, the wooden floor... More

There are a few hostels in the Red Inn range. I'm rating the Red Inn Heritage Hostel right next to the Reggae Hostel on Love Lane. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm for 27RM. The pros: they have air con, there's a tv and DVD collection, price includes breakfast (fried egg, sausage, 2 pieces of toast, and tea or... More

For the price, service, location and facilities, I am loving it. Stayed in a family room of 3 beds. The bed is premium and some of the shared shower room is almost 5 stars. No complains but the only problem I can find is the partition separating the rooms are very thin. I can even hear my next door packing... More

I've seen a few reviews whereby people complain about the fact that this place is filled with backpackers and isn't suitable for families etc. These people probably go to a steak house and complain that it isn't suitable for vegetarians! Anyone with any sense, or the sense to do their research would soon realise that this place is primarily catering... More

Yesterday I went to stay for a night, when I checked in, there is small renovation work doing at certain area and repair works are on going. When I bath, the volume of the water is uncertain and cause me have to use more time to bath. I hope you can improve at this point.

Booking was done fast over email. The counter staff was attentive, but wasn't knowledgeable enough to answer our enquires. They took RM50 as room deposit which was returned when we checked out. We stayed three nights in Room 105, RM80 per night. A double bed, table, chair, basin, bedside table and attached bathroom. The ceiling was made of plasterboard walls(?),... More

Easy enough to find on love lane with lots of other hotels etc. Drinks/ice blocks available at front desk, desktop computers and wifi availble. Massive TV and plush couches in common area and tea/coffee available. Breakfast was included which was handy but simple (curry and rice, jam on toast) - once something was finished, it was gone so pays to... More

Clean and beautiful hostel. This building is builded about 100 year ago. You can wash your clothes by yourself and dry in there for free. They provide computer, travel information for free, just ask the staff if you have no idea of where to go. You can rent a motorcycle nearby there for RM$35 a day! their services are excellent.

Myself and my girlfriend stayed here for two nights, ended up being perfectly suited to our needs! The double bed was clean and the shower and toilet facilities were well maintained. Other services such as PC's & laundry were good by local standards. Only negative I would say is that they tried to charge us an few extra dollars after... More
