"It's located far from the city center, but there's a new park and two large shopping centers nearby.
It's hard to find the guesthouse immediately as there's no sign.
Self-check-in, with quick communication via private messages.
Overall, it was clean.
You can only sleep with earplugs.
Single room: There's only one power outlet, and it's by the desk, not near the bed, which is a big drawback. The windows offer no soundproofing. There are several air conditioners right by your head – one for this room, another for a different one. The walls are thin and seem DIY.
The pillow is hard, small, uncomfortable, and there's only one. The mattress is a bit firm. The bedding is average. The towel is thin.
You have to walk through the kitchen to get to the shower. The toilets and showers are combined and lack soundproofing. This is very inconvenient and uncomfortable. The shower is installed directly over the toilet, which is a very poor design choice, even though the renovation itself is good.
There are kitchen utensils, a refrigerator, a washing machine, a microwave, hot and cold water, cookies, and instant coffee available.
The single room can sometimes be cheap. It's suitable for undemanding travelers.
If the prices were lower, it would be justified."

SSolo trav☀️I stayed at Swing & Pillows @75 Muntri in a queen-size room and had a good overall experience for the price. The bed was soft and comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and the shared bathroom was clean. The location is easy to find, with nice streets and surroundings to explore nearby.
I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and fresh the place felt. The facilities are excellent for a budget stay, including a microwave, fridge, water dispenser, and a small kitchen for guests. The room itself was spotless and well-maintained.
However, the walls are quite thin, so noise from other guests can be easily heard, especially doors and footsteps at night. The staircase is also narrow and requires some caution.
Overall, AQ offers great value for money and is a good choice for budget travelers, as long as you don’t mind some noise.
MMunch lamI really enjoyed my 2 night stay at their standard double room with attached bathroom. Located in a heritage building with lots of old world charm. Even though they cater to budget travelers, they have a nice lobby and good service. Location is great- a stones throw away from delicious hawker food at Kimberly Street & Penang Road and 10 minutes walk to the Georgetown UNESCO world heritage area. Lots of eateries and cafe around. The room is clean, bed is comfortable, everything in the room works as advertised. And it is quiet too for a good nights sleep. I would visit again.
GGuest UserI'm not sure what to think about this hotel. It has all the essentials (water fountain, ironing board, hairdryer), but the room is poorly soundproofed – you can hear almost everything from outside the windows. There's no elevator, and you have about 10 steps to climb plus more steps to even enter the hotel (which is tough with suitcases and bags). The common areas are extremely hot, and there's no luggage storage (though it was mentioned in the listing, we just didn't see it). On the positive side, the location is great, and check-in was fast. Thanks!
AAnonymous UserThe location was convenient, with plenty of restaurants and food options nearby, and the air conditioning worked well during our stay.
However, the overall experience was average. Prior to arrival, we received very little communication regarding the check-in process. The only information provided was an email requesting guest details and a RM300 security deposit. As international travellers preparing to depart, this created unnecessary stress, and we eventually had to make an international phone call to clarify the check-in arrangements.
The check-in process was fully self-service, and we never met the host in person. The apartment was functional, but there were visible signs of water damage and dampness in several areas. The curtains also had noticeable water stains, and the overall condition felt more worn than expected from the listing photos.
The security deposit was refunded after check-out, but despite being advised that there would be no fees, the amount received was reduced due to international transfer charges.
Overall, the stay was acceptable for a short visit because of the convenient location, but the communication, maintenance, and deposit process could be improved.
SSP.ChooStaying in the heart of George Town, Penang, offers a nostalgic step back in time. My guesthouse was tucked away on a remarkably quiet side street, providing a peaceful escape from the city’s usual roar. However, just a short stroll away, the neighborhood transformed into a vibrant local night market, filled with the aroma of sizzling char kway teow and bright neon signs.
The accommodation itself was modest. My room was quite small, suited strictly for one person, and the dim lighting created a moody, old-world atmosphere that felt like a movie set. Like many traditional heritage shophouses, the bathroom and toilets were located outside the room, shared among all guests. While simple, the central location and authentic local vibe made it a memorable stay.
VVivian NoraI mean what could possibly ask for a lot with this price but the location is convenient after all.The room is small & the toilet is just mobile toilet and the hair dryer was broken when we stayed there but they came & replace it with a new one in the morning.Check in is easy just with passcode but it’s hard to contact to property on time actually.The bed was not too soft but it’s okay for travelers.Overall Clearly needs renovation since the room is dusty & hallway is quite smell.
Mmay钟I chose this hotel mainly for the sea view directly across the street. However, the first thing I saw when I opened the door was a lot of hair on the floor, indicating very poor hygiene. The room was very small, and the shower room was even smaller, making it difficult to bathe my baby. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers were not provided. The exhaust fan in the toilet was broken, so the smoke couldn't escape, and it got really stuffy with the steam when showering. I hope they can fix this to avoid inconveniencing other guests. Downstairs, breakfast was available, including vegetarian curry rice and bread. Regardless of how many people were in your party, they only provided two servings. If you wanted to add meat or eggs, you had to pay extra. Overall, I was not very satisfied. I had booked for two nights, but I didn't even stay for the third night and booked elsewhere instead.
JJustin07I can say this is a classic hotel, although the building quite old but the room was good, toilet was good. Air cond was cold perfect. WiFi excellent even I stay on 8 floor still connect well, they gave me the room can see the mountain and sea perfect view for me. Price was affordable for everyone I can say, locate was near the bar, restaurant, pasar, sea view as well.
Didn't expect the room like this 👌

The price is reasonable
It’s quite clean

I think I will be back again
GGuest UserWe had a good stay there, comfortable, staff are okay but on my last day I was locked outside when the door knob mulfunctioned. Luckily the staff was giving full cooperation. Overall, recommended if you are travelling to explore places around Georgetown area and nearby places.
