I stayed at Ryokan for 3 nights while in Penang. My booking for a 6-bed dorm was upgraded to a 4-bed dorm because the hostel wasn't busy, which was nice. The location is great - right in the middle of the city, so the sights are within walking distance. The free breakfast is filling and a great bonus - eggs,... More

ideally located in the centre of george town. japanese style chic hostel with very friendly and accomodating staff. definately will stay here again if I am in Penang again. locacted just off Love Lane. great for the night food stalls, try the penang assam laksa and the curry mee. i found the rooms spotless, they serve a fantastic breakfast.

Stayed there alone in the 6-bed mixed dorm for 2 nights. A new concept B&B with great facilities and friendly staffs. Comfy bed. Clean environment too. Love the rain shower with hot/cold function. Nice American breakfast. Feels good to just chill indoor at Ryokun Penang. But something should be done to the wooden floor on floor above..some guests tend to... More

I stayed there for 2 nights with one of my backpack friend and we LOVE it. Both of us are girls but we wanted to keep it a low budget trip, so we picked the 6 bed-dorm. Everything were very new, and compare to many hostel in Malaysia, this is considered very very nice. I like their service, and the... More

I stayed there for 2 nights, and enjoyed the stay. I was totally alone in the dorm. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Communal bathrooms and toilets are clean and sufficient. The design of the hostel is definitely chic and modern but at the same time retain the charm from the past glory. Like the wooden floor, however, there's a crack... More

I called Ryokan the night before we arrived and was offered a deal to book out a 4 bed dorm privately for my sister and I. We took the deal and were happy with our decision to stay at Ryokan. The staff are friendly, the hostel is clean and well designed and the internet worked pretty well. The blankets provided... More

I didn't expect anything when I first made my booking with Ryokan. RM35 includes breakfast (egg, hotdog, and unlimited bread and coffee/tea), towel, and blanket. Most importantly, the environment is clean and spacious!! Much better than the hostels in Singapore which I stayed that cost S$26~35. The only cons will be the wooden floor which makes squeaky noise when someone... More

I stayed there with my friend and her baby in an en suit room. The room was clean and comfortable but the air circulation was very bad. Well, there was no window in the room anyway. If you do not keep the air conditioner on all the time, you cannot breathe there. But the staff was nice and bar counter... More

I miss the environment in the private room, so clean, so cozy, so comfortable, especially the bed, i am missing it soo much!! Love the staffs there, very polite and friendly. Love the breakfast, feeling so at home. Just love everything in Ryokan Chic hostel
