I booked 3nights for a friend over the CNY but she had to leave for Chiangmai. The owner shouted at me and was verbally agressive when I tried to cancel the booking 24 hours ahead as stipulated by Hostelworld.com. The owner of Love Lane Inn refused the cancellation, and demanded that I informed Hostelworld myself. Hostelworld's policy clearly stipulated that... More

We arrived in Georgetown without reservations but the 3 recommended places we tried first were all full so out of desperation and to get out of the rain, we booked in for 3 nights at this place. Big mistake. Tiny room, paper thin walls, Wifi not working, grotty and too few bathrooms and to top it all off, there was... More

Having read some of the reviews after checking in to love lane inn I was a bit apprehensive about staying. But after 3 nights, like some of my other reviews, I have to say 'stop moaning people'. The triple room we were in (no 2) was a decent size, quiet enough for a city and dark enough to sleep well... More

I stayed here for 5 days in October 2011. I arrived without booking and the lady at the desk was friendly and helpful. I asked for a single room and right away she showed me the room without me even asking. The room was basic, single bed with fan and a small table. 20RM per night. I was given the... More

The Owner Jimmy is extremely rude (to me as a male person), even at check in for the dormitory. The price was the reason to stay. Obviously, he is used to argue and shout with his customers. I was relieved as I left this place the next day. More

Jimmy is very experienced Host. He offers very good contacts when travel to Thailand and Indonesia. The accommodation is nicely located, clean and very close to attractions and happening part of town. Short walk to eating places and temples. Shoppes are only minutes away, and Love Lane Inn is in the core of Heritage Zone. Remember this is only a... More

We checked in and found an absolutely filthy disgusting mattress, so much so we felt sick at the thought of sleep on it and decided not to stay. We notified the staff, politely, that we would not be staying and they started shouting at us, got abusive and threatened to call the police. We calmly walked away with the owner... More

on my check in day I was witness to the charm of Jimmy and his wife: they both started shouting at a customer who'd forgotten to replace one of the cheapest disposable pens to the reception desk after writing a postcard to his friends telling them what a wonderful place penang is and how the locals are so friendly, WI-FI...
