Good location, very affordable and clean

Get a bigger room, you won't be dissapointed”

I've stayed at KF twice now - once in an upstairs room, once in a bigger room with attached bathroom downstairs. The upstairs smaller room was perfectly acceptable. But the downstairs room with the attached bathroom is an absolute steal for the price! Great location, close to good cheap (and not so cheap) food, close to bus, close to Thai Consulate if that is the purpose of your visit. Friendly and helpful staff, freely available clean cold drinking water, safe and secure entrance, KF is a really nice place to stay. It's no pretentious 5 star hotel with manicured gardens and 24 hour room service, but if you just need somewhere to sleep when you're done exploring for the day you can't go past KF.

Things that go bump in the night”

Pros: Fantastic food right next to KF. Authentic local hawkers food a 5 minute walk away. Super friendly staff. Excellent priced rooms. Free filtered water machine, perfect for filling a bottle. Close to a bus stop, easy for the budget traveller to get into the center of town. Staff can order a Grab for you and they arrive quickly so you can get to somewhere further away for relatively cheap. Cons: Thin walls, so you'll hear people coming and going at night if you're a light sleeper. The aricon in my room was posessed - fan didn't work, but would make an awful racket trying sometimes. The stairs are scary! Glad I don't wear heels! Unless you stand in the correct spot, you have to be a contortionist to get out of the lavatory upstairs. Being such a small place, take a map and some google maps photos of the exterior and some cross-street names with you before you attempt to catch a bus or taxi to KF. I didn't, and not even the shops nearby knew KF. Really nice place, I will return!

Cheap accommodation near to Gurney Drive and Pulau Tikus”

Staff friendly. Next door evening seafood shop nice. Sunday morning duck rice looks delicious . Was given the master bedroom. Clean and spacious. Outside toilet very small. TV channels limited.

Basic Budget Guesthouse”

We booked a room with bathroom but there was no private "bathroom" in the room, it is a kind of portable bathroom facility which is quite inconvenient for bathing and toileting. At last, we use the public bathroom and toilet outside the room. Overall satisfied with the cheap price and cleanliness but nothing else great.

You pay what you get for”

Booked a twin room. Cons: Room is awfully small with no windows. The air conditioner rattles like crazy at night - terrible if you are a light sleeper. Shower room is very cramped. You will sit on the toilet with your kness touching the door. Stairs are very steep. Usually there is no one at the reception. Pros: Location is close to the two big malls. Street food and convenience store are close by. Price for the rooms is cheap during low season. Laundry service provided at reasonable price. Free drinking water. Free shower gel and shampoo at the shower if you are lucky. Towels provided .

Good Guesthouse near Gleneagles Hospital”

Need to ask more from the staff about the facility

Room with bathroom but improper”

My intention get a room with bathroom, but maybe my mistake didn’t see clearly. Room was attach with “shower” only. There is do not have basin and toilet bowl/chamber pot. Still need go to share bathroom basin and pee/poo. Feel uncomfortable with my room booked. Just didn’t expect room without proper bathroom.

Good, cheap room”

Location not so interresting, but not so far from two big shopping malls.

Good for short stay”

Not the 1st time staying with KF, totally a nice place to consider too. Love the food beside the inn and cheap as well.

Clean & Comfortable”

Had a good experience staying in this Guesthouse and would be the 1st choice if gonna stay that area next time. The restaurant next door was economical and cheap. Foremost, the food are tasty.

Great Stay”

Assist by a warm welcome by the receptionist there. Room was clean and tidy, working facilities. Will be in consideration if wanna stay in Penang again.

Good Location”

Easily get here by using google maps. Kind Staff with fast check in. Limited Parking in front the guest house.

Very clean ”

Looks like everything is new. Nice clean bathroom and shower. Very well kept and extremely nice mattress and comforter. I kept sleeping too long because it was so comfortable. Only suggestion is place more hooks up high, in the shower stall for clothes. Also, I don't think it's necessary to have a surveillance camera in the shower area.

Not bad”

We didn't know that we had to share the bathroom, so we were shocked at first, but I know it was our fault. Staffs were super kind and friendly, and there're two bus stops in 1 min walking distance each(you should wait for the buses forever tho), so you can easily go to center of George Town. 7-11 is just across the street, and small local market(I and my company called it 'pop-up stores' is just around the corner from 7-11. You can enjoy local food in the evening and buy some fresh fruits in the morning.

Okay for a night or two”

Friendly staff, clean bathroom, near bus station. However, wi-fi was infected with viruses or something, browsing was difficult, weird pop-ups and adds kept showing up. Toilet was very small and aircon didn't work well. Also, it looked like they hadn't cleaned under the bed for months (lots of dust and rubbish from previous guests).

Great stay ”

Very helpful and caring staff. The room is renovated not long ago. Very safe door. Clean. Thanks a lot!

Great budget stay”

If you are looking for somewhere to stay on a budget this place is perfect. It's clean and the staff are lovely. They own the resturant next door which does really good cheap food and drinks. We were doing a visa run so it took 15 minutes to walk to the Thai Immigration office. There is free water just behind the office (hot or cold). If I had to travel to George Town again I would stay here. Not far from nice restaurants and curry places for 6 ringgit a meal.
