What guests are saying:
everything is good.
We landed gone midnight and EST was still open and happy to receive us. It’s clean, convenient, and such value for money.
WORTH IT
The price ok. Near to airport. Wifi not good. There are warung to eat char kuay teow, nasi ayam nearby.
Water pressure on third floor quite low.
Totally satisfying for the prices. Great option for backpackers and those who like to go out on an adventure the whole day and back to their hotel for a good and comfortable rest.
Hotel Is Just Perfect and Beyond My Expectation Of A Low Budget Hotel Near Airport Just Have To Experience To See It But There's No Lift So It Would Be A Hassel If U Have Big Bag But Its Worth It
Very close to airport, not too small a room for the rate charged!very friendly and professional staffs and fast at checking in.food shops close by.sweet decoration from staircase to room.would definitely stay here again if in need to fly through Penang airport.

Great location for Transit”
The staff did not allow us to leave our baggage at the hotel so we are forced to bring it along while touring around Penang.. although they said that we can leave it via message in Agoda they did not say that there is a time limit in leaving it with them.

Affordable stay”
The room was super value for money with all the basic facilities. However, the air con in our room kept on auto closed off every 1 hour. It is close to the airport and Queensbay mall but very far away from Georgetown, but this was what we wanted as it is near to the penang marathon starting area. Overall, everything is good except maybe we should have ask the staff to help with the air con problem which we didn't do.

Value for money, 5 minutes to Penang Airport”
I was looking for nearest and cheapest hotel to airport as i took morning flight and dont want to get caught in traffic. this is definitely a good choice if you want to avoid bad traffic on your way to airport.
Satisfactorily basic necessity (boutique hotel standard) but staff at the counter needs to work faster a bit.

Quaint, clean, comfortable ”
We were quite surprised when we got here. For a budget hotel, everything about EST was classy. Check in and check out were a breeze, loved the decor, room was perfectly clean and comfortable. Our one issue was that the heater was broken, but because we didn’t mind a cold shower, we didn’t bother asking for another room. Overall, I’d definitely come back if I needed a place for an overnight stay. Thanks!

Condition Of Room”
The condition of the room is really bad, lamps are not working, aircond is not cold and aircond pipe is leaking into the room. Bed also not that comfortable. Actual room is totally different from what you see in photo. Agoda should seriously look into these hotels before selling the rooms to members.

I went to Penang for 3 days. Stayed in EST on the first night & come back later on the 3rd day”
Its very clean and comfortable. You would be shock what EST offer for that price. We stayed in EST on our 1st night in Penang and later check out to a much pricey hotel in Georgetown. But got shocked seeing how horror that hotel was. We were supposed to stay there for the rest of our trip. But cancelled it and go back to EST. Even if EST is quite far from Georgetown. It is still recommended. Definitely value for money. The staff even permitted us to left our stuff there upon check out before our flight that night. I would definitely choose EST again.

No HOT water it sucks taking a cold shower! No good places to eat near by. No exchange near by. Taxi drivers are a rip off watch out for them . Get uba instead. Nice employees, small room. As they say you get what you pay for! Cheap hotel near airport that’s about it.

Best for Locals”
Pros: spacious room; air-con; heated shower;
Con: no elevator; dim lights; shower has no partition with toilet and basin (making sharing difficult); no fridge
Note: based on the location (5min taxi to airport), & the restaurants and shops selections (or lack thereof) within walking distance to the hotel, this place is not suitable for Westerners. Their idea of cleaning a room is to wipe everything with wet towel then let you in, forcing me to wipe down the room myself. If what you are looking for is just a place to sleep before a flight and nothing else then this hotel is ok.

Nice budget hotel close to the airport to catch a morning flight. Nothing much to do around though. Just enough small stalls to eat something before sleeping. Aircon was blowing "not that cold air" and wifi has been pretty unstable but enough for checking emails. Room is clean and well equipped. Staff helpful and nice. Ok for 1 night

This hotel is very convenient if you have an early morning flight out of the Penang, Malaysia airport. It is only about a 10 minute drive from the hotel to the airport. It is clean and easy to find. There are no elevators so if you have luggage, you need to be able to carry up the stairs.
