“Excellent!””
i was really impressed by the cleaning, staff courtesy, and complimentary services this hostel offers. we booked two nights and weren't expecting much from a small business like this; we'd been to other hostel and guest houses in the area previously ... all with disappointing results - dirty private bathrooms, rude personnel, and tiny common rooms. but we never complained; we just got what we paid for. this is not the case with 'red inn cabana'. it's not easy to find if you do not have a map or you've not been to georgetown before. however, locals can help you locate this cozy and family-style little inn. it's located beside the 'chocolate boutique', so you have to enter the shop's parking lot and stay to the right until you find the hostel's 'main lobby'. here, you get a warm welcome from an excellent english-speaking concierge, who also leads you inside the upstairs premises in a short visit to all amenities. there's a spacious common room up there, from where all rooms converge, including the large and well stocked common bathrooms. it is tastefully furnished with a complimentary 24/24 coffee and tea service. breakfast (which is included) is varied and fresh, with a wide range of asian and western foods. we'll surely book this place again for our next trip to penang.

Staff couldn't do enough for us, very helpful”
Really enjoyed staying at the Red Inn Cabana. Agoda has screwed up our booking however the staff did everything they could to put things right for us. We got a great room at a great price. The Inn is in an ideal location for sight seeing and eating in Georgetown. Really though, it was the friendliness and help from the staff there who made the stay so memorable.

Best Place To Stay”
I'm a solo traveler and always stay in Red Inn Cabana since 2013. A good place for single person or family. Easy to go anywhere with taxi or Grab service. You also can walk down the street to any places at town. More best restaurants/cafe nearby. Recommend to everyone who want to Georgetown, Penang!

Great Stay, Great room, great Location”
Staff were excellent and very helpful, especially the Lady from Papau New Guinea, Mr Kamran and the young Malaysian Man. Very centrally located in Georgetown's UNESCO world heritage area, nothing is too far to get to (and that's coming from a guy who needs the assistance of a stick to walk). Plenty of street food and restaurants nearby as well as the main tourist attractions and funky street art. In Short an excellent stay. Only minor gripe is Sh*t slow Internet but this is an island wide problem, not limited to Red Inn Cabana.

Good location but need a sound-proved window”
we were in penang on a short trip and needed a place in the city so that we can move around easily. red inn cabana is in a very good location. it s right next to unesco world heritage - cheong fatt tzu mansion which is on top of our penang checklist. we also heard that there is a lot of nice cafe in love lane and it is only less than 10 minute-walk from the hostel. we find the location is very good. the staff was relatively nice. the only drawback would be the noise control, as the hostel is surrounded by karaoke and night clubs which will go on until 3-4 am in the morning. on my first night i could only fall asleep at 3 am (and unfortunately have to wake at at 5.30 for a marathon). so if you are a lite sleeper like me, maybe you should try red inn on love lane instead (red inn and 3-4 hostel across penang).

Cool, Value for Money and Good Location”
Red Inn Cabana was very pleasant. Although it was quite hard to find it as it was located at the back of a chocolate museum! The reception staff was attentive to our needs and gave us ample explanation. The room we choose was with shared bathroom and it was cleaned by the staff most of the time. Location wise is good as we were able to walk to everywhere. Would definitely recommend others for a budget stay. Thumbs up :)

Clean Hotel and Nice design. ”
I have booked room at Red Cabana once i arrived at 9pm the hotel told us the room was fully booked and we have transfer to The Sovereign Hotel,everthing was good in The Sovereign Hotel the hotel is really amazing.just a bit disappointed the staff should email or call us to inform we have to transfer to The Sovereign Hotel. So that easy for us direct to the hotel once i arrived at cabana inn the staff there no apologies at all. for some advise you can improve your service to not get scold from guest. overall the hotel is ok. we will come back and stay with you again. thank you.

Lovely Hotel”
Red Inn Cabana is not well known for taxi drivers, but easy to find by using google earth. The location is not far from Komta Bldg. (5 mins. walk). The hotel is renovated from an old house divided into small rooms with a/c, but w/o bathroom. The bathrooms and toilets are outside the room. The staff (Filipina and Indonesian) is lovely and helpful.

If possible, we love to stay more 2 nights.”
despite of tv problem (no channels set up), we had a great time at Red Inn Cabana. The little noise from Red Garden Cafe (known as Food Court) made our sleep better in our very comfortable bed. Great Value!

Gemma Fantastic manager made our stay a pleasure”
Central location next to food market nice to go out for dinner but can get a bit noisy we could hear them singing from our room something one can get use too though, wanted to take this time to extend a special thank you to Gemma the manager at Red inn Cabana who is always friendly helpful and professional one example of this which made an impression on us was when one of the days the breakfast was not available because of the cook not delivering or so Gemma tried to explain , i am thinking it was more that the person responsible for the booking of the breakfast didn’t think that the starving guests sitting upstairs waiting ,were not important enough to consider, because let’s face it they ,could have made other arrangements!! as you can imagine we were all pretty upset , Gemma then took it upon herself to make sure we got our breakfast she went out i can only imagine on a pushbike because when she returned she looked exhausted but she delivered!!!! managing to turn an very negative situation into a very very positive one. This is just one example i don’t have enough room for all the other things she does for guests staying here we all felt looked after and cared for thank you once again to Gemma for looking after us throughout our stay as the saing goes ITS THE GOOD STAFF THAT MAKE A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS AND ITS THE BAD STAFF THAT RUIN IT. We will be giving Gemma a 5 for staff performance

Disappointing”
We booked the Red Inn Cabana because off the great reviews online, along with its location and for the price the guesthouse looked great. We were though sorely disappointed. Our room was a good size and very clean, however was located (like most of the others) along the hallway that connects downstairs and the bathroom, to a sitting room and other rooms. The floor is floor boarded and so we heard EVERY step that was taken along that hallway from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. Least to say we didn't sleep much, if at all that night. People coming home at all hours of the night, walking heavy footed and talking in the sitting room and we heard it all. We were woken on numerous occasions. We were then woken early in the morning with screaming running children, running up and down the hallway. We understand that this is out of the staffs control but there should be something done for customers to be able to sleep a night comfortably. The breakfast consists of noodles and bananas, if anything was left. Unless you woke up as soon as breakfast starts then you get none. Location was great, right next to the Red Garden food market, But all in all we were disappointed. We only stayed 1 night and checked into a much better/quieter hotel for the same price up the street - Oriental Hotel.

Reasonable price an”
Perfect location - 10 min from Komtar and near the Heritage district. Clean rooms and showers/toilets, air-con and lockers in the room. Breakfast included means toasts and margarine, tea and coffe. It was qute difficult to find Red Inn because its entrance is hidden behind the Chocolate Museum.

A great Place to Stay! ”
I like it here very much! The place is in the heart of Georgetown! Very easy ! Accessible to every places here in Georgetown and the bus stop for Rapid Penang is just 200m away to get you to where you want to go! Recommended! Stamped!

Noise and mosquitoes”
My stay/sleep would have been great if Red Inn Cabana wasn't too close to the night entertainment spots nearby. The windows at the inn are old and those almost nothing to block out the noise. But, to an extent, this was unavoidable because the music nearby way was TOO loud. The inn does provide ear plugs upon request. Other than that, I killed a total of 8 mosquitoes so provisions of mosquito repellent by the hotel would have been great. All in all, the place is located just about 20mins from a few historical sights and 5mins from the eateries, clubs and other conveniences.

Nice & cosy place" but very basic rooms”
the hotel/hostel is not much to look at out side due to being part of the chocolate boutique next door" on the plus side its easy to find & have lovely chocolate. however when you get inside the red cabana inn, the walk trough reception area is nice which follows through to the stone garden court yard were there is tables & chairs also has a flat screen tv" the inside of the hotel is very clean with polished wood flooring i think you need to walk softly at night' before you get to the rooms there is a cosy open lounge which all leads to the different types of bedrooms' another place to be quit at night. my room was clean but small & basic so changed to a bigger room, was ok seems to have not much plug in power sockets in the rooms. as for the shared bathroom, this was very clean & modern, could do with some hand towels by the hand basins tho' at night time this place gets bombarded by load music at night from next door food plazer starts about 9.30 to 2 to 3 am which is a shame for the red cabana inn i hope they can resovle this some how.
