Location and price is perfect for backpackers”
Location is in Little India and food is everywhere. The hostel provides free towel, toiletries and has a pantry with oven and pot for free use coz they do not have free breakfast. The only downside is their squeaky beds but the rest is nice. Just prepare an ear plug to muffle the noise.

Don't go”
Since it was a Malaysian holiday, we had no choice but to book this hotel. We had to go in at the Rainbow guesthouse and an unmotivated employee gave us our key. We got a room with a window, which seemed nice since electricity stopped sometimes and we wouldn't have any light otherwise. However, there were 3 AC units right outside our window making lots of noise at night and keeping us awake. So did the traffic in the busy street. Furthermore, the sheets were stained, there was hair on the floor and there was only a bed in the room. Nothing to lay your stuff on.

My first night at the hostel was spent alone and in a mixed dorm. I didn't have much of a good experience there because the other people there were inconsiderate and noisy well beyond 12am. Because of that, I wanted to switch to a private room with my boyfriend (who arrived the second night). The staff was so accommodating and understandable and made the switch to the private room easy for me and my boyfriend. The staff were very helpful and kind. Despite my rough first night, my whole experience in Sunny Side was amazing. I highly recommend...their private rooms ;)

A really nice place to stay”
They've got 3 clean and hot water equipped shared bathrooms, so you don't need to worry about queue. It took us just 5 minutes from the hostel to Penang street art. There have been so many convience stores like & Eleven just right next door. The owner is very hospitable, friendly and helpful. My friend lost his phone on Uber, and she had tried her best to help us take back the phone even it was at midnight.

Good for short stay”
Not the best hotel but cheapest I can find around Georgetown. The best are near ferry terminal, plenty of good food stall around and nearby attractions. Bad reasons to stay after 9pm there no sign of hotel staffs, stay at your own risk, is best to stay in private room. Seriously need to upgrade their furnishings, and their rooms are really compact.

Very difficult to find. The name of the place is Milky Coat and then underneath, which appears like an afterthought and in smaller signage it reads ‘and Sunnyside Enterprises’. Taxi drivers can’t find it either as the frontage of the place is set further aback. Female only dorms are non existent but the owners still advertise there is one which caused me a little bit of inconvenience. Other than this it’s a very clean and friendly place and fairly quiet. I’d recommend it but know this..all dorms are mixed.

Good option to stay”
We had a double room for a few nights. Great location in the heart of Little India with abundance of places to eat and visit around. Walking distance to many interesting sites. Very helpful staff and clean shared bathrooms. Basic accommodation but good.

Excellent”
The room is equipped with air conditioner and good wifi connection. Not all beds have the private curtain. The drawback is the bed makes very loud squeaky noise when you make any movement.
