Strategic Location with A Comfort Room & Value for Money”

This will be my first time experience stayed in Tido Penang Hostel and really like it. The room is quite cosy and comfortable. Each person got one big locker space with key, pillow and mattress, reading light, a plug, blanket and towel. The hostel consist of 5 floors, 1st to 4th floor comes with 5 rooms & 5 individual bathroom & WC. The lounge on 5th floor was big and had great 2 swinging egg chairs and plenty of space over looking the view of the city. There was also a computer if you need to use one. Every floor has a iron and board. The 5th floor comes with books/magazine cupboard, table bench & high chair, soft sofa, a fridge, refillable hot/cold water filter and a small kitchenette. Breakfast is at 5th floor overlooking the city in the morning that comes with self service toast, 4 types of spread, biscuits, coffee, tea & filtered water. Every shared bathroom is clean and comes with rain shower hot/cold pressure power and shampoo/body wash. Highly recommend Tido.. :)

GREAT EXPERIENCE !”

Greetings ! it was my first time staying at Tido Penang Hostel and it was an amazing experience. The rooms and toilet are clean, and spacious ! It even have Qiblat direction at each room which will ease the muslim travellers who wish to perform prayer in the room. Every room can be lock from inside and from the outside via key given. I have to thank Nandhiny, the receptionist during the morning shift and an indian lady that worked during the evening shift for the warm hospitality as well as the other friendly staffs. The location of this hostel is also near to the main road, and easy to get foods during the night (close to Chulia Street; food street during the night). Look forward to stay here again.

Worth every pennies & good ambiance ”

Location wise is still good even though a bit far from Penang Road or Padang Kota Lama. Easy to find parking (and its free). Clean floor & bedding. Upon checking in, you’ll get new clean decent sized towel & blanket. Had toast for breakfast with variety choices of jam. Clean cutlery, glasses & cups. Very very very nice ambiance especially in the lobby area (tho a bit warm compared to the room). Plenty of space in the 8beds dorm room. So if u don’t like cramped dorm room, Tido is the best for you. Very stable bunk beds so do not worry if you have the upper bed. If you’re light sleeper, bring your own earbuds cause it might get a bit noisy from the outside. Staff friendly & you can just ask anything like direction & all. Overall very pleasant stay I’m looking forward to my next stay here. ^^

Excellent Place :)”

I stayed in a private room at this hostel with shared bathroom, which was nice and clean. The room was basic but very good with nice view of the city. The lounge on 5th floor was big and had great 2 swinging egg chairs and plenty of space over looking the view of the city. There was also a computer if you need to use one. It had a microwave, fridge and utensil etc which was very useful. The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful. The manager was very helpful with his knowledge of where to eat and where to go sight seeing. The service overall was excellent and the facility was fabulous. The location was in a quiet area and very convenient for eating out. Highly recommend Tido.. :)

Book at this hostel right the way!! Don't wait!!”

I've got to admit that this hostel is one of the best hostels I've ever seen in my life and I've been in a lot of them around the world. It's truly THE HOSTEL WHERE TO BE. I wouldn't ask for more. You're home away from home. I stayed there for five (5) nights. Perfect!! It deserves its 10/10. It puts a lot of hostels in Europe and North America into a big big shame. You can't go wrong with the regular, let alone the discounted, price, location...Thanks very much, everybody for all the great and outstanding work done in a very professional way at this great hostel. Big Big Five!! Mike from Canada. Wish you the best and hope to come back in the future for sure. Cheers,

Such a lovely hostel”

Lv so much this hostel. Clean. Closed to komtar.bus station n other attraction. From airport u can take bus AT pay RM. 2.7 passing this hotel...transfer street.. Will stay again..Rate is extraordinary.. Tks TIDO.. I really can TIDO well..

The best hostel”

This is definitely one of the nicest hostels I’ve ever stayed at. I can’t believe how cheap it was per night for the standard of this place and the room price also included breakfast! The common area was so nice, if you want a place to relax then you need to book into this hostel. The standard here is more of a hotel than a hostel, I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Awesome place with good price”

This is my first time stay on dorm which is a very good experience. The dorm is very clean. At night surely you will get a good night sleep due to very silent and comfortable bed. The shared bathroom is clean, they provide shampoo and bath lotion only. The rest you should prepare yourself. The only issue you need to be aware is your belonging. Don't leave any precious stuff whenever your are leaving the room. During my stay, my room mate lost his iphone and they couldn't even get it back. Anyway, the staff and manager are very friendly and helpful if you need to go anywhere. This dorm is very well situation nearby to tourist attraction. I love how easy for me to get food or buy anything from convenience store. So don't worry if you ever get hungry in the middle of the night. If you need to rent a bike, the dorm provide this service which they park the bike in front of their entrance. I found it easier to travel via bike in Georgetown. Will come back to this dorm on my next visit.

Amazing Staff but the hotel is okay”

We stayed for few days in Tido and I have to say that one of the good things about Tido are the people working there, everyone tries to go far and beyond to help but I guess the manager or owner of Tido is not doing much for it. The Room: Just as it look in the photos, really good and comfy bed. The Shared toilet: Not all the toilets were open in my floor but not many ppl where on that floor so that was fine. The Policy of NO SHOES is good but I would still use my flip flops or sandals to have a shower. The FREE BREAKFAST: Look, this is not really breakfast and it shouldn’t be promoted Like that. It is literally Black Coffee with Toast (not the best bread either), so, Don’t expect a regular breakfast or eggs with it, that’s not going to happen. WIFI: Didn’t work on the floor during the 6 days that we stayed there, which means we had to go to the lounge to use (5th floor) Lounge Area: Very nice BUT the Aircon doesn’t work properly!!! It was crazy hot!

Perfect hostel for Georgetown.”

Perfect place to stay if you are on a budget without having to suffer bad accommodation. The location is nearby Komtar, the tall building in the middle of Georgetown, the staffs were the right amount of friendly and helpful. The room is ok, nicely lit, air-co was very good especially when it is hot outside, and the walls are thick to insulate from outside noises. The shared bathroom was very clean, good shower and toilet in the same stall. The lounge communal area on the top floor overlooks the surrounding areas, instagram worthy, looking at the roofs around the city

Exceptional”

Most friendly and helpful receptionists ever, so lovely and great first impression of hotel. Everything about the hostel was exceptional, and I don't give praise lightly. It was clean, stylish with great value. Facilities were well equipped and room was clean and comfortable. I could go on but suffice it to say I was very pleased with my stay, and although short and sweet this time, I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.

Exceptional”

Clean comfy rooms and bathroom, really loved the lounge and kitchen area. Staff weren't especially helpful unless you pressed and asked several questions. I arrived two hours before check in and asked if it was ok to check in early. They wordlessly began the check in process and then I read in the paperwork that I would be charged a fee for early check in, which they confirmed when I asked about it. I don't understand why they failed to mention this when I'd originally asked, but I came back later to check in without the fee. I also got mixed answers about the laundry and when I got my laundry back from the hostel staff, a few of my shirts didn't smell fully clean. Other than these small complaints though, I really enjoyed my stay and loved the dorms and lounge. I'd go back again for those reasons.

Great place to stay.”

Been here for 3 times already. I think this time the management should provide better towel. Overall Tido Hostel was great place to stay and very convenience.

Good location and tidy rooms”

The only thing that I am anger about this hostel is when I arrived there(just about 9PM) there was no person standby!!! I have to wait for about 10 mins at the gate of the hostel,because when you didn't check in you can't get a roomcard. After that, a person who have roomcard took me in, and I waited on the hall for about 15 mins! I am sure that's the most rediculous I have met! How can a staff hang out in his working time! Besides that, Everything is good! Clean room and I met some new friends here.

Best hostel I have been in Malaysia!”

This place is your best bang for the buck. Clean. Great, attentive and smiley staff awaiting you and making you always feeling welcomed. You get own big locker, individual bed lights and power points. It is along Transfer Road really so all the Penang food places are all within reach easily by walking distance. Check out their cosy and awesome lounge area at the top floor. Highly recommended! :)

Economical”

It was a suitable place for someone that needed a place to stay for the night. It is affordable, easily accessible and cozy. The common room is an added value as it enables the guest to view Penang at a height. The dormitory could improve by installing curtain to the beds for extra privacy. Overall, it is a go-to place if you are on a tight budget.

Clean and cheap!”

Stayed at a dorm for 3 nights. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. Towel was also provided. Location is somewhat far to the street art but still walking distance. It is 3-5minutes walking to the nearest CAT/rapid penang bus stops.

Must stay! ”

Wonderful staff, clean, cheap drinks & brilliant location. What more would you want?! Whilst we stayed it was lovely and quiet compared to other hostels we’ve been in where there’s banging about at all hours. A refreshing stay for anyone we ended up extending our stay for another 2 nights! If you stay here and need a scooter we rented 2 from Sams bookshop just down the road if you ask reception where it is they’ll tell you. Pretty sure it comes up on google maps too.

worth the money”

stayed 2 nights with my friends. the toilet was super clean well kept. Room is bit small but still very clean and very comfortable. front desk was super friendly even the house keeping was friendly. Im very picky on hotels but this met my standard for a hostel.
