I had a good stay at Tido's. Highlights have definitely been the easy-going reception staff as well the lovely common area on the top floor. I would recommend anyone visiting Penang to stay here. It's centrally located and has a 24 hour reception. The staff are accommodating and the area itself is convenient. The only wish for improvement is for the toilets and bathrooms to be cleaned daily. But in general the hostel is well kept :)

The receptionist was not polite, she took my money for the city tax and charge me per day per stay and I booked for two nights so I paid her upon checked in. After check-in about 1 hour later I did not like the hotel so I want to check out then I ask for my city tax to be refunded for the second cost as I will not stay for tomorrow. She did not want to give back to me the money. And I get two bottles of water per day for my room and I already paid for my two nights stay and they told no not refundable so I said fine. Then I ask to give me my two bottles of water in advance for my second-night stay water. She refused to give me water which I already paid for it. This hotel is horrible and the bed is dirty and some hair around the pillow and room is dusty, and some part is falling apart in the room and curtain is not working properly.

Room and bed is Clean. Sells beer at reception at decent price. Common area upstairs has power plugs so you could work. Bathroom heaters could use some maintenance. Underbed storage is a nice idea.

I booked coz of the good comments but after stay 3nights that’s nightmare about the toilet, really disappointed. I definitely NOT recommend to others

Terrible wifi and uncleanliness

Absolutely terrible. Terrible wifi between 0.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps constantly disconnecting. Also, Bed bugs were found in my bed the first night I got there. They moved me to a different room after I told the staff and they washed my clothes. The bathroom on the third floor has very bad shower pressure and the shower handle is broken. The water heater was also not working.

More than just for Tido.

Location is really good. It’s at the heart of good food and walking distance to Komtar where the bus terminal is. Getting around is super easy. The Indian Male staff (I forgot to ask for his name) is really friendly and awesome. Recommended me a good local food stall too and gave a landmark to find my way at ease. Clean and comfortable for a good night sleep after a long day. There’s a lounge at level 5 where you can lepak and chill. There are books, TV, movies available too.

Stylish and Comfy, But Poor Security

Very comfortable, spacious beds and shared dorm rooms with modern touches. One of the sleekest hostel rooms I've stayed in, by far! I appreciated that the floor had four bathrooms/showers as well (with the best water pressure I've experienced in any hotel/hostel!). The big downside was security. The front door doesn't lock, and there's a separate open door to the outside near the bottom of the stairs that lead directly to the rooms. Three girls in my room had things stolen one night/morning, and unfortunately it wasn't a huge surprise. There's a currently a very clear risk that someone could just walk in from outside and steal things. Always lock the shared room door, and never leave your belongings/valuables out--always take them with you or lock them up in the drawer provided!

Lift faulty

Although I have book 1 nite stay at the hotel, but I did not manage to stay there. My wife do not like the Bathroom is outside of the hotel room as I did not informed her that there is no bathroom inside the hotel room. So I have to check out immediately as my wife do not like the room. Another issue for the hotel is that there is only 1 left and it is out of order. Me and my wife have to carry our luggage walking up the stairs to the 5th Floor. No one is helping us with all our luggage.

Suitable hostel especially for backpackers. The room was very clean but they should improve their room smells because some foreigners bringing their shoe inside the room. They also should clean their toilet regularly and open more toilet to avoid people waiting. After all, I'm very enjoy my holiday while staying at your hostel.

旅行者としては部屋でWi-Fiが使えないのが、辛い。一応たまに繋がるが、繋がってもかなり遅い。五階に冷蔵庫や食器共用のラウンジがある。交差点のはす向かいにコンビニ。ホテルで自転車が借りれる。バタワースからつく港からは徒歩20〜30分

Décevant

Propreté dans les salles de bains et toilettes laissait à désirer + petit déjeuner scandaleux (les quelques trucs à manger étaient recouverts de fourmis, la vaisselle etait super sale) et connexion internet ne marchait pas. La deuxième nuit, toutes les toilettes de l'étage (4) étaient bouchées et super sales, elles n'ont été nettoyées que plus de 24h plus tard. Grosse blague, surtout pour le prix que cela nous a coûté (une chambre double, 25usd / nuit avec salle de bains communes).

海外旅行すら不慣れな私が初めてホステルを利用しましたが、設備もベッドもとてもきれいでした。勉強中な拙い英語も丁寧に聞いて下さり、理解に時間がかかっても嫌な顔せず気さくに接してくれました。近くにコンビニもあるので、消耗品はそこで調達できるのが有難いです。次訪れる際はぜひまた利用させて頂きたいと思います。

Great hostel, in a good location.

This is a great little hostel, located within walking distance of the hustle and bustle of Georgetown. The room (double) was clean and was quiet despite being set back from a main road. I have to say the included breakfast wasn't that amazing (cup of tea and a piece of toast) but the kitchen area/relaxation area is well set out with a nice view of the streets below. For breakfast just head 30 seconds down the road for local Roti Canai, so good and rammed with locals, only 7RM. The hotel was clean with friendly staff. Good Wifi too. I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Penang.
