乔治市世纪酒店 The Century Boutique Hotel (George Town)

Stayed for 4 nights, female 4-bed dorm room
Nice room with AC and clean bathroom.
Fresh towels and small bottle of water each day.

Capsule-type bed with a privacy curtain (curtain is sheer material, so limited privacy)
Mattress is very thin and narrow.
Fleece blanket provided, which is necessary due to the thermostat being set at 22C.
A light and a small fan inside each capsule.
There are storage lockers available. Can fit a 20 inch suitcase and a backpack.
Lockers open and Lock with an electronic wristband.

There is a common shared space with a large fridge, sink, water dispenser, couches, tables and a TV.
The water dispenser is constantly broken and out of water.

Wifi available, great for digital nomads.

There is a small outside pool with showers. The pool water was murky. I swam once and had a skin rash for the next day. This needs attention. I would not recommend swimming here.

Have stayed at many shared rooms in my years of travel, but this place has to be my favourite so far. Apart from the pretty interior aesthetics, the staff here are some of the friendliest people you will meet in Penang. Special shout-out especially to Peter and Pauline who are more than happy to take care of whatever needs you would have, even if it is just a casual conversation with you while you are sitting along the common corridor. Was also lucky enough to have very friendly roommates, with whom I had a lot of funny and chill times chatting late into the night, despire my short stay there.

This hotel has everything which is needed to facilitate a relaxing and wholesome atmosphere to facilitate new friendships and stories to be shared between travellers, before we each move on the our next destination. Will definitely be back again should I find myself travelling solo in Penang in future, and hope to relive similar experiences which make solo travelling and staying shared rooms so fun in the first place, and of course to catch with Peter and Pauline again. God bless the both of them, and all the staff who made the stay so memorable

The hotel is centrally located, the room is very well soundproofed and on my route during my 7-month-long trip to Asia I finally have a really comfortable bed again. I was particularly impressed by the staff. They are very friendly and helpful. I booked two more days just because of the staff. Thank you very much for this pleasant stay and I am sure that the next time I can come to George I will come back here.

The hotel is a lovely place to stay, located in a very lively district with loads of restaurants and bars nearby. The lobby of this old colonial building is just beautiful.
I stayed in one of the basic dorm rooms but was very pleased with it. The mattress is thick enough to get a good nights sleep. The bunk has multiple power outlets (incl. USB and USB-C plugs!) a personal light and even a little fan mounted in the corner.
A fresh towel was provided daily and also a small bottle of water daily.
The 12 man dorm has 1 toilet and 2 showers en-suite which seemed sufficient. Showers had free shampoo and shower gel and very quite large.
The lockers provided were very big and locked electronically. Unlocking was done with a chip bracelet given upon check in.
The staff were all amazingly friendly and always available to give recommendations of where to go or where to eat.
I can highly recommend staying at The Century Boutique Hotel!

Nice hotel in centre of old George Town, rooms are set back off the road and was surprisingly quiet. Big lockers able to fit my 65l rucksack and cabs in suit case not problem. Key card entry. Free Bottle of water daily, towels provided, shampoo / body wash available, we had a bath and a shower in our room, water pressure was fine and shower was hot. Seating areas outside rooms. Pool available to use although no lounging chairs to sunbathe or lay round pool. Lady on reception so helpful and s need to be there all the time to offer advice on what to see and how to get there. I would recommend
