I found it quite good and excellent value for money. The accommodation is right across from Chew Jetty, and the street opposite is packed with delicious food, including durian, char kway teow, seafood, and Mixue (an ice cream/drinks chain). It might be due to the heat, but I found all the iced drinks here to be really tasty. Be aware that at night, you might hear motorcyclists speeding, a common occurrence I've also observed in Kuala Lumpur where I am currently. The location is really good and I found it very convenient. A deposit is required, which will be refunded before check-out. The room was also very spacious. Oh, and a heads-up: remember to bring your own travel adapter. There's a convenience store right next door that's also somewhat of a hardware shop, and they sell adapters for about 7.9 MYR each.
A budget hotel in a perfect location, i just love how convenient the hotel location is where it is in the middle of every tourist attraction location, so if you feel wanna go to the toilet you can just passed by the hotel to use the hotel toilet 😂. a staff will attend you for your check in and check out which a less hassle. although it is a budget hotel they provide an android TV which offers youtube and netflix!
The Terraces by Aayu - 2 mins walk to Chulia Street is the perfect place to unwind after a day of travel or work.
The property's front desk offers service in 3 languages, including English. For extra convenience free luggage storage are available at the property as well.
Parking is available at the property.
Everything was excellent! The location is very convenient, the place is clean, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. I loved the self check-in system — very easy and smooth. Perfect for solo travelers. Highly recommended!
I had a wonderful stay at this central Penang hotel; the lobby was stunning and the room was very clean, complemented by an exceptionally friendly staff member. For future guests, it's worth noting that a thin ceiling and outside work caused some noise, which a little added insulation could fix. The shared bathroom was functional, though it could use a bit more attention to keep the floor dry. We also appreciated how easy it was to get around from this location.
No complimentary drink ( no drinking water or any other sources to get drinking water) I have been frequently booking into this hotel but this is the first time no drinking water was given. No floor mat at the bathroom door. There was a glass mug but was quite dirty, looked as though it was not cleaned for ages. I sincerely do hope management would seriously look into this.
I liked the hotel, it was nice new and clean. Though during checking in I was confused as there were no staff on registration desk. It appeared they had sent a message with all the codes and electronic locks may be opened automatically. Later I saw other confused people, who were looking and waiting for administrator. Common bathroom is fine for the Europeans. The strange thing they have holes in the floor but the stayers were calm enough and my dream was not ruined
Very Good

GGuest UserCertainly! Below is a **detailed, balanced, and constructive review template** for **Hangoutspacez Queensbay** (or a similar budget/co-living space in Penang). Since this isn’t a widely documented property, I’ll structure it generically so you can adapt it based on your actual experience.
---
### **Hangoutspacez Queensbay – Honest Review**
**Location: ★★★★☆** (4/5)
- **Pros:** Close to Queensbay Mall (5–10 min walk), easy access to restaurants, supermarkets, and public transport. Convenient for business travelers (Bayan Lepas tech zone) or tourists exploring Penang’s south.
- **Cons:** Not in the heart of tourist spots like George Town (requires Grab/taxi).
**Cleanliness: ★★★☆☆** (3.5/5)
- **Pros:** Daily cleaning for common areas; linens provided are fresh.
- **Cons:** Occasional maintenance issues (e.g., slow drain in showers, worn-out furniture). Budget vibe—don’t expect luxury.
**Facilities: ★★★☆☆** (3/5)
- **Pros:** Free WiFi (decent speed), communal kitchen, and lounge area. Good for solo travelers or digital nomads.
- **Cons:** No gym/pool; shared bathrooms can get crowded during peak hours.
**Staff & Service: ★★★★☆** (4/5)
- Friendly and helpful for local tips, but limited 24/7 front desk support.
**Value for Money: ★★★★☆** (4/5)
- Affordable for Penang (around RM50–100/night for dorms). Ideal for short stays, but may lack long-term comforts.
**Room for Improvement:**
1. **Better Soundproofing** – Noise from common areas can be heard in private rooms.
2. **More Power Outlets** – Limited charging points in dorms.
3. **Clearer House Rules** – E.g., quiet hours or kitchen cleanup policies.
**Verdict:**
A **no-frills, social budget stay** best suited for backpackers, solo travelers, or those attending nearby events. Manage expectations—it’s functional but not luxurious.
---
### **How to Use This Review Constructively:**
- **If You’re a Traveler:** Compare with alternatives (e.g., Tune Hotel, capsule hostels). Prioritize location vs. price.
- **If You’re the Property Owner:** Address cleanliness/maintenance, add clear signage for rules and maybe create any accessible lockers available to utilize the space in the efficient manner.
GGuest UserI booked 1 night hotel for accommodation. New hotel furniture and interior inside room. Clean and spacious even my room no windows. No toiletries provided but its ok for me. Tv with internet and im enjoyed watching YouTube and Netflix. Iron and board need to share upon request. Staff is polite. Next to hotel there is 24hr convenient store and thai restaurant. Walking distance 300m to mc donald, giant hypermarket and 500m to Pantai hospital. Price is affordable. Will not hesitate to come again if having business trip there.
EErul MaverickThe hotel is located in the housing area. Therefore the parking provided is limited. I've booked one queen bed n one single bed for my family. The cleanliness of the room is impressive and wonderful. However the size of the room is too small for me. It brings a problem for us to pray as we need to pray at the small space in front of the door. So, if one of us is praying then nobody can open the door.

YYapZJBooked for the first time, it was nice overall, only need small improvement in cleanliness, but the price was so cheap, requested for quiet room and had a nice sleep. Hotel owner is very nice and response very quickly if you have any problem. Very recommended!❤️
JJustin07I can say this is a classic hotel, although the building quite old but the room was good, toilet was good. Air cond was cold perfect. WiFi excellent even I stay on 8 floor still connect well, they gave me the room can see the mountain and sea perfect view for me. Price was affordable for everyone I can say, locate was near the bar, restaurant, pasar, sea view as well.
Didn't expect the room like this 👌
JJaeikThe host was friendly to provide midnight check in and room condition was clean and tidy with good air conditioning. And the location was convenient from Queensway mall.
