One of the best hostels I have stayed in. Great facilities throughout, a clean and welcoming hostel. Anyone wishing to spend a few days in Georgetown should consider Ryokan. The staff are wonderful too and this hostel provided the perfect place to relax and recover after the partying in Thailand.

I stayed in Ryokan for a week. It was really nice and clean. The staff was also very helpful and friendly. Apart from that, the hostel is well-located.

Stayed for 3nights in Ryonkan in Penang. Staff is very friendly and helped me a lot , rooms are clean and simple,We got fresh towels and blankets. Can definitely recommend this hostel! You must have a padlock　to lock your locker.

Everything was good. The only set back is when there is a group or young people staying in the place, where they tend to be ignorance of the other ppl staying there as well.
