With prices of RM80 available on most booking sites (although oddly enough not their own site), this is a steal. If you are looking for ultra modern, or the comfort level of western hotels, you won't find it here. However if you are looking for a clean room, a cold air conditioner, a refrigerator, a friendly staff, free wifi, and... more

We stayed at the Hotel Mingood for 6 nights (still here in fact as this is our last night!) We booked the hotel due to the great reviews on this site and have to agree that this is a great find! We booked a twin room with a balcony which looks out over the street at the front of the... more

First of all the thing we noticed when we arrived was that the staff were really helpful and friendly. As soon as we arrived we were given a map of Georgetown and the receptionist highlighted places of interest and locations of banks, bus stops etc, he also gave us a printed list of buses to points of interest which came... more

We can relate to most of the reviews written. We found the Mingood's rooms to be very spacious, but disappointed to see the bedspread was stained and faded & towels on the "thin"side. On the whole though, the room had good airconditioning, fridge, TV, bath and hot shower. Breakfast was simple but adequate for us. You get what you pay... more

A great location, very clean and large rooms, but dated. Will be nice in a few years, when retro comes back in. Staff were wonderful, especially the older lady, we were given a map on arrival and tips on food places and sights every time we saw her. All in all, a great budget option, walking distance from everything! more

we were backpackers and looking for cheap accomodation which was nice and found it here. We had a large room which was clean with our own bathroom. It is about a 15 minute walk from the centre of town. The staff at the desk are really nice and as helpful as possible. I ased where the nearest post box was... more

We booked a flight/hotel package through FireFly having first read some reviews about it. The Hotel Mingood was just what we were looking for: cheap, big clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, and a great location. You can walk to the historical/heritage sites, many restaurants and night venues, and there's now a free CAT bus that runs around town... more

From the bus station in Penang (which is just a couple of minutes from the bridge from mainland Malaysia) it was no trouble getting a cab to our hotel as there were a load of drivers calling out at us to give us a ride. It took about 15 minutes from here to get to Hotel Mingood which is in... more

The Mingood is on the other side of Penang Road to the backpacker area which means it is a little quieter. Rooms are basic but a good size with air-con, a small fridge and TV with 4 satellite channels, mostly sport. All cable channels are upstairs in the restaurant/bar area, but we didn't see it open in the week we... more

We really had a great choice. I'm thankful I decided to book this hostel because of the nice reviews. Indeed, the hotel room and bathroom are really nice, comfortable and clean. The double room was big. The location is also good. The hotel staff are very helpful. They will suggest most economical way to visit places you want to see.... more
