“Simple Hotel and comfortable.Value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Recommended for those traveller travel with car at penang.
Room is big with clean and nice bathroom.
Pillow is small and not very comfy.I know this is not expensive hotel,but at least please give more comfort pillow to guest as pillow is one important part to make your guest happy while staying there.
Attention to the management,your bathroom water is a bit fluffy.I only shower for not more than 3 minutes then water start to reach my ankle.Hope u can fix this.
Parking lot is available.
No need to complain much as i think it's value for money we spent.

“smelly beds”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013 via mobile

we were given a 'cell' during our stay there.. there were no windows in our room. the sheets were smelly especially at the area where we rested our heads.
the toilets were clean though but you will need to bring ur own toiletries.
i wouldnt stay there if i can help it.

“Unpersonal Hotel in a strange area”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

Staff is not friendly, some rooms do not have windows and the bed sheets were not very clean although the bathroom was clean and the shower was great! The Hotel is in a strange area and you should not walk around alone there after darkness especially not as a woman! It is about 20 min walking distance from all the sights and also from the main road where all the bars are.

Room Tip: Make sure you get a room with window and non smoking althoough i had the feeling that there was smok...

“Good value for price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

A very good budget hotel, first of all I would like to say If I have a chance to visit penang in the future and if I need to saty in a budget hotel, I will choose Super 8 again. even though the hotel is not located in the heart of george town but near to komtar (strategic center in pennag), and also next to 3 Shopping Malls. Our room was clean, but not very clean, the shower and bath was very good. We had only two problems: 1. There was a strong smell of cigar smoke in the room, we tried our best to remove it with keeping the windows open and ... but ... 2. There was no slippers in the room, it was very bad at the beggining...

“Good Price, Clean room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 5, 2012

The location of the hotel is very near to Komtar and the other mall.Its a walking distance, but not recommended to walk alone at night. Local food can be found near the hotel. We stay at the double room without window and its really a nightmare for us, because of the smoking smell from the previous guest. We stay there for 3nights, from first day until last day the smell is still there even we open the door also cannot help. We ask for room changed, but too bad all the room is fully booked.
If without the smoking smell this hotel can consider good, clean and nice with the affordable price.
