He even prepared me a tea in the morning, explained how to explore George Town in a day (coz I was there for one day only), even help me sorted with my lost baggage issues. Would stay more days in the future trip to Penang."

"The hostel is clean and the rooms are spacious. The staff are fantastic, always very helpful and kind. The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Komtar station. Right in front of the hostel there is a restaurant where you can eat one of the best nasi kandar dishes. The price of the hostel is very affordable. I highly recommend it, and if I ever come back to George Town, I would definitely stay here again. "

"I had a good stay at Tido's. Highlights have definitely been the easy-going reception staff as well the lovely common area on the top floor. I would recommend anyone visiting Penang to stay here. It's centrally located and has a 24 hour reception. The staff are accommodating and the area itself is convenient. The only wish for improvement is for the toilets and bathrooms to be cleaned daily. But in general the hostel is well kept :)"
