    I recently stayed at Tido Penang for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing great suggestions on restaurants and getting around. The double room was clean and comfortable, and I loved the unique design of the hostel. The lounge on the 5th floor was a standout feature, with a large TV, games, free coffee, and a beautiful view. The bathrooms were well-maintained and had convenient storage options. Tido Penang provided a secure and enjoyable stay.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    We had a great stay at Tido Penang. The staff were amazing, welcoming, and caring. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the public areas in the hostel were well-equipped and functional. We appreciated having separate bathrooms with enough toilets and showers on each floor. Unlike other hostels, there was no need to share shower spaces.

    We recently stayed at a family, friendly hostel in Penang and had a great experience. the location was ideal, with a bustling street nearby and plenty of attractions within walking distance. Our room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds that allowed us to sleep soundly. the bathrooms were well, maintained and offered all the necessary amenities. the service was top, notch, with helpful and friendly staff always ready to assist. As for breakfast, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the food provided. the hostel offered a shared lounge area where we could relax and unwind after a long day of exploring.

    The WiFi connection was not very reliable and frequently dropped signal.

    The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we finally found pillows that provided a good night's sleep. the bedrooms were spotlessly clean, and we appreciated having our own lockers with key, ensuring the safety of our belongings. the lounge on the top floor was a great addition, offering a spacious environment to relax, do some work, or simply unwind. We loved the bar-style seating and the comfortable couches, providing both comfort and functionality. having a computer, books, games, and other amenities available made our stay even more enjoyable. the staff were friendly and helpful, with some sharing excellent recommendations for local dining spots. Tido Penang exceeded our expectations with its organization, cleanliness, and the provision of all the necessary facilities and comforts. Cons: Honestly, there wasn't anything not to like about our stay at Tido Penang! 😊.

    The staff was friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The hostel was newly opened, so everything was brand-new and in immaculate condition. The facilities were great, with comfortable beds and spacious rooms. The location was also fantastic, with plenty of restaurants, attractions, and even the sea within walking distance. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Tido Penang for a nice stay.

    I recently stayed at Tido Hostel for 4 days and enjoyed every moment. The 8 bed dorm was incredibly spacious with comfortable beds, perfect for a good night's sleep. The hostel offers a standard breakfast of bread, along with free water and tea/coffee all day. The location is great, and the highlight was definitely the top floor hangout area with its cozy seating and entertainment options like TV and books. Tido Hostel provided a pleasant and convenient experience.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hostel seems to be quite convenient, with a comfortable bed and bright rooms. The air conditioning is also good and provides a pleasant stay for guests. Additionally, the lounge area is a highlight, with comfortable seating and amenities like water and a fridge for personal use.

    The hostel seems to have issues with the wifi connection, which can be quite frustrating for guests who want to stay connected to their family or read online.

    The room was comfortable, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed. the firm mattresses and fluffy pillows ensured a good night's sleep, and the blackout curtains helped us rest undisturbed. the air conditioning was efficient in cooling down the room quickly. the common room facilities on the 5th floor were excellent, with a water dispenser and refrigerator making things convenient. It was a spacious and nicely decorated area. The location was perfect, right in the middle of the city, and we found ample street parking. Cons: It was all superb! 😊.
