Church Street Inn i Penang

I had booked 2 rooms. First room (302)is condition is quite good: clean, working air-con, quite due to no window, with TV, clean toilet with shower. BUT second room (303) are not good: TV without remote control so cannot on, not working lamp so the whole trip use the only working lamp from the toilet, noisy room due to having small window which the room facing the jetty side, during night will heard horn from jetty, the room door are not good condition, need to push and pull strongly to open it, somehow need to kick it. The important is the hotel are no lift and escalator, it is NOT SUITABLE for family with old man, with children, and those having a lot laugage. The hotel service will not help you to bring up the laugage, they will just pass the sanitary items during check in. The good thins is they allowed us to check in early. (Common is on 2:00pm, but we can check in on 10:00am)

For budget planning is very good choice because the room is quite big and suitable for big family. Hotel location also very strategy. .

cheap, clean and great for few nights perfect location, both close to the seaside and Little India touristic center the best restaurant Kapetan is just in 2 min walk cheap drinks including beer the only thing is a small strange smell inside the room. it's either a smell of cleaning tools, or aid for insects (less likely), would be nice if stuff does smth about it. anyway, it's minor, 30 min of open window helped :)

I stayed in the dorm room at Church Inn Street. It was on the top floor in an inn with no elevator. The dorm room was empty. A/C's were working, fans weren't. Very basic room. A staff member sleeps in the room at night. Dorm room can not be locked and there are no lockers. Bathroom was further down the hallway. It was small, dirty, and with MANY mosquitoes. The shower did, however, have hot water which was nice. Location of the hotel is good, as it's central, and with walking distance to most places.

Insisted that our booking was not valid even though I paid in advance through here and brought the confirmation with me. They do not acknowledge this website, and we had to find another hotel after midnight. Not fun at all.
