It is new and I got a pretty spacious room at a very good price. The owner who I chatted with and the manager were friendly. Though we shared bathrooms there were five of them on the floor, so it is OK. The location is also very good; the hotel is near Chew Getty and Komtar Bus Terminal.

I was a bit weary booking this place because the reviews seemed too good to be true but this was one of my favourite hostels in SE Asia and my favourite in Malaysia by far. I was so content and comfortable here that I extended my stay by another two nights. The free laundry, the steamer, and the changing room are all such wonderful touches for a girls dorm. CP is amazing and very accommodating, always wanting to help. All of this creates a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which is social but not disruptive. I met lovely people and made some amazing friends. I would definitely stay here again, it’s exactly the way a hostel/dorm should be done!!

Absolutely everything! The place was new, clean, lovely finishings and great lighting. The air conditioning worked well. They offered free coffee and snacks every day for guests. They allowed early check in when our room was ready and all the staff were so lovely. We actually moved from a previous accomodation that was terrible and we were so happy when we arrived to Amore Stay. Fantastic location, wonderful owners. Would definitely stay again!

Rooms very clean and modern, entire property has been renovated recently I would think and to a high standard. It has shared bathrooms but honestly there are so many that it feels like you have a private bathroom. Cleaned daily (toilets and common areas). Aircon is new and very strong, never need to worry about being too hot. The location is perfectly situated, buses run right outside if you need to reach any activities (Penang Hill or Park) and there are many restaurants/bars within a 3 minute walk. The guys working here were super nice, always on WhatsApp with updates, recommendations, etc. It was such a good location that we extended and additional 3 days.

The location is perfect. Near kapitan keling mosque, town hall and armenian street. You can find those places by walking. I love the hospitality, we got a WA message about door and room access before check-in and helpful staff. The space is enough for 2 people. You can refill your bottle from water dispenser and place your food or drink into refrigerator in pantry area. You will get free bread as well in living area.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
