No-Frills Budget Stay – Perfect for Street Food Lovers!

If you're looking for a cheap, well-located crash pad in the heart of Georgetown’s food paradise, Kimberley Hotel gets the job done—just don’t expect luxury. The Good: ✔ Prime Location – Right next to the night market and within walking distance to famous street food spots (e.g., Kimberley Street Koay Teow Th'ng, Lebuh Chulia hawkers). A dream for foodies! ✔ Budget-Friendly – Fair price for the convenience. You’re paying for the location, not the frills. ✔ Basic Cleanliness – Rooms are tidy enough for a short stay (no glaring hygiene issues). The Not-So-Good: ❌ Dated & Worn – Furniture feels like it’s from the early 2000s, and the decor is tired. Bring your own toiletries—the provided ones are minimal. ❌ No Real Facilities – No gym, pool, or breakfast. Just a barebones lobby and elevator. ❌ Noise Potential – Rooms are not well-insulated and therefore, can hear noises periodically from outside the room. Final Verdict: A decent budget option if you just need a clean bed and a great food crawl outside your door. Not for those seeking comfort or style—but for street food pilgrims, it’s a practical pick. Book just for sleeping—spend your time (and money) eating through Georgetown instead! 🍜🍢 #penang #penangtrip #malaysia #travel #kimberleyhotel
