The breakfasts were fabulous, varied each morning from sausages to beans to eggs with toast. The hostel had a hotel vibe to it especially on the landing upstairs. The showers are great. The beds ok but very hard and the pillows were extremely hard I honestly don’t know how people use them, I had to buy my own softer one.

Absolutely terrible WiFi. The dorms are very cramped. The WiFi in the lounge is very slow. Between 0.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps. The bathrooms are clean and the breakfast is good.

Still ok but soundproofing is not
This is my second time to stay this hostel overnight and seems everything are still good as usual. Despite being in a more quiet room on the ground floor the only problem I face is the sound proofing; by the time I am about to rest I can hear a very loud laughing and conversation outside, maybe on the bar area. Also, can hear those walking on upstairs which may disturb light sleepers. But the rest, facilities and free breakfast (though got limited choices) are still ok.

Good Location
Good location to a lot of the historical places. Toilet okay but lack of soap. Top floor is a bit noisy when people walk hard. Other than that, it is okay.

A fantastic hostel in great location.
I booked to stay at Ryokan Muntri Boutique Hostel based on the positive reviews I had read online. There were a number of mentions about Mac, one of the staff who works on reception, and how welcoming and informative he is. These were so true as on my welcome to the hostel, around 10.30pm, Mac gave an extremely warm welcome after I'd endured a long trip to George Town. The hostel itself is very clean, comfortable and the design and decor is very cool. The breakfast far beat expectations with a buffet every morning including toast, eggs, sausages, beans, noodles, curry, a great way to start off your day. The rooms are clean, comfortable and the air con is good. The shared bathrooms are also very good with powerful hot showers. Location could not be better as you are right in the heart of the old heritage city of George Town, and the famous Love Lane (full of cafes, bars and restaurants) is only a 2 minute walk from the hostel door. I cannot recommend this hostel enough and will certainly be staying here again on my return to George Town.

Clean hostel, Powerful showers
My room was located next to the toilets & showers so sometimes there was a bad smell in the room. Also, the air con was a bit hit & miss, either too hot or too cold - no happy medium. But the hostel was kept very clean & only a 10 min walk to the nearest 7/11. Not much of a social scene while I was there.

Nice clean hostel with friendly staff especially two men at the dining area and ladies at the reception with their assistance in the area.The breakfast was good.If anyone who enjoys nice and quiet place to rest when you need it without any much of social communication then this is the right for you.The dining area is clean.The area for taking a break was somewhat lacking even the walking hall was adequate for walking but still narrow.The bathrooms shower head was good but hot water was extremely hot.The knob turned all around which was unusual and can boil someone.There was no "how to use hot water properly"sign or any kind that caused a waste of hot water.The man at the reception was more concentrate on his work on computer than the help from his customer at the hostel.Location of the hostel was good.Free shutter bus was nearby and helpful within certain Georgetown area.Restaurants and shops are easy to reach.

I was there for only 2 night. At first the AC doesnt work, the TV also doesnt work. But the staff was very helpful and acting fast. The breakfast was limited, but it was tasteful, really nice.

The condition of this hostel is really good. The major downside is lack of real connection with staff. The guys at the reception are not very communicative, appear to be cold and with no real drive to help! A part of it might be not well language skills however you can still smile without them ;-)
