Pleasant staff, good mattress, free wifi, breakfast, tea and coffee included in the price for 28 MYR per night for the dormitory. Only 4 beds per dormitory. No shoes worn upstairs to keep the noise down. Bathrooms were clean and plenty of hot water. Breakfast starts at 8.30 and you need to get there reasonably early otherwise all the food... More

Saw two rats in two days. Room next to mine had been painted and my room was filled with fumes. Noise in the middle if night with drunk people in the corridor. Now they have increased the price!! Unbelievable. Front desk inefficient with poor communication as with the other red hotels.

We stayed at Red inn heritage in single room and double rooms. All rooms were clean with comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean enough. You have some options for breakfast which was quite good. Besides, you can visit many places within walking distance.

We arrived at the Red Inn Heritage, which we had pre booked several months in advance, to find that the room with bathroom that we had booked had been given to someone else. All they could offer us was a room with a shower. The WC was down the corridor somewhere. It was late and we were tired so decided... More

Like most of the budget hotels in Penang, it's an old shop which has been converted to a hotel and given the heritage title.As the building was never meant for a hotel it has its set of problems. The rooms have very thin wall as they are made of plywood. U can hear movements from next room, the wooden floor... More

There are a few hostels in the Red Inn range. I'm rating the Red Inn Heritage Hostel right next to the Reggae Hostel on Love Lane. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm for 27RM. The pros: they have air con, there's a tv and DVD collection, price includes breakfast (fried egg, sausage, 2 pieces of toast, and tea or... More

For the price, service, location and facilities, I am loving it. Stayed in a family room of 3 beds. The bed is premium and some of the shared shower room is almost 5 stars. No complains but the only problem I can find is the partition separating the rooms are very thin. I can even hear my next door packing... More

I've seen a few reviews whereby people complain about the fact that this place is filled with backpackers and isn't suitable for families etc. These people probably go to a steak house and complain that it isn't suitable for vegetarians! Anyone with any sense, or the sense to do their research would soon realise that this place is primarily catering... More

Yesterday I went to stay for a night, when I checked in, there is small renovation work doing at certain area and repair works are on going. When I bath, the volume of the water is uncertain and cause me have to use more time to bath. I hope you can improve at this point.
