Hotel Mingood

The Mingood is an older style budget hotel that we have visited several times over the years and it still has many plus points over the newer “boutique” renovations in Penang. It’s certainly not fancy but the rooms are spacious, baths now replaced by showers, good WiFi and a/c, safes and a simple breakfast are
all provided for a fair price. The staff are also very friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about their city.

Stayed here a few years ago when it was a reasonable but old hotel
Now I would not recommend to anyone
Maintenance is non existent.
Staff are all pleasant and seem resigned to the fact that the place is now a poor shadow of it's past.

The water pressure was so low, there is no bidet in the toilet. The aircond was not cold as it should be and the bed position was not in good position to get the aircond feel.

Staff was helpful and the manager had good local tips

Property needs renovation

More variety needed for breakfast

I wrote a similar review in Agoda. This hotel is soooo dirty. The sheets have black molds and the toilet was sooo slippery like it was not cleaned for a long time. Even the toilet bowl has black dirt inside. We were not able to take photo because upon checkin in, we were directed to 3rd floor, the feeling was heavy. We changed the room to first floor but again felt heavy and eerie..the faucet in the room turned on by itself! didnt stand to sit and stay more than 5minutes that we had to packup and go.

The balcony was also dirty and the front desk was not helpful.

Dog poop everywhere in the streets nearby.

Convenient location, good free breakfast with lady in charge being a mine of tourist information, super friendly staff and spacious rooms, excellent value for money

Very quiet area. Lovely staff. Room larger than expected. Nice balcony.

The room said provide bathtub but it doesn’t provide at all.

Close to public transit. The hotel on the left and on the right of Hotel Mingood are both under construction so there is quite a bit of noise. The staff are friendly, especially the lady that provides breakfast (toast with peanut butter & strawberry jelly, cereal, orange slices, coffee, orange juice, and tea). The hotel is very old and there was always a wet spot on the carpet next to the toilet door.

Good. Friendly staff. Nice location. Facilities working.

Bad hotel, 1960 style hotel, smelly rooms boring theme and worn out walls/windows/doors. Bad carpet breakfast pathetic (Only bread, butter and Jam) not recommended for anyone.

Not a place to stay.. better stay away

Old old old, very old and worn out. Room wall is a painted window . Very depressing feel to it. Staff are friendlish but hardly interactive. Hotel has no amenities or services at all. Construction site on both sides of the hotel. Perhaps 1 night stay is ok, anything longer is very uncomfortable.

Maybe I am spoiled after being in Thailand , but there is just nothing to recommend about this place. Very old and worn out rooms. Very uncomfortable room set up, tiny tv in one corner and bed in another, impossible to watch tv, in addition tv has only couple of channels and even these are unclear.breakfast is bread with tea or coffee, if you want egg and sausage pay additional 5 ringgit. Room was cleaned only once in 4 day stay.

The is an old hotel. The staff are nice. I have stayed at this hotel several times.
Even though it is an old hotel and a noisy location 90 RM was ok value. This year they are asking $150 RM. Be warned. 90 RM is reasonable for these old hotels. 150 RM is a complete rip-off.
Paying that much would be a big disappointment.

To be recognised and welcomed by staff at all levels is very pleasing!

Hotel staff is friendly. The environment is compatible with the budget.
Overall is recommended if you are looking for a budget and convenient place to stay.

It is a 1960 style hotel so! For the price totally reasonable. All you need, fridge, safe, tv with bbc/cnn, later not common in asia at 3* hotels.Bathrooms could be upgraded but everything worked. Short stroll to heritage area, less than 10 mins.

Not really worth. Not muslim friendly because the toilet got no water tap for cleaning purpose. Need to take water from the bathroom sink which is far the toilet bowl itself. Breakfast only got bread n some cereals with drinks.

Pictures speak louder than words and we left without staying here. The staff were very helpful and tried to offer us different rooms but they all smelt of stale cigarette smoke and had a lot of old stains on carpets, sheets, curtains and bathrooms. The tap in one bathroom you couldn't turn off! I'm not sure why non smoking rooms would have an ashtray in them but every room did.

First of all this is an old and tired hotel. Which we don't really mind especially with the price we paid. Unfortunately, Georgetown is becoming way too touristy and commercial that big properties are taking over once a quiet area.

Behind and next to this hotel are both building site. Yes TWO building sites that are bigger and taller than this old hotel. If you're only here to sleep and on a budget, then it's not a really bad place. They start at 8AM and finish late afternoon. They were still working at 6PM when we got back from a whole day of outing. You will still get a good night sleep but don't expect to be able to relax anytime between 8AM-6PM. If you do choose this hotel, start early and plan a whole day of going out. We asked to switch rooms but none was available. The rooftop breakfast area is closed due to the construction right next to it. It won't be done anytime soon. Not in the next couple of months anyway.

ALL the staff were friendly and polite to us (breakfast ladies, cleaners, reception-- ALL lovely people). That's the only thing that made our stay bearable. Breakfast consist of toast, cereal, fruits, coffee (coffee machine with choice of white coffee, black etc) and tea.

There is a fridge in the room, a kettle, TV, AC. Wifi connection is average. There is a lift/elevator if you have big luggage. They have parking area if you're driving. Bathroom and bedroom is old but clean and spacious. Carpet and furniture are quite old too. If you want to stay here it's up to you. It's in a good location with many places to eat and not very far from the main areas and some attractions. You can also use Grabcar easily in Georgetown.
