Pros:

部屋にパソコン用の机がなかったので、若い中国人?の男性スタッフに聞くとすぐ用意してくれたので、部屋にいる時間が快適になった。
Whasappの返信が早い。
洗濯機使い放題
炊飯器、ガスがあるので調理はできる
女性2人のスタッフの方は感じがよかった
周囲は住宅街なのでとても静かで平和

Cons:

病院が近いからか、旅行者が宿泊する場所というより、患者さん?の方が多い雰囲気で私には合わなかった。
またフロントの男性がいつもかなり感じが悪く、とても不快だった。

Superb
Pros:

I stayed at Joyful Gusesthouse for 3 nights during a recent medical visit to Island Hospital and found it to be a good option for my needs. Here’s an overview of my experience:

Location: The property is very close to Island Hospital, making it very convenient if this is the purpose of your stay. The short walking distance was a practical advantage (less than 5 minutes).

Cleanliness: The environment was clean and well-maintained, both in the rooms and shared spaces. This made for a comfortable stay. But of course, it's a guesthouse, not a hotel, so don't expect hotel facilities.

Shared Kitchen: The shared kitchen is well-equipped, allowing guests to prepare their own meals if they prefer not to eat out.

Facilities: The property has practical amenities, including an elevator and wheelchair-friendly access, which are helpful for those visiting the hospital.

Room: I stayed in the twin room (Room #3). While the space was small, it served its purpose well and had the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay.

Price: The cost of the stay was reasonable, especially considering the location and the facilities provided. It offers good value for the price.

Host: The host was friendly and efficient, always ready to help with questions or any issues that arose during my stay. I really appreciated her responsiveness at replying my messages.

Overall, this property is a practical choice for anyone visiting Island Hospital Penang or the surrounding area. It’s clean, conveniently located, and provides good value for the facilities offered. I would consider staying here again I ever need a place to stay while visiting Island Hospital Penang.

Cons:

none
