Still a good budget choice for Penang

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.

Very run down,will never go back .

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.

バスタブ付きホテルとしてコスパが良い

二度目の滞在ですが、バスタブが気に入ってます。 お湯が出なかったので文句言うとすぐ対応してくれました。 朝食は屋上階で簡単な、コンティネンタルスタイルです。 無料で自転車を貸してくれましたが、 長期滞在した日本人が置いて行ったものだそうです。

Okay just for a night

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.

Dated hotel near the CAT free bus stop #8

Check-in was pretty fast. The hotel was a bit old but its ok Counter staff was friendly but they do not seem to know about the CAT free bus. Some have never heard of it, but the senior staff told me to walk to the nearest stop #11. But I have checked on the Net and it says stop #8, but the staff said the bus there does not go the full loop, which we later found out to be untrue!

Fantastic value for money accommodation

If you come here acknowledging and accepting that this hotel hasn't undergone much upgrading since its 1980s heyday, and if you are an individual who really just requires that the basics are met with no glitz, then you will have a very pleasant stay here. Actually, this hotel performs better than some other hotels nearby whilst being around 30% cheaper. The free Wi-Fi was good enough to allow uninterrupted live streaming of online movies. The TV had English language channels with a good signal. The room was spacious (though dated). The bed was comfortable. The aircon functioned well enough. The breakfast was better than you'd imagine for this price-range. The staff, super friendly and helpful.

コスパ高いホテルです

建物は古いし、設備も決して良い状態とは言えませんが、スタッフの対応がとても素晴らしかったです。 みんなとてもフレンドリー！ 無料の朝食が付いていて、メニューはパン、飲み物、フルーツだけとシンプルですが、宿泊代を考えたら相応だと思います。 部屋の中でゆっくり滞在するというのには向かないホテルですが、日中は外出、夜は寝るだけと割り切れば、こんなにコストパフォーマンスに優れたホテルはないと思います。 また機会があれば、宿泊したいと思います。
