  Wont book this again even if it is Cheap as Chips

  Filthy, dirty rooms and toilets not to be mentioned.Barely any privacy. There are only one concrete wall on one side and a cock sheet on 3 others sitesAnd you got sewerage plumbing running everywhere.You can hear people flushing toilets all night if you rooms next to (Most of them ) the dorm shared toilets and shower.Whole room lights up when the toilet lights is switched on.Breakfast! go down the road. $2 street breakfast (local) is way better than what they provide for an example.TV does not work either.Enough said, if you want to find more, you can stay there and write an Essay later

  Pearl of the Orient

  25 Dec 2019

  Trip Advisor review By GC ONGHeritage Sixteen Guesthouse, PenangTitle : Pearl of the OrientThis is my first experience staying in a Guesthouse in Penang. I am so glad I picked a reasonably good one.Heritage Sixteen is ideally located at 16 Carnarvon Street, lots of eatery joints. Street food and beer outlets.The rooms are well kept and tidy compared to several others down the road which is a horror and a nightmare for the excellent review that they had.I must say that the street food at Carnarvon Street is below par. In spite of the long queues that you are witnessing it's rather misleading. That's the way it is. Aha aha! Let your palate do the talking. If course there are lovely street food in Penang. The front office is a nice lady called Ms Jelly, affable and helpful.The breakfast spread is rather spartan. Mediocre drinks and absence of fruits. Acceptable but very basic. Toilet facilities are ample and clean. Accommodation cost at RM70-80 for twin sharing is reasonable comparatively.Cheers! GC ONG (Malaysia)

  Excellent Jelly!

  13 Dec 2019

  This is a very nice place in a super location for Love Lane and other great attractions in Georgetown. The pod/dorm bed was very comfortable, the wifi fast, and the breakfast fine. Jelly the receptionist was very friendly with a lovely smile. She also printed out my flight tickets which i greatly appreciate. Wonderful budget option in Penang. Thanks!!

  Strategic budget stay

  12 Sept 2019

  Heritage Sixteen is an ideal place to meet and connect with travellers, visitors and helpers from around the world. Perfect location in the old Georgetown. Friendly owners and staff, good WiFi and facilities.Great air conditioners in the rooms. I'll give a bonus point for the provided curtains. Really nice simple breakfast. Very excellent location, as surrounded by plenty of famous restaurants and cafes, and strategic as near to point of historical interests.The only drawback I had was their very small toilets and shower rooms are located outside the dorm unit.

  Shelter, but no Joy.

  02 Feb 2019

  The staff here are polite, but thats where it stops. Not at all welcoming, and even less hospitable. The mood here is, frankly, depressing, so much so that I noticed the other guests walked around on tiptoe and conversed in whispers. Occasionally they played some tasteful music in the lobby, which brightened up the mood, but most the time it was silent. Primarily a hostel, but with a few budget private rooms, the property is located on Carnarvon street, half a block from Chulia. The location is prime, right in the geographic centre of the historic part of the city. A short walk from from hundreds of restaurants, pubs and stores. Two blocks from the free CAT bus stop, two minutes to the stop on the corner at Chulia, and a five ringgit grab ride from the ferry dock at the Weld pier. My room, on the second floor, was not overly clean, and neither was the ensuite shower/WC, which was borderline unacceptable. The bed, not very comfortable, took up most of the room. There was room for a desk and chair, but the only other furniture was an ugly mirror cum bedside stand, an uncomfortable stool and an IKEA style drawer set for clothing, but nothing else. Housekeeping here appears to be be pretty lax, with overflowing ashtrays and trash receptacles throughout the public areas. The A/C worked well, although the wifi was very slow, with frequent “brownouts”, even in the lobby. Breakfast was included in my rate, every day the same: Instant coffee/tea, chocolate sugar cereal, DIY toast and jam, and cold rubbery scrambled eggs. Pretty much the priciest, and least pleasing, of all my stays during a month in Malaysia. I’m sure there are better options in Georgetown, within a couple of blocks of this location. There is no shortage of competition in the neighbourhood.
