Sleep Box Penang

I like that it's convenient because I normally landed after midnight, the reception is open 24hrs, staff knows what they are doing and friendly. The room is sufficient and more than met my basic requirements. Comfy bed, good AC, hairdryer. If you don't mind the shared toilet then you have your own privacy in your room, capsule concept with your own personal room. It allows late check-out by the hour (there's a price list). Very good location, many cafes and restaurants and even bars all within a min walk to 5mins walk - plenty to choose from.

Over the last 1-2 years, a bar opened right next to Sleep box, so now it is much noisier at night. The bar directly next door, they have live band and it plays late into the night. Also the walls are thin so if you have noisy neighbours then it's not ideal. That being said it doesn't border me as much.

The room is clean and feels spacious enough for a single person. Shared facilities are sufficient - water cooler, iron, washing machine. Public areas smell good including the elevator. Location is very strategic and easy walk to nearest 7-eleven and Family Mart as well as the various cafes, pubs and nasi kandar restaurants. Highly recommended for short stays.

The shared bathroom is okay but may need even more frequent cleaning and monitoring. The shampoo provided in the shower smells bad and leaves hair dried out and tangled. Bedroom walls are thin but earplugs provided at the reception counter.

The location perfect and nearby to street food and city walk area.

The bed a bit soft which long term stay might not good for backbones.

The rooms were very thoughtful in terms of what they provided, and they really made the small space work for you. Aircon was quite good, even though at first thought it might not be powerful enough. Enjoyed that they had free laundry service

Was right next door to a bar and then had done some work to try and soundproof it. But on the weekends when the bar was busy it was quite loud. Also thought that the bathrooms could have done with a bit more cleaning.
