Can't go wrong with this hotel, great value, excellent service

My wife and I stayed last week at Hotel Mingood, after finding it on the Internet searching for Penang Budget Hotels. As a "budget hotel" I think that the service far exceeds any other budget hotel I've stayed at in Penang, and there have been quite a few! What stands out in particular are: * Staff helpfullness and friendliness *.

Great for price paid

We stayed at Hotel Mingood for 3 nights and thought it was great value for money. The staff were very friendly and always tried to help us when they could. The rooms are basic but fine, they were always cleaned every day with new towels etc. every day. The TV had a news sports and movie channel which was good...
