This was my first time staying in a hostel, and honestly, Some Place Else exceeded every expectation—it was even better than staying at a hotel. The entire space is modern, clean, and clearly designed with love and attention to detail.
As a solo traveler, I often feel a bit lonely on the road, but that wasn’t the case here. The hostel offers social activities every night, making it super easy to meet people. I made friends by my second night! It’s truly a great place to connect with other travelers from all over the world.
The beds were comfortable and spotless, with great lighting and excellent air quality. Bathrooms and showers are ALWAYS clean, with hot and cold water available around the clock. Despite the social atmosphere, the vibe was calm and relaxing when you needed downtime. I especially loved the co-working space, kitchen and rooftop—perfect spots to unwind alone or hang out with new friends.
The location is also ideal, right in the heart of Georgetown. I’m already planning to come back just to stay here again. Can’t recommend it enough—Some Place Else is a gem!

My room was clean, large and with a private balcony and bathroom. The night guard, Mohammed, was friendly and made me feel welcome and safe when I arrived at night. This is like a hostel for adults. Quiet and decent.
Amazing hostel! Super clean, no bunk beds so very comfortable, a laid back environment that allowed you so socialize so much with the other girls at the hostel. MK, the owner, was so friendly I really felt like at home. Air con in the bedroom, towels and comfortable beds. I can’t say anything negative, it was a 10/10!
Great location - you can stroll all through the heritage zone. Beautifully decorated heritage property. Very helpful front desk staff. Very good airconditioning and fan in room. Good sized in-room safe. Nice hot shower and fluffy white towels.
We stayed in the twin room - literally just bunk beds, with blankets (very itchy) and a night stand. Bathroom was stairs, along with cold and hot water available 24/7. There was security overnight which was a nice feeling. We kept our shoes in our room as I read reviews about people’s being stolen but we didn’t feel unsafe here. Great location, not far from Little India with the best food!
I love all about this hotel! the staff is so helpful and the room itself is better than I thought it would be. My room is a bunk bed room yet it is so comfy. I would love to come back to this hotel again whenever I'm in Penang. And the price is actually affordable and I can say it is cheap because everything is only a walking distance. The interior of this hotel is beautiful and the safety is superb too! Thankyou Kooning!!
The hostel was in a great location. Good size room and beds. Security lockers for each bed and a key for the front door so it felt very safe. The lobby in the hostel is nice and there is free cold drinking water available. Not bad for a short cheap stay!
