I had a decent time at Ag Hotel Penang, with cozy and clean rooms that provided a quiet environment. The location was alright, with food options and a bus stop nearby, but it wasn’t super close to attractions. The staff was friendly, but they could’ve been more knowledgeable about local attractions. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly option, but there are some downsides.
