The place was incredibly cozy. The owners are amazing - give you a map that shows all the local places when you check in. They even lent me a bamboo mat for the beach!
The place is also spotless - they take great care of it. Air conditioning and TV both worked very well.
A 5 minute slow walk from the beach, and there is a supermarket literally 5 meters from the front door.
It's not a 5 star hotel, but if you want to spend most of your time exploring the beach and having fun and not in your room, I would highly recommend this place!

This place is a fantastic value. Spacious and very clean rooms located right across from major hotels. Walking distance to restaurants and beach. Has an on-site Turkish restaurant with good food. Nearby excellent laundromat. Can be noisy sometimes due to echo-y hallways and inconsiderate guests. Major downside is location is far from Georgetown and urban Penang sights and you can’t really swim at the beach. Would also be much improved if they put an electric kettle in each room — the communal water dispenser was hard to work for hot water. Overall, though, we really appreciated this hotel and would stay here again!

Extremely clean. Owner had a pack giving details of the area and island ready for all guests e. g. location of pharmacy, bus routes, places of interest, atm's... It had an infinite supply of hot and cold drinking water. Very helpful and friendly staff.
Also, a good location for the beach and a bus stop right outside.
Can't think of anything negative to say.

Very clean, very friendly
They were so friendly and helpful! They take extremely good care of the place, cleaning out the AC, painting the corners of where the wall meets the floor that most people don’t pay attention to. It’s very clean and it’s also a short walk to the beach.
Actually the crown of my tooth fell out while I was there and they suggested a dentist, I went and the dentist was amazing!
Thank you so much for a nice stay and for going out of your way to help me!

Pleasant stay; superb value for money.
Mr Chan the owner was very courteous and helpful at check in. Everything was working perfectly in the room for three adults that I stayed in. It was very clean, including the bathroom. For the price I paid it was excellent value for money.

Rasa motel bagus!
Li and Chan, the owner/managers are extremely helpful and cheerful hosts. Made me feel at home right from the word go. The room was neat and very clean. Everything worked. Location is a bit of a hike from jetty but in a good area nonetheless. Hire a scooter and explore the island with Batu Ferringi as your base. Excellent stay at Rasa motel. Will stay Herr again when I come back to Penang.

I really enjoyed my stay at Rasa Motel. It's a budget hotel so the furnishings are simple but It was exceptionally clean & comfortable. The owners were very nice & helpful when I had questions. They also sell the cheapest beer on the beach! I had laundry done while I was there & it was affordable & done the same day. Location is prime, only a 100 m from the start of the night market and the beach. There's also plenty of food options within a few minutes walk. This was a great bargain & I would stay here again.
