Still a good budget choice for Penang
The Mingood is an older style budget hotel that we have visited several times over the years and it still has many plus points over the newer “boutique” renovations in Penang. It’s certainly not fancy but the rooms are spacious, baths now replaced by showers, good WiFi and a/c, safes and a simple breakfast are all provided for a fair price. The staff are also very friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about their city.

Stayed here a few years ago when it was a reasonable but old hotel Now I would not recommend to anyone Maintenance is non existent. Staff are all pleasant and seem resigned to the fact that the place is now a poor shadow of it's past.

Okay just for a night
Close to public transit. The hotel on the left and on the right of Hotel Mingood are both under construction so there is quite a bit of noise. The staff are friendly, especially the lady that provides breakfast (toast with peanut butter & strawberry jelly, cereal, orange slices, coffee, orange juice, and tea). The hotel is very old and there was always a wet spot on the carpet next to the toilet door.

Dated hotel near the CAT free bus stop #8
Check-in was pretty fast. The hotel was a bit old but its ok Counter staff was friendly but they do not seem to know about the CAT free bus. Some have never heard of it, but the senior staff told me to walk to the nearest stop #11. But I have checked on the Net and it says stop #8, but the staff said the bus there does not go the full loop, which we later found out to be untrue!

Fantastic value for money accommodation
If you come here acknowledging and accepting that this hotel hasn't undergone much upgrading since its 1980s heyday, and if you are an individual who really just requires that the basics are met with no glitz, then you will have a very pleasant stay here. Actually, this hotel performs better than some other hotels nearby whilst being around 30% cheaper. The free Wi-Fi was good enough to allow uninterrupted live streaming of online movies. The TV had English language channels with a good signal. The room was spacious (though dated). The bed was comfortable. The aircon functioned well enough. The breakfast was better than you'd imagine for this price-range. The staff, super friendly and helpful.

I reserve a nonsmoking room. the staff put me in a smoking room with windows that couldn't close in the bathroom. since outside is over 100 degree, the bathroom is hot and mosquito flew in. The blanket is dirty and the air condition is slow. I got irate from the mosquito bites and couldn't have a good sleep. Most of the staffs are Indians. Breakfast is crappy with only slices of bread and cereals.

value for money
For a budget hotel, the rate we paid is value for money. There were English TV programmes, and the staff spoke English and were very helpful. We especially like to mention a staff, Desmond. He went out of his way to make our stay a pleasant experience. However, there was an exception. When there was absolutely no water at all coming from the shower head and we asked for a change of room, we were told by a certain staff (on midnight shift) that we must understand that we are in a budget hotel. This is rude and unacceptable. Budget means basic and clean but it does not mean we have to accept faulty amenities.
