Time Capsule Hotel PenangTime Capsule Hotel Penang (6 July 2015)


Time Capsule Hotel (GPS: 5.419575, 100.333876) is a capsule hotel in George Town, Penang. This is perhaps the first ever capsule hotel in the city. Time Capsule Hotel is located along Chulia Street. It occupies the five-storey Wisma Sri Wani which has been renovated for the hotel. It holds the distinction of running the first capsule hotel in the country, and is also the equipment provider for interested parties intending to establish capsule hotels elsewhere in Malaysia.

At time of writing, the hotel has some eighty rooms on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor, with the top floor still undergoing refurbishment. There is also a Female Only floor exclusive for woman travellers. The ground floor houses Little Nap Coffee Bar.

I visited Time Capsule Hotel on 6 July 2015 and was given a tour of its facilities. The first place we visited was the shoerack, where guests change from the outside shoes into sandals.

Time Capsule Hotel offers communal bathrooms, segregated between men and women, which are as plush as that in any upscale establishments. Each guest is provided a luggage-size locker to store their belongings. Upon checking in, guests are given a carrier bag containing toiletries, headphone and other sundry items. These they are to return when checking out, but the carrier bag is theirs for keeps.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
