Time Capsule Hotel

Time 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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
