The Blue Diamond Hotel is in the heart of the back packers area in George Town, it is set back in it's own grounds on Chulia Street, the grounds of this hotel are the best bit, the reason for this is this where Penangs Mexican food is served they also have the Coco Island Restaurant here aswell but I didn't bother eating there.
They have communal rooms starting at about 8 Ringgit per night, have to admit I didn't have a look at them, but the idea of sharing a dormitory with several strangers wasn't one that appealed to me.
Anyway this lovely colored room was 26 Ringit per night, nope you didn't get a blanket or a sheet to cover yourself on the bed, got to admit I do like to be naked in bed but covered from mossies, but suprisingly I didn't get bitten by any.
The furniture, well the nicest thing you can say about it....... hmmm, nope can't think of anything offhand.
In room cold shower and sink, yes I did brave it, trouble is you don't get a towel or any soap, luckily I had soap but never bother taking a towel with me on my travels.
Communal toilets, yep and I even used one of them, made me feel a bit icky though.
For the money it is ok, the building and rooms are no more shabby than all the other cheap guesthouses in the area, plus the place was quiet so that helps with the old beauty sleep.
