Resthub is a capsule hotel at 102 Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong in central George Town, a few minutes' walk from Komtar and 1st Avenue Mall. It has 40 capsules split across three sleeping areas, each with a single mattress, a door for privacy, a smart panel for the light and colour setting, a reading light, an LED mirror, a power point and two USB ports. Bathrooms are shared and recently renovated, and every guest gets a lockable locker, towel, slippers, toiletries, a dental kit and earplugs. There is no front desk: the property runs contactless self check-in and check-out, and the booking channels say guests should contact Resthub at least 24 hours before arrival to complete online registration and get entry instructions. The house rules are strict by design, and worth reading before you book — no eating or drinking in the capsules apart from plain water, one guest per capsule, no visitors on the guest floors, quiet after 10pm, no smoking, and no pets or durians anywhere on the premises. The hotel is cashless and takes guests aged 18 and over only, so it is not an option for families with children. Free unlimited WiFi, 24-hour air conditioning, filtered hot and cold drinking water, baggage storage in the lockers and CCTV in the common areas are included; parking is on-site but charged separately. George Town's UNESCO World Heritage streets, Armenian Street and the Komtar bus interchange are all within a short walk, which makes this a practical base if you plan to see the old town on foot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Resthub in Penang?
Resthub is at 102, Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong, 10100 George Town, Penang. It sits in the middle of George Town, within walking distance of Komtar, 1st Avenue Mall and Penang Times Square, and a short walk from the UNESCO World Heritage streets.
How does self check-in at Resthub work?
There is no front desk. Resthub's own facilities page lists contactless and express check-in and check-out, and the booking-channel instructions say you should contact the property at least 24 hours before you arrive, complete online registration through a secure link and send a copy of your photo ID in advance. You then enter through a private entrance, and a virtual front desk handles queries. If you are arriving outside normal check-in hours you need to contact the hotel beforehand for entry and lockbox instructions.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Resthub's own policies page gives check-in from 3:00pm and check-out by 11:00am, and its booking listing narrows check-in to 3:00pm–11:00pm. The same site's facilities page separately lists "24-hour check-in", so the two do not agree — if you are landing late or very early, message the property before you travel and confirm. Late check-out after 2:00pm is charged as a full extra day.
What is a capsule at Resthub like?
Each capsule has a single-size mattress with fresh linen, a pillow and a comforter, a door for privacy, a smart control panel for the lighting and colour mood, an LED reading light, an LED mirror, one power point, two USB charging ports, and a clothes hanger and hook. Only one guest is allowed per capsule.
Are the bathrooms shared?
Yes. Resthub describes newly renovated common toilets, and its booking listing lists the bathrooms as shared, shower-only, with slippers, toiletries and a hairdryer provided.
Can children stay at Resthub?
No. Resthub's own check-in policy states it can only accept guests aged 18 and above, so it is an adults-only stay.
What is included in the price of a capsule?
Unlimited high-speed WiFi, 24-hour air conditioning, a locker with a digital lock for your bags, a fresh bath towel and slippers, shampoo and shower gel, a hairdryer, a dental kit, earplugs, and filtered hot and cold drinking water. Parking is available on site but is charged as an extra.
What house rules should I know before booking?
Resthub is cashless and takes Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, JCB and UnionPay. No eating or drinking in the capsules other than plain water. No pets and no durians on the premises. Shoes off before entering the rooms. Keep noise down after 10:00pm. Non-registered guests are not allowed on the guest floors. Smoking anywhere on the premises carries a cleaning charge and is reported to the authorities.
