Helpful happy staff. Great spot with heaps of charm in a central location. It's an older building but well updated and kept. Good aircon and wifi. Ask for a room away from Chulia st though, its really loud.

The property is located right at the heart of the city and in front of Kapitan Keling Mosque, one of the many landmarks and touristic attractions of Georgetown. The staff was very polite and helpful, and the property is very nice and has this very nice style. Our room was spacious, very comfortable and we had a very nice view from the mosque (only issue was being awakened by it at 5 AM every morning, but they had earplugs at the reception to help with that).

Good location and easy check in and check out. The third floor doesnt have a bathroom so you have to go down to the lower levels anytime you need to do something. Facilites are fine but a lot of moisquitoes

Noisy but overall pretty good

Hostel was pretty comfortable, but no provacy curtains. Really loud as opposite the mosque amd a major road, the ear plugs provided help very little, even though i realise that is not their fault. Just be aware of a 5am wake up call every morning. Showers and toilets separated and just like the pictures. Not social at all though. Overall good but depends on how heavy a sleeper you are

깔끔한 게스트하우스

아주 깔끔한 게스트하우스. 화장실 샤워실도 깔끔하고 따뜻한 물도 잘 나옵니다. 다만 침대마다 커튼이 없어서 오픈되어 있다는 것과 도로 바로 앞에 있어 밤에 소음이 약간 있다는 단점은 있네요

Could be better

The room smelled musty so I couldn’t sleep all night long. I was on the top bunk and it was dark so I fell when I tried to come down. The other occupants took the aircon remote control so it got really hot and humid at night. There were many bugs in the room and the washroom area.

Nice place

The first night I was in an 8 bed mixed dorm and it was very noisy. There is a mosque nearby and I was woken up at 5:30am and 6:30am from it. I was also able it hear noise form people walking outside of the room. The next two nights, I was in a 4 bed female dorm and it was so much better. It was very quite.

Good in George!

Great location. Heart of Georgetown. Easy to walk around or less than 2 mins to a bus stop in either direction. Street art, food, bars are all right there. Friendly staff and enough space to get some quiet time in one of several common areas. Has a TV area but I never watched anything so can’t say much on that. Was there for 7 nights and slept great every night. The prayers can be loud, but I don’t know if anywhere in the area is quiet, so buy some earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
