The air conditioning worked well for us, but there's an additional conditioner added that may be used, the room and the bathroom was very clean and the stay was enjoyable. The location is great as well. The storefront is finished and it's a cute little shop.

The guesthouse’s central location made exploring effortless. Major highlights like Clan Jetties, Armenian Street's iconic murals, Kimberley Street's legendary night markets, and the artsy Hin Bus Depot Weekend Market were all within easy walking distance. I loved spontaneously discovering street art and food stalls just steps away!

I had a fantastic experience at this property! The apartment was incredibly comfortable and had all the amenities you could need. The washing machine and dryer were very convenient, and the kitchen area was fully equipped with a working stove, hood,fridge, microwave, toaster and all the necessary plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery—everything in perfect condition. The apartment was spacious and well-designed, with a dedicated area to place your shoes near the entrance and a comfy couch to relax on. There was also a TV for entertainment, and the whole space was kept cool throughout the stay, thanks to the three air conditioners. The beds were large and very comfortable, and there were plenty of mirrors throughout the apartment, which gave it a nice open feel. The bathroom was spotless and well-maintained, with four towels provided, along with shampoo and shower gel. The two large beds and a spacious cupboard made the stay even more convenient. One of the highlights was the swimming pool located on the 5th floor—a great place to unwind. After booking, the host contacted me with precise directions and detailed information, which made check-in super smooth. They were incredibly helpful and always responded quickly whenever I had a question. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I felt right at home and will definitely come back again in the future. Highly recommended!

Great hostel in the midst of town. Rather quiet compared to others. Lovely staff! Talkative if you want, private if needed. They give a lot of tips in and outside Georgetown and help with anything when asked. The whole place is rather large and relaxed. Would recommend!
