Great location but windowless and noisy. Only suitable for a short stay.
Pros:

Great location. Room equipped with convenient power points, ample storage, hairdryer, and a shower bag to use in the shared bathroom. Shower rooms are big and relatively clean. Filtered water available for free. Service is OK.

Cons:

As the other reviews mention, there is a bar next door that plays loud music past 12am, so not suitable if you're a light sleeper. Also, the place is called Sleepbox, because that's what it feels like - you're stuck in a box in a windowless room. Though the place does try to make it feel comfy with little touches, I wouldn't stay here for more than 2-3 nights otherwise you'll suffer from a mental illness. Stay is OK, but not worth the price.

Fantastisch
Pros:

Hele fijne kamer, bed was top. Goede douches en super locatie

Cons:

Voor mij was n het prima maar de wanden zijn dun en er zit een kroeg met live muziek naast. Voor de vroege en lichte slapers wel een ding

Pros:

Bella stanza quadrupla al quarto piano. Al quarto piano ci sono soltanto due stanze quindi nonostante il bagno fosse in comune, sembrava quasi di averlo privato. Le stanze sono pulite. Il bagno degli altri piani è veramente bello e ben costruito, con anche zona laundry, molto apprezzata, mentre quello dell’ultimo piano diciamo un po’ arrabattato, ma comunque non mancava nulla. Posizione ottima, super centrale a Georgetown. Molto gentile il personale della reception.

Pros:

Sleepbox staff were extremely friendly, always smiling when I entered/exited the lobby. Amenities were free to grab whenever you needed them, with water coolers on each floor so it's easy to refill as I'm coming in and out. The aircon works fast and the wifi was good. Whilst I do agree there was music from the neighbouring club, it stopped around midnight so it didn't bother me. Bathrooms felt safe to use even though the sinks are mixed genders. The women's section has a curtain for separation and I didn't feel worried. It was easy to find food around in all directions. Thank you for the lovely stay! I would definitely come back.

Personnel super gentil, serviable, bonne situation.
Pros:

Le calme Malgré le bar à côté cela ne m’a pas dérangé

Cons:

Si je dois avoir un point négatif c’est les toilettes et douches qui ne sont pas dans la chambre mais ça on le sait dès la resa donc pas de problème.
