Lovely spot and centrally located
Pros:

A very cute place in a great location. The room was a nice size and very comfortable, and the common areas were nice to sit in. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was super nice - and the staff were responsive when I messaged them through the app.

Cons:

I was in an upstairs room, which meant I had to walk down a flight of pretty steep stairs to get to the bathroom - I knew this when I booked so it wasn't a surprise, but if you have trouble with stairs I'd recommend staying in one of the ground-floor rooms (they don't have windows, but having seen the rooms I don't think I would have minded this - some have opaque glassed panels that let in light from other parts of the building, and the ventilation generally seems good in the building).

Wonderful stay in a great location. Would recommend to anyone visiting George Town.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! Lovely facilities, very clean, responsive and helpful hosts, easy self check in, great location!

On the first night we found the pillows uncomfortable, so I contacted the host and she bought us new, very comfortable pillows within the same day.

Cons:

A little noisy with the road nearby (as we chose the room with the window onto the road) but earplugs were provided and it didn’t really bother us

Gemütlicher Aufenthalt garantiert
Pros:

Der Name hält was er verspricht- ein wirklich gemütlicher Ort, an den man nach einem langen Tag gerne zurück kehrt um zu entspannen. Das Zimmer war sauber und mit einem Bett und Tischchen ausreichend ausgestattet. Die gemeinsamen Aufenthaltsräume sind liebevoll eingerichtet und es gibt sogar einen kleinen gemütlichen Balkon und eine Küche. Duschen und Toiletten sind ausreichend vorhanden, sodass man nicht warten muss und diese wurden regelmäßig gereinigt. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen und in einer tollen Lage.

Pros:

Very newly built hostel with clean and tidy facilities and common areas.

Cons:

There’s mosquitoes around the toilet area might have stagnant water sitting somewhere. Also there isn’t much socializing within the vicinity maybe organize some activities or events during the stay?

Na het inchecken ben ik op zoek gegaan naar een andere accommodatie. Ik vond kamer zonder raam niks
Pros:

De locatie in Georgetown was prima

Cons:

Een kamer zonder raam. Ik ben weer weg gegaan, voor mij persoonlijk was dat te deprimerend

Pros:

Emplacement idéal, très proche du centre historique, parfait pour les visites.
Chambre confortable et agréable.
Toilettes communes propres et bien équipées, avec tout le nécessaire.
Personnel très à l’écoute, aimable et réactif, qui a su nous aider lorsque nous avons rencontré un problème avec des voisins particulièrement bruyants en soirée.

Cons:

Manque d’équipements pratiques dans la chambre pour suspendre ou ranger les vêtements.
Coussins un peu trop durs à notre goût.
