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.

Erg gehorig maar fijn verblijf.
Pros:

De locatie is top, kamers zijn prima en het is er erg schoon! Badkamer fasciliteiten zijn top!

Cons:

Er is niemand aanwezig voor in/uitchecken, alles gaat online.. voelde iets onpersoonlijker. Ondanks dit wel erg vriendelijk en snel online geholpen.
Bedden/Kussens zijn niet fijn.
Voor mij het grootste probleem; Ik verbleef in kamer 1 en ik werd elke keer gestoord door de voordeur die dichtvalt, mensen die langslopen, je hoort zelfs de bovenburen lopen.... ERG gehorig helaas..

Alt i alt et udmærket ophold- personligt foretrækker jeg dog privat bad og wc faciliteter, men det er for egen regning :
Pros:

Lokationen var godt. Fint overnatningssted med planter, malerier og køleskab. Der var også en vandautomat samt AC på værelset. God kommunikation med værten

Cons:

Billederne matchede ikke overens med værelset som vi fik
