Great Hotel in a Great Location
Pros:

Great little hotel in Georgetown.

Has everything you need - clean room and bed. There's a water dispenser in the hall, and a rooftop area if you want to relax during the day or evening.

Location is great as it's near all amenities - minimarts a few shops up, a large shopping mall across the road, and a foodcourt around the corner. Not exactly in the heart of historical Georgetown, but that is a short walk and you can go south for some other lesser known food streets that are amazing.

Staff are great. Very professional and helpful with all enquiries, and we were cutting it fine with a late check-in but they stayed in communication with us to make sure we were looked after.

Cons:

We had the loft room and didn't mind it, but yes, the stairs are a little narrow and tight, so some might find it challenging. Additionally, not heaps of room in the room itself, but ample as long as you don't have to unpack all your stuff.

You can hear other rooms, but we were there for a few nights, not a weekend, but didn't hear any outside noise and what little of the neighbours was just regular noise of people moving about. Light sleepers might struggle but it wasn't anything to keep us up.

Reasonable budget option
Pros:

Well located, close to bus station. Plenty of food options locally and 15 min walk to historic centre or jettys, with loads of food and bar options.

Cons:

Right on a busy main road. No real window in room, just an internal shaft. A/C temperamental.

It was still a very pleasant stay.
Pros:

I liked the ambience, the cleanliness, the staff and the hospitality, the location is good too.

Cons:

I liked my room, however because it was located facing the main road, and the room had windows(which is a nice thing), but because it was right beside the main road which is always busy, the noise level was bad.

Pros:

Fijne en schone kamers! Aan alles was gedacht. Tandenborstel, slippertjes, waterflesje en koffie. Het bed was lag echt heerlijk! Het personeel was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Wij zouden hier zeker terugkomen!

Cons:

Badkamer was wat gehorig dus wij konden de kamer boven ons horen douchen maar voor ons geen groot probleem want in de kamer zelf hoorde je weinig tot niks.
