The property is located right at the heart of the city and in front of Kapitan Keling Mosque, one of the many landmarks and touristic attractions of Georgetown. The staff was very polite and helpful, and the property is very nice and has this very nice style. Our room was spacious, very comfortable and we had a very nice view from the mosque (only issue was being awakened by it at 5 AM every morning, but they had earplugs at the reception to help with that).

Could be better
The room smelled musty so I couldn’t sleep all night long. I was on the top bunk and it was dark so I fell when I tried to come down. The other occupants took the aircon remote control so it got really hot and humid at night. There were many bugs in the room and the washroom area.

Nice place
The first night I was in an 8 bed mixed dorm and it was very noisy. There is a mosque nearby and I was woken up at 5:30am and 6:30am from it. I was also able it hear noise form people walking outside of the room. The next two nights, I was in a 4 bed female dorm and it was so much better. It was very quite.

Good in George!
Great location. Heart of Georgetown. Easy to walk around or less than 2 mins to a bus stop in either direction. Street art, food, bars are all right there. Friendly staff and enough space to get some quiet time in one of several common areas. Has a TV area but I never watched anything so can’t say much on that. Was there for 7 nights and slept great every night. The prayers can be loud, but I don’t know if anywhere in the area is quiet, so buy some earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

okay with short stay
First of all, the staffs are superb nice. Thank you so much. I stayed in dorm and there was no curtain. There is a window in the room but it cannot be opened, and the light came from the hallway through the window was bothering me when I sleep.

Everthing is good except for the towel. Not so clean, eventhough i have requested for a second towel. Just remember to bring your own towel. Other than that, I have a pleasant stay
