Well situated near a food street and the city center. Suite place. Very helpful host , Clean Shared bathroom
Do not take breakfast in his coffee shop downstairs. It does not worth. There is bo sheets only blanket and bo great view.
It was in a great location. Very quiet and next to family living complex, so it felt very safe.
The atmosphere
Everything overall
Locker didn't work
The whole facilities in this hotel is fantastic . Very well maintained . Room condition was very clean . Mini bar was complimentary
All ok ...Nothing seems like to add in to be better . Maybe the parking facilities to be more accurate as when I came in after dinner around 10pm ,,,,the indication shown was FULL at the parking entrance ...but I took a risk entering and finaly was a space in the parking area ( P3 )
The room big travel with 3kids and 4 adult and the room was clean and nice. What good toilet outside and no need to wait ..
Staff, near food and sites. Very walkable. Cleaning every day. Soap provided.
I wish they had a fridge ! They have water and hot water which is great. But it is hot here! I wish I could have cold water!

La posizione e i bagni
L’atmosfera, il fatto che pioveva dentro nelle aree comuni
Localização, muita coisa perto, restaurante excelente bem perto, e fácil de ir para vários locais caminhando perto.
Falta mesa no quarto e locais para roupas.
Best one for the rate.. when we saw the room we were like wooowww 😱🥰
The staff were very kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The small café at the entrance is a really nice touch. The room had air conditioning, which was appreciated. The bed was large enough for two people. Overall cleanliness was acceptable.
Major noise disturbances during both nights (a drunk guest at 4 a.m. trying to force his door, and a phone/alarm ringing for about an hour). Guests did not respect quiet hours after 10 p.m., which made the stay exhausting. The bed was not comfortable at all, we both ended up with stiff necks. The bathroom is open to the outside, making it noisy (chickens, etc.) and not very pleasant. The bathroom is too small and impractical for getting dressed. Other guests did not respect cleanliness and left shared spaces dirty. The facilities feel quite old and outdated. Suggestion: The hostel should enforce quiet hours more strictly, possibly with penalties, to improve guests’ experience.
スタッフはとてもフレンドリーです。
ベッドのカーテンは物足りなく感じるかもしれません。ベッドの下は掃除されていないのでものを落とさないように気をつけてください。
The floor of female dormitory is super sticky… At night the public space ac is turn off, it’s hard to stay long with lotsss of mosquitoes.
Top, je recommande
RAS
Staff very nice, common place in the cafe very good
chicken outside very noisy
整体还行吧
房间床铺人数似乎超预期,本以为4-8人间,结果似乎有八个左右上下铺,加上被安排在房间进出门口位置(印象中订房应该有留言请安排需要较安静房间位置),对睡眠多少有影响,本身睡眠不是特别好;存放东西的20号柜子有些小且破损用铁丝类固定,感觉安全稳固性不是太好,免费饮用水不知有没有(这次出行前面吉隆坡六人间就我一人住,下站就是目前在曼谷的青旅四人间目前也是我一人住,都是有提供相比做的更好些,房价也都比较接近)~
It’s good located in china town, really central
Nothing to complain
Bon emplacement, personnel accueillant, bonne ambiance dans l’auberge Bref très bon rapport qualité/prix, je recommande
Ce n’est pas un souci, mais petite info à savoir : pas de rideaux sur les lits du haut et mon lit grinçaient beaucoup ce qui est embêtant pour la personne du bas
位置友好的工作人員
Rommet var mye større enn vi så for oss, og veldig stort og lufti under taket
Ok
Ok
Lit confortable, super emplacement Personnel cool et sympa
C’est dommage que l’eau pour boire n’est pas fraîche Dans les rideaux des lits ne font pas le tour complet
Posizione comoda. Mi sono piaciuti i bagni aperti. Per qualche giorno si può fare.
Decadente nonostante le potenzialità. Letti vecchi e coperte stantie, nel dorm femminile l’aria condizionata era a cannone tutta la notte. Personale gentile ma zero presente.
room big and clean
nil
liked the place
the smell of the place, aircond wasnt working well and no fan in the room. Alot of loud bang from objects being moved in the middle of the night
The staff are practically ghosts. Since I arrived (around 7 p.m.), I only saw them once when I checked out, and I stayed there for three nights. They don't answer the phone. If it weren't for the help of one of the guests, I would be standing at the door.
Very efficient and kind staff
Good location, fun common area / bar, with messages from former guests on the wall. Clean enough (outdoors) bathroom
Only bottom bunk beds have half curtains - in some places that's ok, in others that may not be the most comfortable. Mostly quiet - but with some weird, noisy, annoying guests.
the location is close to the places you want to visit..strategic location
I am using shared bathroom..Unfortunely i smell of cigarette smoke in the toilet. There is also a cigarette butt near the toilet. even though a smoking ban has been placed
Le top 👍
The location is very strategic, close to tourist attractions. The staff are also nice and friendly. The room and toilet are clean.
Maybe fix the broken floor instead of covering it with a carpet, imagine if we accidentally step on it. And please separate the women’s and men’s toilets, it’s honestly quite creepy tho
Zentrale Lage, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
Im Zwischenboden haben Mäuse gewohnt und der Vormieter hatte ihnen eine Packung Sonnenblumenkerne im Zimmer hinterlassen. 😐
This place has character and quirky guests who seem to sleep all day. The bed was OK apart from the mice. The showers fine. Coffee shop a bonus.
Lacked a vibe. Needs a volunteer and social angle.
La ubicación es muy buena. El ambiente mochilero se respira en el hostel. Los baños para ser compartidos están bien y hay bastantes. Los trabajadores son simpáticos.
Es un hostel MUY RUIDOSO. En la calle de detrás está lleno de gallos, gallinas, ocas y más animales. Empiezan a cantar a las 6 am y están todo el día haciendo ruido. Se lo comentamos a los empleados y simplemente se rieron sin dar ninguna importancia. Nos encontramos además con bastantes huéspedes que también hacían mucho ruido. Por último, el hostel tiene un ambiente bastante distendido, lo que hace que los trabajadores estén charlando, riendo y con la música a un volumen alto que se escucha desde las habitaciones del piso de arriba.
La ubicación. Aunque tengo muchos comentarios malos, viendo los hoteles de la zona parecería haber peores.
Si te exigen que te saques el calzado para subir las escaleras, deberian ser igual de exigentes al entregar las habitaciones decentemente limpias. El baño privado un asco, lleno de pelos, el agua no corria de la mugre que habia. El inodoro con sellos importantes por todos lados. Las habitaciones no tienen vidrios en las ventanas, por lo que se genera un hermoso criadero de mosquitos y se escucha absolutamente todo de todo el mundo. Hay una sabana diminuta para una cama de pareja, te cagas de frio y te comen los mosquitos.
The staff are kind welcoming, able to assists, location is good in the middle of George town, where every spots are at walking distance.
I am more relaxed if the hall way every corner of the house has poster that states "No loud noise in the middle of the night" along with that all guest must be verbally informed that avoid walking so loud on the floor", and there is a "MICE" which roaming around the house and eat my coffee powder and other food packaging. i hope this concern will highlight the issue of the Guest House, to provide better service to the new arriving guest.
Love the decoration and service
Not Muslim friendly, No space to pray as we need to pray outside the room, there’s too many cctv everywhere included at the toilet area.
leider ein bisschen dreckig und in die Jahre gekommen, aber für eine Nacht für uns als Überbrückung absolut ausreichend
Very aesthetic
Blízko centra
Hluk
Pretty central
The bathrooms were not clean. Our room got somehow flooded during the night and our backpacks got so wet that my friend had to throw away her shoes. Nonetheless we did not receive any refund (although we asked for it).
The location is great, staff is friendly, facilities are fine.
The door to the room was quite noisy, and since more than 10 people were there, someone always closed or opened it, so it was a bit disturbing. I was unlucky, because I had a bed directly, below the air conditioning, so I would always wake up at night being really cold, even though I had a pullover and long trousers on. If the bed had curtains, this could probably be solved.
La ubicación era excelente, muy cerca de love lane y chulia street. Nos guardaron el equipaje sin problema tanto como necesitamos.
Las paredes son de papel, se oye el más mínimo ruido. A nosotras la primera noche nos tocaron unos huéspedes que no nos dejaron dormir, en no haber recepción 24h, no puedes hacer nada, igualmente, el personal al día siguiente hablaron con ellos. La limpieza, especialmente en el baño, muy muy mejorable.
Good value for money and it's within walkable distance to all must visit places. Nice quaint place! 😊
The bathrooms were common for all rooms and the showers were also within the small bathrooms which is not ideal. It was too small of a place to wash.
The staff is friendly and accomodating.Always smilling and make us feel like at home and never felt lonely.The location is not far from the famous Love Lane or Komtar.I love the artwork and the ID for the double room and also the walkway.By the way,my room was like the opposite of the reception(Rope walk Cafe). Most important thing that they have iron and no deposit needed!
I've tried using the password given for the wifi but failed several times and in the end,I used my own data.At a point, I could hear clearly the sound of plank everytime someone stepped on it(well,I couldn't blame much as it is an old building).In the end,I still managed to sleep.
