    Lovely guesthouse in a strategic location. It's within walking distance to the main attractions of Georgetown but still quiet at night. The room is charming (love the wooden floors) and the both bed-and bathroom are very clean. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

    The air conditioning worked well. The room was secure. It was quiet at night time. I wanted basic comfortable and clean and this hostel fulfilled that brief. It was helpful to have a convenience store and ATM close by. Location was pretty good and taxis are very cheap so moving around is not a problem.

    This boutique hotel boasts a terrific location (at the very quiet end of a very busy street, so steps away from the action). There are only four rooms in total so everything feels very cosy. Jane and Ryan are excellent hosts, going the extra mile to make their guests feel right at home. The local breakfast offered is absolutely delicious.

    Great hostel in the midst of town. Rather quiet compared to others. Lovely staff! Talkative if you want, private if needed. They give a lot of tips in and outside Georgetown and help with anything when asked. The whole place is rather large and relaxed. Would recommend!

    We loved our stay here. Great location, quiet but also in the centre of things. The guest house is charming and characterful. The room was pretty small but beautiful, with everything we needed. Staff were so friendly and attentive. We were given a very useful map with things to see and places to eat. We were also brought tea and fresh pastries in the afternoon, this was a lovely bonus!
