My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN, hotel in George Town

Situated in George Town, 2.2 km from Northam Beach, My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and express check-in and check-out.

I loved everything about this place. Such a beautiful and tastefully decorated building. And such a brilliant approach to self-service. Really smart smooth system for self check-in that's also very secure. Everything is simple but perfectly clean and functional - everything you need, even a small first aid kit in the lobby. Hot and cold drinking water to fill up your bottles. The dorm room is small, but for this price you normally get a bunk bed. It's much better to have your own space. You go up and down steep steps to get to the bathroom. Perfect location. I borrowed one of the free bikes to cycle to the jetty to watch the sunrise. The streets feel safe to cycle on, no crazy driving. There is even some attempt at cycle paths.

Happy that a unit of stand alone dryer is provided to use that I can easily manage laundries for 6 persons. I can do some light cooking as well, Most important, the place is clean.
