We loved staying here! The hotel has a great vibe, everything is very clean and the rooms were very quiet. There’s a water fountain on each floor which meant we didn’t need to buy new water bottles. We found lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby and lots of tourist attractions are within a walkable distance.

    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!
