I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful self check-in hotel. The check-in process was smooth and super easy, with clear instructions provided. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a long day. I loved the simple yet elegant design, and everything I needed was already prepared. The location was quiet and convenient, making it a peaceful getaway. Although there was no front desk, the service was still excellent through online support. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely choose this hotel again next time. Highly recommended for a hassle-free, cozy experience! 🩷

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!
