    The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was so nice. This is my first time booking this type of room. So small but so spacious. For 2 people it is quiet good. Overall, we love it. And will be booking again if we came to georgetown again 🥰

    Rooms were very clean and accommodation was nicely presented. Pictures were very accurate to the standard of the accommodation. The location was amazing if you want to be in the heart of Chinatown. Short walk to little India and other main areas...

    The location is actually walking distance to most attractions, making it the best place if you love to walk around. But parking is hard to find. I was riding a motorcycle here, so it was fine, but if you come with your car, parking is quite...

    Great value for money. Nice to have a private room with ensuite bathroom for the price. Nice and quiet place but also close by lots of bars, eateries and all you want to see in Georgetown. The late self check-in process was really easy to follow.

    - central location - clean room and bathroom (some mold to be found but in general way cleaner than most rooms in Malaysia) - good airconditioning - great staff - awesome room layout (be aware: bed is up a steep ladder)
