Very good

Beautiful building. Adequate everything.We were in a private room, so it might be different in the dorms, but we had no complaints. Good quality air-conditioning. Decent shower. Easy stay. Nice reception people.
Superb hostel. Good sized private room, very clean. Shared bathroom/ toilets were also very clean whenever we used them over our six night stay.
Breakfast better than expected, cereal, toast & fruit options. Complimentary tea & coffee available all day too.
Location superb & friendly staff.
It's very convenient for out going to see all around George Town and outside of city.
Nice staff, everyone are kind, friendly and prompt to help.
but one thing need to be aware due to closed of hostel is pub especially weekend night the noising is so loud. it might be disturbing your sleeping time but just only second floor in 2 first room.
overall is very great for me. I really love this place.
Great location, nice and helpful staff! It was a little bit noisy at night from the music outside. It was very clean and included a simple breakfast which was nice.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Decent place to stay. Very thin walls, but a good location!
A good, convenient location. Friendly staff, clean accommodation, free toast breakfast each morning. The walls are paper thin, so street traffic noise and a crying baby in the room next door kept us up. Only one shower and toilet downstairs so a bit of a line when it’s busy there. Other than that, a nice place to stay!
Bien située, beaucoup de bus passent à proximité ce qui permet de faire les visites à moindre coût
Petit déjeuner continental parfait avec des fruits
Personnel attentif
Bâtiment très sympa et original
Séjour de 2 nuits seulement. J'ai retrouvé une atmosphère de mes belles années de voyage en Asie. Un accueil sympathique, de bons conseils sur les visites touristiques et autres informations pratiques.
