It was amazing! I love this place so much, so clean, CP (our manager) feels like a mother to us. Love the vibe, made so many new friends. The bed is extremely comfy, and the place is in the heart of Georgetown. 10/10 would come again ✨

Owned by a young family, this neat and cozy hotel for sure will not disappoint you! Best value for money in Georgetown and even much better than some with higher pricing (visited around 10 places in the city).

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
