Lucas 9/10

Netherlands 🇳🇱

Pros: Good location in central Georgetown. Host is very friendly and helpful, provided lots of tips of things to go and see and where to eat - thank you! Also a nice common area which was great to meet other travellers. Fridge and kitchen available. My room was at the back of the house which was quiet even with the window open. Rooms have aircon and windows have screens against bugs. Good value.

Cons: If you book the single private room the toilet/shower is 1 floor down and also used by people in the common areas (dorms also have their own bathroom) - though it's an old building so it's not easy to modify the layout.

Pros: Lokasi sangat strategik kerana terletak di tengah bandar Georgetown. Mudah untuk ke mana-mana hanya dengan berjalan kaki. Tempat penginapan bersih dan mempunyai tema old school yang memberi suasana nyaman serta sesuai untuk berehat. Tandas juga sangat bersih dan benar-benar memuaskan. Bagi yang datang dengan bajet terhad, tempat ini sangat disyorkan kerana harga yang berpatutan. Amat sesuai untuk pelancong yang ingin berjalan-jalan sekitar Georgetown.
