Very good hostel. It's very clean also. The manager is adorable and gives you good advice on what to visit. The bed is very comfy and you get your privacy easily with the curtain. I loved it. A washing machine is also available .

The common area is so beautiful and inviting. The owner is very friendly and tries everything to make you feel comfortable. Because my bus was delayed, I arrived after check-in time, but it wasn't a problem. The accommodation is located in a quiet street, but still close to everything like restaurants etc. They provide water and tea, and the kitchen is well equipped in case you want to cook... I shared a room with one other girl, and we had plenty of space for our stuff. The AC is running well!

1. the location is near the mosque, easy to go everywhere, and very convenient. very cultural. 2. The room is super spotless, and the shared bathroom is very close to our room :) 3. Staff makes people feel very welcome:) Especially thanks to Joyce, who helped us manage the check-in time, and make sure the luggage stayed in a safe place, and they even helped us make a photocopy during our very short stay, surprise to get this help and very grateful 🥰

Nati Dejene

From

Ethiopia

The location was great! It was so easy to get out and explore. My room and the whole place was very clean, wifi was very fast, had plug adaptors so I could plug in multiple things at once. Common areas are plenty and comfortable. The staff were very friendly! They recommended a great itinerary for the duration of our stay, and also recommended nice places to eat. It seems hard to find a place with a window in Georgetown - while the windows in my room couldn't open, they let in plenty of natural light

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.
