Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My double room was very comfortable, and the fan, together with the aircon, made the space really airy and I slept very well. It could get slightly noisy at times as the room faces the main street, but it was mostly peaceful. Having to share the bathroom did not bother me much as it's right across the hallway anyway. It is right around the corner from Little India and it was so easy to get to all major attractions. Extremely good value for the price.

I got the female dorm next to the main staircase on level 2. Every night from 9pm onwards till midnight, the cigarette smoke from downstairs will come into the room as the windows have gaps. That was the only thing that ticked me off. Overall, i had a good stay. Staff were helpful. Breakfast was sufficient. Location was a plus. Convenient to get from one point to another.

Cluttered with lots of old matterest near stairs, clutters at reception area, chip off cups at water cooler, aircond not working well, mushy stuffy room smell, very steep about 60 degree slope scary to climb with luggages. Strictly no check in before 2pm regardless we arrived at 11am. 8.30 onwards Free breakfast of Coffee,white bread with butter & jam. Severely shortage of carparks, even the illegally parked cars on left and right side are full! Frequent police siren to drive away illegally parked cars or summon!!!

Sadly we tried to cancel and book somewhere else. But we couldn’t because the place was non-refundable. The wifi did NOT work the whole 6 nights we were there. It was so rough to not work, we had to go to coffee shops everyday to work. Breakfast was white bread and slices of watermelon. No toilet paper for 2 days, windows do not close all the way so mosquitoes will fly in. Sometimes you can smell the cigs smoke from the first floor. You can’t wear shoes upstairs. No fitted bedsheet, just a flat sheet, when you move at night, the sheet moves. Lots of ants in the room. The manager said he fixed the wifi, but it still didn’t work. If you plan to use wifi to scroll or work, do not recommend this place. What we do like is how close it is to everything. We were able to walk everywhere.

We loved the traditional style and elegance of the property, particularly the downstairs common area. We booked a queen room with private bathroom and were given room 205 at the back. The room was comfortable enough but on the smaller side. We didn’t like the fact that the windows were all frosted. We were also disappointed about the shower in this room which was no more than a trickle, and even started using the shared facilities over this. The towels given were also ripped and not fresh. It was a shame for some of these finer details to detract from what is a lovely old property.

Rough As Guts Don't Go There

The place is awful ,nothing like the photos and other reviews I read said it would be like.From the windowless, cell, dorm so small and narrow I could barely turn around, the dirty sheets , the freezing aircon that had no controls to regulate it, just made the stay hellish.As for breakfast ,white bread and chemical red jam just don't cut it ,then the filthy cleaning rag laid in the area where the tea and coffee dispencers were simply finished off this hostel of horrors.There is a lot better places around to stay at than this s**t hole

Good location, but that's about it

The place is in a good location, in the heart of Georgetown. They do have tea and coffee from 8.30 to 10.30 am (and sometimes during the day). They have WiFi. It works most of the time. This review is for their so-called "Superior Queen Ensuite" room - it does not deserve the title. The bed is very uncomfortable. It's clearly old and you can feel every spring in it. The air conditioning - well, it's old too. It can't be controlled by the remote provided so there is no way to change the settings. So, it's either too cold with A/C on or too hot with A/C off. There is a fan above the bed. However, for whatever reason it seemed to stop on it's own sometimes. The windows are held together with pieces of paper and duct tape. The light in the bathroom come in only when the door is completely closed (but you really need to open-close a few times to find the exact position for the light to stay on). It looks shabby. The walls could use some work, the fixtures in the bathroom are old and need to be changed/fixed, the sink moves if you put your hand on it, etc. I will not stay there again.

Good location but horrible room conditions

One of the single beds was infested with bed bugs. When we complained they came and sprayed some repellent on the correct bed even though we didn't mention which one. Clearly this is an existing issue which they have failed to address. We were then moved to their sister hotel which was infested with mosquitoes.
