Godt backpacker sted

Vi var 4 venner og bookede 2 værelser for 2 nætter. Hotellets placering var virkelig god. 200 meter fra love Lane og 200 meget fra red garden food stall. Hotellet var bedre end forventet, til den pris. Vi havde en god oplevelse.

Bed was clean, and common area was nice, but the toilets on the first floor were disgusting... a lot of flies and cockroaches... breakfast was ok, nothing special, but anytime coffee/tea and cookies was nice. They close doors after 21:00, so if you check in after 21:00, you need to contact them, otherwise you will not be able to come in(maybe someone open door, but can’t be sure)?

Private room

+ decent location + comfy bed + nice ground floor shared area with water cooler, tea, coffee - shared toilets/showers in poor condition. - very thin walls (or closed connecting door between rooms) so you can hear every word your loud Neighbours say - power failure late evening leading to stuff turning on and off repeatedly one night

立地としてはジョージタウン内にあって、すぐ歩いて観光することができるが、ホテルが似たようなものがあって見つけづらい。 入り口等はちょっと小洒落た感じがあるが実際は築年数もかなりのためぼろぼろなところは否めない。 部屋はシングルベッド二つのところだったが噂通り窓はなかった。ただ、エアコンと扇風機がついており快適に過ごせた。 朝食は無料ではあるが本当に簡単なパンとビスケット。というより、いつでも食べていいよという感じで常にフロント隣に置いてある。 この価格帯でここまで快適に過ごせるのはとても良いが、強いて言うなら共用シャワーとトイレがマイナスポイント。 もともと一つのところに無理矢理2つ新たに作った感じ。しかもトイレといっしょのため臭いが少々アンモニア臭。全て少し壁に隙間が空いており完全な個室とは言えなく、辛いことに一番端のシャワールームはほか2つの排水が一挙に集まってくる（というのも、無理矢理3つのシャワールームにしたため排水口がもともとのひとつのところにしかついていないためすべての水がそこめがけて流れてくる） 結論から言えば、シャワー、トイレを我慢できる人であればコスパとしては十分なホテル。

Fenster in den Hausflur

Entgegen der Beschreibung hatte über Zimmer weder ein Fenster nach Außen noch 20 qm. Ziemlich beengt, dunkel und nichts für Frischluftfreunde. Das Personal kümmert es nicht. Das Frühstück besteht aus Toast, Marmelade und Erdnussbutter, frischem Obst und Heißgetränken. Überdurchschnittlich für Malaysia! Die bekannte Love Lane ist gleich um die Ecke.

Bon rapport qualité/prix et bien placée

Très bon séjour dans cette guesthouse, bien placée à seulement quelques minutes des premiers bars et restaurant, et également du centre historique. La chambre était propre et climatisée, la salle de bain commune un peu dépassée mais propre. Petit dejeuner thé café toast, suffisant! Pour finir personnel très agréable qui peuvent vous réserver des transferts en bus ou ferry. Je recommande!

I love how helpful and accommodating they are. I was a bit bummed that our room didn't have a window (made me feel a bit claustrophobic), but since we spent most of our times outside, it didn't matter much. It was an overall a very pleasant experience and I'd definitely recommend them.

Cheap and cheerful

Overall it was a great stay here. We stayed for four nights after initially booking three, really easy to add another night and the owner let us stay in the same room which was really helpful. The room was small but clean. Shared bathrooms are fine, could do with a thorough clean but I imagine it’s hard in a place like this. Ac and a fan in the room, so good that it actually felt cold at night. Great location in terms of walking distance to places. Owner was really friendly and helpful: there was heavy rainfall and he was stood at the door making sure people were safe walking past in the floods. Also, he helped us book our boat tickets to Langkawi and got them to us saving us a trip to the ferry port. I would stay here again in Georgetown.

A pensão fica em uma antiga casa tradicional chinesa, reformada para receber hóspedes. O gerente é muito prestativo e fornece muitas informações e panfletos interessantes. Localização muito boa, onde se pode ir caminhando para várias atrações de Georgetown. O ar condicionado no meu quarto era muito barulhento, por isso só usei o ventilador e passei calor à noite. Café da manhã simples, com chá ou café e torradas com geleia ou pasta de amendoim.
