Small comfortable room that look like old village style, remind me the time when I used to stay in my old house. Mostly wooden made. Also can take a rest in lobby room and take some photo outside, very easy to reach the restaurant and shopping mall. Most important is there's less traffic on this road.

Noise problem that comes from machine, maybe around the shared bathroom area. I not sure is air cond outdoor unit or other I don't know, but at least I can sleep well. Hoping can solve the noise problem.

Cheap prices, strategic location. Not too far away from city centre. Has the vintage vibe, i love the old looking building.

at night, the room door kept shaking and making noises, although there is nobody outside, so i dont know what happened. Not going to stay there anymore next time.

Good stay for the value, single room was small but comfortable. Never had any queues to the bathrooms. and the reception staff was lovely.

The hallway smelled like someone’s actively smoking cigarettes but no smell in the room.

The location is nice, located in Georgetown with lots to do. Stayed for 1 week, staff were friendly and helpful.

Rooms could have been a tad better, but can’t complain for the price. Also it was a shared bathroom.
