New and clean heritage houses located in a busy but quiet street. The room is spacious and has all the basic amenities we need. Huge living area and pantry equipped with water filters, toaster, oven, kettles and even a fridge. The WiFi coverage is strong inside the room. We extended a couple more nights here as we are given a list of recommendations on places to explore! The host and staff here are amazing! Especially Desmond who assisted us upon check in and show us around the property

I had a most comfortable stay at 68 Church Street. The hotel is located in a recently renovated heritage house in a quiet yet central location. The room has a sleek, white design with high ceilings. This, combined with a powerful AC allows for a cool feeling. The premises are kept spotless. The common area has a fridge, microwave and water kettle. Self check-in instructions via WhatsApp were clear and friendly and the staff do their best to make guests' stay as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommended.

    Great hostel in the midst of town. Rather quiet compared to others. Lovely staff! Talkative if you want, private if needed. They give a lot of tips in and outside Georgetown and help with anything when asked. The whole place is rather large and relaxed. Would recommend!
