I found it a nice guest house, very clean with a kitchen and a common room where you can meet some other guests. I got 2 different rooms but I prefer the room with 2 single bed because it was a very quiet room and very good bed,

Owned by a young family, this neat and cozy hotel for sure will not disappoint you! Best value for money in Georgetown and even much better than some with higher pricing (visited around 10 places in the city).

We loved the location, the place was super clean, and the staff were the best! Super friendly, helpful, and happy to share local knowledge. The communication was top-notch. We were welcomed with some delicious local coffee-flavour bread from an old local bakery. There's a common kitchenette with tea & coffee, a water dispenser, a microwave. Next time in Georgetown, we will definitely be back at the Aauy Muntri 😊

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.
