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,

This was so great. Amazing location, can’t be better really. You have EVERYTHING in walking distance, smack in the middle really. Amazing food in every direction. It is clean (both the room and the bathroom facilities), and comfortable, and you feel very welcomed. The staff is super helpful and sweet, they had left a little gift of local candy and a handwritten note. Stuff like that that just puts you in a good mood. They also sent a list of recommendations for food and a suggested itinerary with activities and places to eat - I love that! This is really amazing value.

All hostels in George Town

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.
