Clean, tidy, comfortable, quiet, modern with all necessary facilities. Dorms have no windows but it did not bother me as they are spacious enough. AC works perfectly. Communication with the staff was smooth and helpful.

The location was very convenient as it is close to a lot of local eateries and bus stops that goes places. It is also close to a lot of the main attractions in george town. The room that I had was spacious and what I expected it to be. Bed was comfortable. The showers and toilets are plentiful in numbers albeit a little bit cramped in my opinion. PS: this place is self check in. They do have someone on site and they do send out a text message on whats app about the password for the main door and the room door. Just make sure you get the text message from them prior to your visit here. Communication is prompt and concise.

Possibly the MOST helpful and nicest staff I’ve ever met. The location 100/100. Lebuh Muntri is truly the most bohemian street in all of Georgetown. Extremely close to all the major attractions. Quiet at night. The room was basic yet had everything one needs. Special props to EXCEPTIONAL CLEANING!!! Beds were REALLY comfortable. Awesome experience 💯
