Unfortunately the worst sleep of our travels because of the thin walls. Earplugs don't help because you hear and feel every step and movement. They have a quiet policy after 10pm but our room was next to 2 obnoxiously loud young European girls who kept chatting and laughing until way past midnight. I had to ask the staff to remind them to be quiet. They were quick to respond even at 12:30am which was highly appreciated

Sogor Female Dormitory is honestly one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at! I feel so lucky to have had the chance to stay here for 3 nights—it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Even though I came as a solo backpacker, I never felt alone. I ended up meeting two amazing foreigners during my stay, and we connected instantly. The environment is clean, hygienic, and very well maintained. The washrooms are spotless, the laundry area is convenient, and the public space is super comfortable—perfect for relaxing or chatting with other travelers. This hostel gave me not only a safe and comfy place to stay, but also meaningful memories and new friendships. I highly recommend it to any solo female traveler out there. I’d easily rate it 10/10!

The staff is great! The building is very cool, and it's a really unique experience to stay in a place like this. If you're into cultural experiences that are a little outside the norm, you'll love it! I had the whole building (!) to myself for 2/3 nights. That said, it is a bit outside the experience you might expect from a more modern and traditional hotel, so it's important to know what you're signing up for.

    The friendly cat residents made our stay very special! So did the cosy and homely atmosphere of the guesthouse. The staff we met were all friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The shared showers and toilets were spotless. The shared kitchen included a hot & cold water dispenser which was most useful. The location is excellent - walking distance to the key sights as well as fantastic restaurants. Nothing not to like!

    My friend and I had a lovely stay at Aayu Melayu for 3 nights. Great location to explore Georgetown, close to the heritage centre and countless restaurants and cafes. The building itself is a lovely guesthouse and our room was spotless and bathrooms very clean. Shane and his staff were so helpful both in advance via WhatsApp and once we arrived and they offered lots of great recommendations. Would highly recommend our stay here. Thank you!

    It was easy to deal with the host. The host facilitated check-in and check-out. Even allowed us to leave our luggage since we arrived early. Great location. Gurney Plaza was just across from the apartment. The apartment was very clean and just nice for the five of us. It's definitely a place to come back to. Although located in a busy area, steps were taken to ensure safety of guests with their security protocol.
