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

The location is great, near the quaint historical part of Georgetown. The hotel is a building over 100 years old so there is the charm of the historical architecture and decor. The room was spacious and the air conditioning worked well. The bed was big and comfortable and there was a lot of privacy. There was a free washing machine in the lobby which proved useful for laundering sweaty clothes worn in the summer heat outside. When checking in the hotel you get a Line App ID for chatting/communication with the owners of the hotel. They can usually be reached easily from your phone, since the wifi in the hotel works pretty well.

I loved the privacy and space for each bed. The room was THE MOST comfortable I’ve stayed in for a hostel. The bathrooms were so clean. The Wi-Fi was strong & steady. The many spaces around the building were cute and functional! The cats were all so well-mannered. The fridge and utensils in the kitchen were helpful to have. Overall, I loved this place so much. I will certainly be back if I find myself in Georgetown again!
