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 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.

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!

It’s a new accommodation in town but doesn’t have the freshly renovated smell at all! The bed is very comfy and I slept like a baby throughout the night. It’s a shared bathroom hotel but the hotel only accommodates dozen of people at the same time thus they are cleaned and well maintained. Very close to the hot tourist spots and restaurants. A cleaner is here to keep the whole place hygienic. Not to mention the indoor plants make the space really nice and green. Would love to stay here again.
