It is very convenient location, we could walk to any tourist attractions in the town, close to the beach which is so cool, The accommodation was clean and have a lot of common space where we could seat outside and enjoy the homemade bread ( so yummy). And the best part is how supportive the staff was, they were so responsive and answered all of my questions. I was unfortunately need to go to the doctor check at the midnight due to my allergies but the staff was responded immediately when we ask. So appreciate🥹

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.
