Guesthouse The Frame Guesthouse

168, Lebuh Chulia, 10200 George Town, Malaysia –

Lock in a great price for The Frame Guesthouse – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Fruit for breakfast! Friendly staff who were happy to answer all of our questions. Our departing flight was at 8.30pm on the day of our check out and staff allowed us to store our bags and use all of the facilities until that evening. Good location and great aircon in the rooms

K3ll7, New Zealand

The guesthouse was quiet and super chill. I liked the reading area and the free coffee all day was a huge plus!

Michelle, United States of America

Friendly and helpful stuff, great location and peculiar interior. Comfortable bed, simple and spacious enough rooms.

Ewa, Netherlands

The hostel is in old-style design and decoration but very clean and comfortable. There are also rooms for relaxing or private talk. Breakfast is provided with bread and spreads, fruits and you have to serve yourself. Its location is near to many Georgetown attractions.

Vuong, Vietnam

Wonderful, rustic hostel with a lot of natural from outside in. Much like the rest of Georgetown, this is a refurbished frame store that keeps all of the antique charm with it. Walking distance to many sights and plenty of food anywhere you go. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Tiana, United States of America

Friendly staff. There was complimentary breakfast and free drinking water plus they saved our bags after checkout for no additional cost

Simon, Australia

Very good location, directly in the center of Georgetown so it is easy to walk everywhere, hangout area with comfortable couch and dvd player with a few movies, air conditioning in the room, friendly reception staff, free water refilling station

Stefanie, Thailand

The staff very kind, clean rooms, also the location is perfect many places in this area you can visit it, next time i stay on it again.

Bathrooms have overwhelmingly strong smell of mothballs. I know it's a commonly used pest deterrent in this part of the world, but it was too much.
Comfy bed, clean, good sized lockers inside the room. Close to everything, but not directly on Love Street- so you can actually sleep!

We booked the private room with bathroom this time. It was next to the dorm and the showers so it was pretty noisy. The walls are thin. Last time we had the room without bathroom, would say that was the better option.
