United Arab EmiratesVery modern and clean look. Only few years old. Rooms are decent size with airco. Friendly staff with useful information. Great location close to all the highlights. All IKEA furniture ;) Great free breakfast, definitely would return.
NetherlandsNice hostel with free coffee and tea all day and a modern feel.
United States of AmericaThe staff is responsive. I requested to waive the cancellation fee for the first booking because i want to book another room. And they were able to do it swiftly. Also staff are really helpful and even draw me an arrow to the map where i need to go.
PhilippinesGreat location. Good and very nice staffs. Bed and room are very clean.
ThailandClose distance to street art, the bars, and others. Coffee and tea free until 5pm, free ear plugs for the light sleepers
IndonesiaLovely hostel in Chulia street, you could walk to almost all the attractions. And their breakfast was lovely and they start at 7 AM who h is great ! The staff were friendly and helped me out with all my queries and the bathrooms were super clean. I can definitely recommend this place to other travellers
Sri LankaOverall, it was a good stay for me. The location is great as i can just walk to all the cool places that i wanted to visit and it is very easy to take public transportation too. The room is just nice and I appreciate the design of the dorm bed which you have your own light and a small area where you can put your tiny things like watch and a phone charger point too.
MalaysiaEverything else about this place is great. The location is perfect, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the facilities are clean and chic. Overall great place for the value.
United States of AmericaStaffs are friendly and helpful. There was a girl helping me get grab taxi to the airport and she made sure I didnt overpay the fare. The room and bathroom is very nice and clean. I love the idea of minimalism. The location is so perfect because it is located in the middle of George Town and I could take a rest at the hotel from walking from one side to the other side of the town.

Host Info
The Frame Guesthouse is three storey heritage shophouse in Georgetown, Penang which previously houses a frame maker shop. Based on the belief in authenticity, functionality and material that age beautifully, we chose to restore the highly necessary in the guesthouse and hence preserve the rest. Existing concrete floor, walls and surfaces were kept with minimal treatment. Much of this space was left as it was found before the renovation with rough, peeling walls and the traces of a removed electrical appliances were left exposed on the wall surface. The guesthouse which is located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, near to most of the famous tourist attraction. It is a best accommodation for traveler who looking for unique and unforgettable stay on budget.
