Just an overnight stay here but my room was better than a lot of hotels I’ve paid double to stay in! Definitely stay here again if I’m in Georgetown.

Le manoir de la famille Addams.

En voyage en Asie pour 3 mois, j’ai fait beaucoup d’hostel, je sais qu’on ne peut pas attendre un 5 étoiles mais tout de même ! Celui-là est d’une saleté incroyable je n’ai jamais vu ça dans aucun autre hébergement. Murs décrépis, fils électriques du chauffe-eau apparents, mais le pire : literie degueulasse et cafards sur le mur. Si vous voulez vomir, allez-y les yeux fermés vous serez impressionnés !

I like the service they gave but disappointed with the parking spaces available. Besides, the cleanliness is quite poor at the pool side..

Hostel stay

My first time staying in a hostel and it wasn’t too bad. You obviously get what you pay for. If you’re looking for mod cons and an ultra cool hotel or something luxurious, this won’t be for you. However, if you want a nice cheap place to get your head down in a fairly good location then it’s Perfect. No real problems as I knew what I was getting when staying here, the only real issue I had were the noise of some kind of generator and the bed is extremely uncomfortable. That’s the only complaints I had.

Nice hostel

This is a nice hostel. I had a private room and was satisfied with the cleanliness and comfort. However, there was a constant bad smell emanating from the bathroom drain. I spoke with reception and was offered another room which was smaller and I declined. Upon request, I was given a can of room spray to help with the odor. It worked somewhat, but the smell still lingered. I got used to it, and it wasn't a huge problem. The pool, although small, is great, and the temperature is perfect. There is a kitchen area with everything need to prepare a meal and to keep things cold in the refrigerator. A hot kettle in the room is handy for instant coffee in the morning (which they provide) and to make instant soups and noodles. . The location is very good, located close to Komtar and the bus station. There is a free local bus for the central area, and it was great to be able to hop on and off to see the sights of Georgetown. The staff was helpful, friendly, and respectful. I would definitely stay there again.

Noisy downstair No toiletries

People partying downstairs until midnight. At our first night, people partying, jamming, singing, talking, laughing, shouting downstairs. But 2nd night, no more, 3rd night, party again.... One thing quite sad is no toiletries, only toilet paper available.

Avis mitigé

L'hôtel est bien placé.Le personnel est accueillant et arrangeant. En revanche, l'hôtel est viellot et les photos ne reflètent pas du tout son état réel.

Hôtel decevant

5 nuits passées dans cet Hôtel. bruillant, anniversaire karaoké de 23h00 à 4h00 du matin. Wifi très mauvaise, débit et connection. Propreté, moquette dans les chambres avec saleté, odeurs d'humidité dans la salle de bains Literie usagée et oreillers trop épais et trop ferme pour pouvoir s'en servir.

Good location

Encountered problem with checkin. It took a while for them to locate my booking. Turned out that my booking was under Expedia which I was unaware of. As the aircon of room i was supposed to stay in was spoilt, they kindly upgraded my room. So I had comfortable stay. Excellent location close to bus interchange and also Chowrasta market.
