Der Service ist fabelhaft. Alles kann per WhatsApp geklärt werden und eine Antwort kam immer innerhalb 2 Minuten. Sogar der Check-In läuft kontaktlos mit einem Pin Code der für den Aufenthalt lang gültig ist. Ich war in einem 4-er Zimmer untergebracht. Sehr klein aber ausreichend. Leider muss ich die Einrichtung sehr bemängeln. Die Matratzen sind alle komplett durchgelegen und haben sogar eine Kule. Bei jeder Bewegung quietschen die Betten und die oberen Betten haben keinen Vorhang. Lage is...

an ok hostel to stay in for a couple of days. Great location wich is a big plus. Self check in and no reception. Fast replys on whatsapp if there was anything, but i prefer when there’s a reception. Small kitchen area wich is nice and two tables, but no more hang out space than that, not a very social hostel. Rooms were fine with lockers and beds with curtains. Bathrooms were combined shower and toulet, and so the toilet and toilet paper was often super wet… Pretty clean. Towels were include...

The hostel is in a great location but my personal experience it was very antisocial. Very small kitchen / communal area for the amount of people staying. The beds are very uncomfortable & creaky, you can hear anyone moving around in the hostel at night, I had to leave early due to lack of sleep. Check in is not a straight forward process. Showers were ok & towel provided

Ok for short stay. Very small communal area. I stayed for over a week and not once anyone offered to change my bedsheets. Sadly, mattresses as well as pillows had better days. Didn’t feel comfort at this hostel at all. Great location, friendly staff.

This place has a great location, staff is very communicative, bathroom are clean and kitchen area is convenient. But I had hard time to sleep as top bed has no curtain and the neon light was right above my bed, also because the door slam very hard when people get in or out. Ear plug were a nice touch but not enough for me to have a restful night.

The location was great, and the guy who was cleaning was super lovely. However, there’s no staff actually working there so you can’t get any advice on things if you’re looking for that sort of stuff. The beds aren’t comfy at all but that might’ve just been the bunks we got.

The codes system was annoying, the door not always worked. Not a practical way to get through 3 doors. Also noisy for night times. Toilet: no shelves, no soap, tiny sink where you couldnt really wash in. Common area isnt confortable, it’s just a high table with 6 chairs, not a place where to softly chat. No space for ur things in the bed. With no reception you have to pay by whatsapp with a link, which doesnt work. With no staff it is not easy to figure your problems out related to the ho...

Myotu was very kind and helpful. however, it was quite confusing the fact that I didn't receive any email with information about checking-in in advance. Thanks to other people from the hostel, I could get into the hostel. About the facilities, it is a very very small place. The kitchen is also the living room and the check-in area. It is also a very noisy place. The toilets were quite messy and full of water everywhere. I wouldn't like to stay there again.

It’s fine, the social area is so tiny it’s ridiculous. Everyone there was working. Not social at all, there’s nowhere to sit and just relax in the afternoons. The bathroom is mixed and it made me feel uncomfortable coming out of the shower and having the cleaner (male) just there, even men being around while brushing my teeth in pj’s just isn’t the vibe. Bed isn’t as bad as people say and I’m fussy… it’s alright for a night or two

Most affordable hostel in the historic district with some rooms only having 4 beds. Aircon, hot shower, hot and cold drinking water, refrigerator, microwave, toaster and instant 3 in 1 coffee. You will need 3 codes for checking. Contact owner via WhatsApp in order to receive all the codes for front door, room and locker. No reception or sign. But Google map shows location only one small common area and shoes all stay at base of stairs

I liked this hotel a lot! The room was nice and the beds comfortable. Showers were good and cleaned everyday! You get codes to all the different doors which is nice because you don't have to carry keys with you. I did have a problem with my code on the last day but it was fixed quickly.

Was a great location! Very clean (a staff member is literally clean the toilets repeatedly). Being online is a little confusing but it works. There is absolutely no social aspect to the hostel despite people trying. The beds are super squeaky.

Really nice hostel, bedrooms clean and good beds. Really liked the digital codes for everything and not carrying a key round was nice. Showers and toilets were okay but only 2 between three 4/6 bed dorms so very often would have to wait. Toilet paper is also just sat out so is often soggy because showers and toilets are the same room Beds are also really squeaky they’d make a loud noise Only tiny things but overall had a really great stay and would return if in Georgetown again :)

It’s not the most social hostel but it’s comfortable and it feels safe. The location is perfect! Overall, good value for money and more than alright to spend a few nights

An sich alles in Ordnung nur es ist wirklich gar nicht sozial, da es praktisch keine social area gibt. Klo und dusche zusammen in 1 raum Keine reception-> check in nur über whatsapp Und es wird laut, da es direkt neben einer Moschee ist Dafür aber Trinkwasserspender Sauberer Kühlschrank Gute klima Dicke Matratzen

Good location, all keycode entry so no keys required. Clean room although not loads of space. Towel supplied although mine had quite a lot of hair on it. Was in a downstairs room and could hear absolutely everything upstairs - noisy to sleep even with earplugs.

Good value. No atmosphere though the front door often didn’t lock either which felt unsafe with no staff onsite. I’m wasn’t a huge fan of the self check in either. But great location. Rooms are clean only downside is the top bunks don’t get curtains
