I have stayed at Civilian's many times, both alone and with my girlfriend. For me, there is only one room to take - Room 1, the double with window at the top of the stairs. It uses the shared showers, just across the landing. This one is light, airy, and has good a/c, but the mattress is a bit tired.... More

The price is cheap, though I didn't really look around. As someone mentioned, really nice people and good laundry service but the horrible sewer smell, paper-thin moldy walls, complete absence of soundproofing, uncomfortable beds, mosquitos in rooms near bathroom, etc, were unbearable, though I really tried to overcome. I know nothing about the upstairs. Maybe it's a lot nicer up... More

For our first night in George Town we stayed at this place. Rooms don't have any character and there are shared bathrooms, but I slept well. The place is all right, but I had the idea we could make a better deal, and we could! Just walk around the corner into Muntri street. There're a lot of characterfull guesthouses where... More

In short do NOT stay here!!! My partner and I have been travelling for eight months and this is the worst hotel we have stayed in by far!. The gentleman on reception ( Tim ) is extremely friendly and that is the only nice thing about this awful hotel. We were taken to a corridor behind reception where the smell... More
