We were at Cocoa Mews for three nights and enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the dorm, which has 8 beds, although when we were there no more than 5 were taken at a time. The dorm has access to two shared shower rooms, which were always clean and tidy and had plenty of hot water and pressure. The toilets... More

We stayed in the Standard Double Bed Private Shared Bathroom which was quite small and had no window. The internet was intermittent. The place was clean, quiet, had personality, great location (little india), one set of stairs. Great servoce - the two guys were always helpful and rarely there was noone there.

Cocoa Mews is certainly very affordable and in a great location in Little India, with easy access to delicious food. The beds probably need an upgrade and it can be quite noisy so bring earplugs. We thought the guest house could benefit with a communal area where visitors can interact. The staff member Arthur was fantastic – very friendly, helpful... More

The hostel is located in the heart of the Little India area of Georgetown, with good quality (and cheap) local eateries virtually next door. The dorm was nice and cool, with two air con units, though the mattresses were a little tired. The staff were the real stars of this place though - very welcoming, informative, and always ready to...
