I dont know whether to symphatise with the reviewers who complained of stolen property from their lockers or to think of them as having made up a story, for reasons only known to themselves to tell of unsubstantiated allegations of theft. In the first place, why would a budget traveler keep so much cash in an unattended locker? Surely the... More

i stayed in a dorm, which was really just a room with a bunk bed and although very cheap, i've had better for less. No Blanket or Towel. The room's are very hot, especially at night. I woke drenched in sweat every night. The front desk guy was cool. Bread and coffee were provided in the morning. Even in the... More

Do not stay here! The rooms are really warm, the fan is not working, the beds are smelly and disgusting, and if you use the lockers your money will be stolen. 3000 bath and some dollars were missing from my wallet. The showers and toilets are not clean. Be smart, and find somewhere else

Despite being cheap, this hostel was the worst part of my trip to georgetown. The staff made me feel uncomfortable and I didn't like to hang out in the common area alone because they were always there. I had over 300 ringet stolen from my locker while staying there and afterwards, the staff told me that my lock was so... More

You get what you pay for. I liked it, and never had any problems with the staff. Haven't been bitten once, although some people had. Its a bit over the top to see all these people burn this place down to the ground. It's really not the best guesthouse, but really not as worse as bad most people portray it.

Don't stay here if you want to keep your valuables. Its cheap and you get nothing for your money! The dorm rooms are hot and smelly. Theres no locks on the dorm room doors either. And although they provide lockers downstairs, several people had money/items stolen from these padlocked lockers. I would NOT recommend anyone to stay here.

This place is just horrible, the staff is unfriendly, the cleanliness is non existent, sleep quality is next to 0 because of the pungent smell of dry sweat, dirty sheets and uncomfortable beds, it is quite central for sightseeing and food which I think is the only thing that is good about this place. There is free wifi but the... More
