I travelled for 3 months and this was by far the worst place I stayed (and part of my trip was in India, the sleeper trains were more pleasant than here!). I stayed 2 nights, after the first night staying in the boiling hot, stuffy room I woke up in the morning with over 90 bites on my arms, legs... More

Don't really need to review this place as everyone has summed it up perfectly. The owner is a rude old man. We asked where we can buy mosquito nets and coils. He said 'Why??? Why would you need that! I've been here 30 years and never seen mosquitos. No guests have ever complained before!". I said, "Well you can have... More

We have been backpacking for 6 months and have been in some rank places, but we've usually had semi decent service which has made up for staying in some of the cheaper rooms. This wasn't the case at Love Lane Inn. I can handle people being short/abrupt with me, but the owner raised his voice and was very aggressive towards... More

Stayed a couple of nights at this place. It's not the worst in the world but there is better in Georgetown, especially for the money. One of the real problems we had was with the staff who were rude and ignorant of a real backpackers needs. They made snide comments and slagged off backpackers behind their backs, when all people...

I found this guesthouse wandering in Georgetown for a cheap accommodation. After some tries in Lebuh Chulia I ended up in Love Lane. First it looked ok, but soon things changed. I stayed there for 1 night and service was average. The real problem was in the other day... I should detail that I'm traveling using Couch Surfing as much... More

I booked 3nights for a friend over the CNY but she had to leave for Chiangmai. The owner shouted at me and was verbally agressive when I tried to cancel the booking 24 hours ahead as stipulated by Hostelworld.com. The owner of Love Lane Inn refused the cancellation, and demanded that I informed Hostelworld myself. Hostelworld's policy clearly stipulated that... More

We arrived in Georgetown without reservations but the 3 recommended places we tried first were all full so out of desperation and to get out of the rain, we booked in for 3 nights at this place. Big mistake. Tiny room, paper thin walls, Wifi not working, grotty and too few bathrooms and to top it all off, there was... More

Having read some of the reviews after checking in to love lane inn I was a bit apprehensive about staying. But after 3 nights, like some of my other reviews, I have to say 'stop moaning people'. The triple room we were in (no 2) was a decent size, quiet enough for a city and dark enough to sleep well... More

I stayed here for 5 days in October 2011. I arrived without booking and the lady at the desk was friendly and helpful. I asked for a single room and right away she showed me the room without me even asking. The room was basic, single bed with fan and a small table. 20RM per night. I was given the... More
