I got the female dorm next to the main staircase on level 2. Every night from 9pm onwards till midnight, the cigarette smoke from downstairs will come into the room as the windows have gaps. That was the only thing that ticked me off. Overall, i had a good stay. Staff were helpful. Breakfast was sufficient. Location was a plus. Convenient to get from one point to another.

Cluttered with lots of old matterest near stairs, clutters at reception area, chip off cups at water cooler, aircond not working well, mushy stuffy room smell, very steep about 60 degree slope scary to climb with luggages. Strictly no check in before 2pm regardless we arrived at 11am. 8.30 onwards Free breakfast of Coffee,white bread with butter & jam. Severely shortage of carparks, even the illegally parked cars on left and right side are full! Frequent police siren to drive away illegally parked cars or summon!!!

shower head not fixed properly, no hook mounted on the wall.
Sadly we tried to cancel and book somewhere else. But we couldn’t because the place was non-refundable.
The wifi did NOT work the whole 6 nights we were there. It was so rough to not work, we had to go to coffee shops everyday to work. Breakfast was white bread and slices of watermelon. No toilet paper for 2 days, windows do not close all the way so mosquitoes will fly in. Sometimes you can smell the cigs smoke from the first floor. You can’t wear shoes upstairs. No fitted bedsheet, just a flat sheet, when you move at night, the sheet moves. Lots of ants in the room. The manager said he fixed the wifi, but it still didn’t work. If you plan to use wifi to scroll or work, do not recommend this place.
What we do like is how close it is to everything. We were able to walk everywhere.

Worth my money thank you! As for me, the breakfast is served a little bit too late. We have to eat outside since the breakfast can only be eaten at 8:30am. Overall everything is okay. Will come here again if i have a chance. Great place at a great spot 👍
The place is awful ,nothing like the photos and other reviews I read said it would be like.From the windowless, cell, dorm so small and narrow I could barely turn around, the dirty sheets , the freezing aircon that had no controls to regulate it, just made the stay hellish.As for breakfast ,white bread and chemical red jam just don't cut it ,then the filthy cleaning rag laid in the area where the tea and coffee dispencers were simply finished off this hostel of horrors.There is a lot better places around to stay at than this s**t hole
The place is in a good location, in the heart of Georgetown. They do have tea and coffee from 8.30 to 10.30 am (and sometimes during the day). They have WiFi. It works most of the time.
This review is for their so-called "Superior Queen Ensuite" room - it does not deserve the title.
The bed is very uncomfortable. It's clearly old and you can feel every spring in it.
The air conditioning - well, it's old too. It can't be controlled by the remote provided so there is no way to change the settings. So, it's either too cold with A/C on or too hot with A/C off.
There is a fan above the bed. However, for whatever reason it seemed to stop on it's own sometimes.
The windows are held together with pieces of paper and duct tape.
The light in the bathroom come in only when the door is completely closed (but you really need to open-close a few times to find the exact position for the light to stay on).
It looks shabby. The walls could use some work, the fixtures in the bathroom are old and need to be changed/fixed, the sink moves if you put your hand on it, etc.
I will not stay there again.
this hotel is in little india section of the town. i like the location because it is within walking distance from the ferry to langkawi. the hotel is full of old century charms. my room is spacious and comfortable. this is the best value accomodation in georgetown, very convenient for adventurous single travelers who go to langkawi via george town.
One of the single beds was infested with bed bugs. When we complained they came and sprayed some repellent on the correct bed even though we didn't mention which one. Clearly this is an existing issue which they have failed to address. We were then moved to their sister hotel which was infested with mosquitoes.
As this is a backpacker stay inn, the facilities provided actually is superb, ALL time tea and coffee supply, clean bath and toilet room with sufficient of cubi (with sufficient toilet rolls provided), room door is digital, I am staying in room with double bed with clean room, clean bedsheet, for those booking own room it provided 2 towels.
Free wifi also.
only discredit is the terrible TV reception.
