Staffs are welcoming and very helpful. Location is perfect - a mix of privacy and convenience. It takes only 5 min walk to reach the Armenian street. Bread served from the Continental Bakery was awesome. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful place, nice location, few minutes walking from main streets with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops but still it was quiet area. Karaoke bar nearby is actually really cute and it's nice to observe local community there. Usually it's closed after 10pm so it's not noisy at night, like some people wrote before. Place itself is really nice minimalistic style decorated. Everything you need is there - iron, fridge, ac, basic kitchen equipment, etc. It's also very clean and our room was very spacious (the one with the balcony). Owners send us a lot of tips about the city, places to visit, restaurants to try and attractions to check so it was super helpful! Also the city is amazing, really beautiful and worth staying longer than you think!

We loved staying here! The hotel has a great vibe, everything is very clean and the rooms were very quiet. There’s a water fountain on each floor which meant we didn’t need to buy new water bottles. We found lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby and lots of tourist attractions are within a walkable distance.

    Great hostel in the midst of town. Rather quiet compared to others. Lovely staff! Talkative if you want, private if needed. They give a lot of tips in and outside Georgetown and help with anything when asked. The whole place is rather large and relaxed. Would recommend!
