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!

We had a lovely stay at Heritage Villa by Aayu. The villa was centrally located which made it incredibly easy to explore the streets of George Town by foot and there are amazing food stalls at every turn. Our room was well appointed and had everything we required for a comfortable stay including a very effective air conditioner. The host was proactive and made check in a breeze, providing a suggested itinerary and a number of online maps. Everyone at the villa was so kind but one of the highlights was meeting Desmond who had so much knowledge about the area and was always keen to hear about our plans for the day provide suggestions to enhance them. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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.

We were looking for a clean, affordable, centrally located place to stay with space for remote work—and this met all our expectations. Our room had a private bathroom, which was clean with good water pressure and warm water. The split-level layout includes a bathroom and small desk downstairs, and a bed upstairs. While compact, the space comfortably fits luggage for two. The mattress was very comfortable, the room was clean, and there were plenty of power outlets. The Wi-Fi was strong, perfect for Zoom meetings. The shared workspace in the entrance hall is spacious, air-conditioned, and tastefully designed. The shared kitchen is also very clean, the cutlery/plates etc are new. The location in the old town is excellent, with sights, a ferry (15 min walk), a 24/7 store, and the Red Garden Food Paradise (5 min walk) all nearby. The area felt very safe.

    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!
