New and clean heritage houses located in a busy but quiet street. The room is spacious and has all the basic amenities we need. Huge living area and pantry equipped with water filters, toaster, oven, kettles and even a fridge. The WiFi coverage is strong inside the room. We extended a couple more nights here as we are given a list of recommendations on places to explore! The host and staff here are amazing! Especially Desmond who assisted us upon check in and show us around the property

If you're looking to experience staying in modern heritage house, this is the place to be. There is a shared kitchenette with microwave oven, filtered water, mini fridge. Busy street by day but quiet and peaceful at night. Walking distance to almost everything. We love our room, it's clean, spacious and good view from the window. Air con and Wifi were strong too. Not forgetting to mention, the staff were absolute helpful. The reservation team is literally one message away and they are always ready to help.

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful self check-in hotel. The check-in process was smooth and super easy, with clear instructions provided. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a long day. I loved the simple yet elegant design, and everything I needed was already prepared. The location was quiet and convenient, making it a peaceful getaway. Although there was no front desk, the service was still excellent through online support. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely choose this hotel again next time. Highly recommended for a hassle-free, cozy experience! 🩷

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!
