I had a most comfortable stay at 68 Church Street. The hotel is located in a recently renovated heritage house in a quiet yet central location. The room has a sleek, white design with high ceilings. This, combined with a powerful AC allows for a cool feeling. The premises are kept spotless. The common area has a fridge, microwave and water kettle. Self check-in instructions via WhatsApp were clear and friendly and the staff do their best to make guests' stay as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommended.

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!
