The check in and check out SOP is good. The room is very clean and very comfortable, the location is strategic, inside very happening area It is 3 minutes away from the Kek Lok Si Tempe’s cable car. In the morning, there are various foods nearby, walking distance to the famous laksa. Very recommended to those who want to visit Kek Lok Si Temple.

The common area is so beautiful and inviting. The owner is very friendly and tries everything to make you feel comfortable. Because my bus was delayed, I arrived after check-in time, but it wasn't a problem. The accommodation is located in a quiet street, but still close to everything like restaurants etc. They provide water and tea, and the kitchen is well equipped in case you want to cook... I shared a room with one other girl, and we had plenty of space for our stuff. The AC is running well!

The location of this guesthouse is perfect and the staff are so friendly! They provided us with a fresh loaf of bread each day from a local bakery, and even created example itinerary’s for our stay in George Town! The room and facilities were all very clean and comfortable and nicely decorated, would definitely recommend staying here!

All hostels in Ayer Itam

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
