Extremely convenient location, close to the sights and the eats. Very clean and tidy. Friendly and helpful staff. Nicely restored, simple yet charming. Reminiscent of the days of old. Nice TV and DVD room. Very reasonable price. What more can one ask for? less

More comfortable seating in an area where people could easily sit around and talk would be good.the television is in an awkward position, too small a space ,hard to access channel change. However noise is carried easily in this building so not having the tv in an open space and paople sitting around talking loudly is a good thing I guess! Otherwise I enjoyed my stay there very much .the night manager was particularly efficient friendly and helpful! lesssamredhead50003167 (Novice Nomad from England), November 2009:

I liked my stay there very much, mostly because of the very nice couple who owns the guesthouse and the location. Should i say anything bad, it would be that they carge you full price if you change your booking, so if you, as i, changed your flight you have to pay for 3 days or more extra than you stay, cause of your original booking can not be cancelled or changed. Other than that all good ! Specially the young wife. Really nice friendly lady. lessbunj_15 (Globetrotter from Australia), November 2009:

Cleanliness is not too flash but nowhere is in Malay! Jimmy is a great bloke and helped out heaps! Not really a space to talk to other guests but they do have a tv \"room\" down the back but it\'s too hot to be there. Great location near a heap of other hostels, so lots of backpackers nearby. less
