    Beds weren't very comfortable.

    Stylish, great location, friendly owner. Close to amenities in George town. Great vibes all round. Oh and the cats just made it perfect.

    Its not good to ask guest to stay out because not switching on the aircond. no personal bed lights, should coffee for coffee lovers, no hand soup at out sink,

    Location was very good, i didn't have any breakfast there, the lobby was peaceful, good arrangement 2 ways going up and down, cute cats for eyes relaxing, free tea for guests.

    The sink is not working, and stinky odor from the sink broken pipe (like someone peed inside the sink before), Very poor soundproof and could hear loud boise from the road and other tenants especially during late night.

    Price is extremely friendly for solo travellers, and I appreciate the female dormitory having ensuite bathroom in the room. Convenient location with walking distance to bus stop accessing free local bus (CAT bus). The dormitory also have sufficient power outlet for each bed.

    😪 traffic noise that intrudes the room, 😪 cleanliness for the bathroom can further be improved, 😪 more private rooms with toilet.

    😀 nice rustic design with a homey feel, 😀 room and floor were clean daily, 😀 comfortable bedspread and comforter, 😀 cool air conditioning, 😀 switches for charging handphone, laptop and power bank, 😀 3 cozy corners to chill out, 😀 clean bathroom with good water pressure and toiletries, 😀 helpful staff, 😀 great location, within walking distance to amenities.

    There weren't enough curtains on the bed, and you also had to pay for towels non-refundably. The showers are not very clean and there is also a smell from cats

    The hostel is in a very good location, with easy access to the city center. Also a very nice design of the room, along with affectionate cats) The hostel owner and her sister are very friendly, they also make delicious pancakes at the coffee shop opposite

    Nothing :)

    Such a lovely hostel! I love the interior design and what the owner has done with the place. It was quiet and peaceful but still sociable and it was easy to make friends in the dorms because they were small and cosy. Also the location was fantastic! Really good vibes.

    A bit noisy at night, the street is always busy. Bring hear plugs. Pillow too big. I prefer smaller flatter pillows.

    Good location, beautiful cats. So if you are allergic to cats you should not stay here. The place is clean but the cats move around downstairs. Very cool garden space. Helpful Moon - staff front desk person.

    Bathroom facilities were ok but there was no kitchen access at the time because the owner is still working on the kitchen. Everything was comfortable enough. The owner is really cool and helpful and as she continues working on the kitchen and some of the messier parts of the hostel this place will become really great. Don't stay if you hate cats, but there are only 2 of them and keep to themselves.

    There are cats, so sometimes there might be cat hair on your clothes if you sit in the common area :) It didn’t bother me, however. My bed made some noises when I moved at night, so this might bother others in the room. If you have a light sleep that could be annoying. It wasn’t a big problem for me.

    It is a very welcoming hostel with an eye for detail. The owner is very helpful and friendly! The cafe on the other side of the street serves affordable and very delicious breakfast! loved the cats, too.

    The shower and toilet are combined, which means everything is always wet.

    The location was good. By the old town, which is charming at night. The lobby had some hangout area and was nicely cooled.

    aircond in bedrooms only comes in at 8pm. when you go to common area downstairs you can’t avoid stepping barefoot 🦶 on dirty floor because the shoes rack area is in the way. street outside noisy can be hard to sleep. no signage to show that the hostel is there when you look for it.

    bedrooms and bathrooms 🚽 were clean

    it was difficult to locate as there were no signs to tell us it was there, we had to phone the reception. the man on reception could’ve been a bit more friendly. the smoking area is kind of inside so there were complaints from other guests about the smell. no laundry services.

    the private room is so nice, the little balcony is cool too. air con is great. the cats are cute. location was ok.

    - the pics online look a lot better than it really is - some dorms don’t have doors, just curtains - the ceiling in the dorm had better times…

    - free water! - only 3 beds in female dorm - own bathroom in the dorm - cats 🤞🏼 - lockers
