  Very dirty

  11 Jul 2019

  The hostel has a great location, but that it.The room was not clean, bedsheets unchanged and dirty..Broken shower and toilet.Has to pay a locker at the reception, they don't provide it.No ac remote in the room, frozen room.The point is, the very bad management.The owner should take care of it. This place could be very good but so dirty...

  Wouldn’t Return... Ever.

  18 Jun 2019

  Take my advise and don’t make the mistake I did. This the the ultimate catfish hostel. Looks nothing like the images you will see. Disgusting and dirty room (that is being polite). My foot went through a termite eaten floorboard. The staff (who we’re friendly) took us to our room which was still dirty from the previous user. He explained they just checked out, hardly believable. The bathroom covered in a stench of urine, mould and grime. Breakfast is disgracefully unhygienic, mouldy bread and dirt everywhere. Adding a 100RM deposit cost for keys.... it’s laughable and ludicrous. Without doubt the worst place I have ever stayed in, period. A positive is it’s location, good for walking to all the attractions and different districts. However...... Do Not Stay Here!

  HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

  15 May 2019

  I was treated like a pervert and a criminal by the staff and two guests. They took my phone lying to me and one of the guests threatened to beat me when I asked my phone back. The staff did nothing for me and kept lying. I asked to call the police (I couldn't do it by myself without my phone) and the staff refused to do so.

  A mixed stay.

  11 May 2019

  I would love to rate Georgetown residences higher but due to a number of reasons I am unable to. Our first impressions of the hostel were great, free WiFi, free breakfast, spacious rooms and modern, fun decor. This all lived up to what was expected to begin with and the hostel also provided towels and spacious lockers which really pleased us. However, once we had settled in we realised that the WiFi didn’t connect in the room and we were left unable to have breakfast on two of our four days due to the hostel running out of bread. They also ran out of tea, butter and creamer on these days. We told reception but he just said he’d been busy and we were left to pay for our breakfast again elsewhere. In addition to the lack of breakfast, there was another problem which made our stay uncomfortable. We were put into a girls dorm with only one other guest in. She was a long term tenant who had sectioned off a corner of the room with blankets. This was fine apart from she told us off for being too loud when we had just checked in at 8:30pm, before lights out. The problems continued when the next day when she blasted music for hours then watched a whole film without her headphones in, only to ask us to be quiet again at 9pm when we got back from dinner. I asked her to stop playing her music and we would try to be quieter. The next day we received an apology note and gift from her and we forgot about the incident, despite her continuing to play music. On the following day she decided to have a go at us for not giving her a thank you gift for her apology, which we never asked for! She ended up being very rude and sarcastic. Her attitude towards us completely ruined our stay here and we would not return. Other guests have told us she has made people leave or change rooms. My advice to the hostel would be to ask her to leave. She is ruining your reputation. Without her this would have been a 4 star review with breakfast as the only downfall (as we managed to log into the WiFi from the cafe below). I’d happily return and recommend this place to others if this girl were not there.

  Be careful with you deposit

  05 Apr 2019

  If you have to leave at morning, be careful,that you get your deposit back. They know that I have to leave at 7.15am, and reception should open 7am. But no staff at reception. So I din't get my deposit. 😕
