It could get slightly noisy at times as the room faces the main street, but it was mostly peaceful. Having to share the bathroom did not bother me much as it's right across the hallway anyway. It is right around the corner from Little India and it was so easy to get to all major attractions. Extremely good value for the price. "

- "Pharmacy within premises. Drinking water machines. " - "Property is ok. Near to the hospital. Environment is clean." - "It was pretty good overall. Daily cleaning, sheets, towels were very clean and tidy. Wi-fi is just ok, i can say it was stable but definitely slow, even for video chat. Cafeteria ladies were super nice and helpful, there wasn't many breakfast choice but i think they're good. My room looked bit old and smell damply but cleanliness and tidiness saved it. Location wise, i wouldn't say it is in the centre of georgetown, walking to old town would take half an hour at least or can take a bus. Nice area though, modern side of the town, also close to china town, lots of nice restaurants about 10 minutes of walking distance."
