Facilities: Good Hygiene: Clean Environment: Large Service: The boss is very nice. The location is very good and convenient to go anywhere. The room is very clean and there is enough hot water. It is a youth hostel that only accepts girls. It is great and I will go again!

Very satisfied, the room is spacious and bright. It is very friendly to tourists who don't dare to stay in a hotel alone and need to stay in a hostel. The owner is also very welcoming. Highly recommended!

The facilities are not the latest, but the host was very kind. I think the clientele is limited to women, so I was able to stay safely even as a solo traveler. There are no personal lockers, so I recommend bringing a lock to secure your bed (although I didn't see any suspicious people there). There are lots of delicious restaurants nearby!

A very spacious and clean hotel with a good location, close to many clustered scenic spots, and very convenient for travel. The downside is that there is a problem with the socket panel, and it is not very convenient for everyone to charge.

Good hostel for lady solo travelers! The location is awesome, you can explore George Town by walking from the hostel. You can fill up drinking water from hostel as well. The owner was very nice with me, she gave me a lot of information about traveling there. I think they just need lockers for keeping stuff.

The room is spacious and clean. I have roommates who are in tune with each other. Everyone is sharing interesting lines with each other. The air conditioner will be turned on on time. The public area is very warmly decorated.

The location is very good, in the city center, very convenient for travel. There is 711, bus station, and vegetable market right outside. Jean is very enthusiastic and provided a lot of help. I stayed here for three days. My roommates are very cute. We can have in-depth conversations, find delicious food and explore nature together. I highly recommend staying here.

The beautiful female boss and the excellent geographical location make it like returning to your own private home. It is very suitable for sisters traveling alone. We met many sisters from all over the world there. I hope I can get together again next time.
