“The location is a real win, putting you steps from street art and Chew Jetty; the street food market right outside is a bonus. While there can be hiccups with the automated check-in, the staff seems responsive in resolving them. I found the clean, functional rooms, particularly the comfortable beds, a solid value for George Town.”
