    Swings and pillows was a great hostel. The staff were friendly and great with communication. The rooms were clean but some have no windows which is fine if you are staying a few nights but Good air con. The communal area was very nice, clean and was provided free tea and coffee. I would definitely recommend to anyone passing by George Town to stay here.

    Really nice little hostel, had a communal kitchen and area to chill out and was in a really good central location! However it was incredibly noise, even someone just walking upstairs would echo though to every room so constant creaking throughout the night made it difficult to sleep. Also had no toilets/shower area upstairs meaning you had to go downstairs in the middle of the night which became quite an annoyance

    Very nice place to stay for a few nights. The rooms are clean and the host is very kind. The chil area has drinking water, coffee and tea available. The check-in is very easy and I felt safe during my stay. The beds were a bit on the small size, I am (1,77), but the room was good.

    Fantastic new business. Self check in all done via wassap. No breakfast in price, but tea and coffee supplied, and most days a loaf of bread for toasting in the common area, alongside fridge freezer and microwave. Owner often pops in too... very nice guy

    An sich ein sehr schönes und einfaches Hotel. Die Ausstattung ist modern und sauber. Wir hatten das Glück eine der wenigen Zimmer mit einem Fenster zu bekommen, leider waren diese aber so schlecht isoliert, dass man ALLES von der Straße gehört hat (vor dem Hotel ist eine Straße und man hatte nachts das Gefühl die Autos fahren durchs Hotelzimmer), dabei bin ich normalerweise wirklich nicht lärmempfindlich. Deshalb kann ich das Hotel leider nicht weiter empfehlen.

    Situato in posizione comoda vicino alla old-town, l'ostello è pulito e confortevole. Il proprietario, Andy, è simpatico e molto disponibile. L'ostello dispone di una zona comune con the, acqua e caffè gratuiti, un frigo dove riporre del cibo e un microonde. Tutta la struttura è gestita con grande cura. Consigliatissimo

    No staff at all, fully self check in which I really didn't like. This also wasn't clear at all when booking. The room was ok. The shared toilet/shower setup is terrible. The shower just causes everything in the bathroom to get soaked. Really poor facilities overall. Far better accommodation options for similar pricing in way better locations in Georgetown.

    Nice host. Nice location - rooms are clean new and bright. We got a free night stay after staying for 7 days. Thanks Andy!

    High value stay. Clean, cozy and full of travellers. Andy is the nicest host ever!

    Nice clean hostel, I had a queen room (no window) then switched to twin room (window). Both rooms were clean and spacious, with towels provided. I preferred having a window, even if there’s a little noise from the street. Walls are thins but all guests were respectful and mostly quiet at night. Bathroom is downstairs and it would be good if there was at least a toilet upstairs. Host is very helpful. Location is good, but next time I would prefer to be closer to Chulia St

    Very clean and comfortable room. Despite the bathrooms being shared, they were always quite clean. Young and vibrant place. Excellent location. Recommend.

    Clean hostel, great location. The lady who is there, constantly cleaning, makes the hotel a great place to stay and she is very friendly too! Great asset!
