What recent reviews say

Jackie and his staff earn consistent praise for warmth and local knowledge, and the Georgetown location near restaurants, bars, and bus station is genuinely hard to beat on budget. However, stay only if you can live with shared bathrooms that sometimes go unattended, small rooms that catch street noise, and pre-war building quirks like missing windows or glass.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Guests consistently praise the central Georgetown location within walking distance of food and attractions, plus a clean, comfortable house and attentive host. Street noise from the adjacent hawker stall can be noticeable, especially on weekends, which may bother light sleepers.
