this is just another moneymakingcompany. there is no heart, no familiar atmosphere, or even any kind of service for you as I do expect it from a real guesthouse. The Red Inn just has small rooms ( to sell more of them ), thin walls ( to keep it cheap ). The kitchenarea is next to the rooms and the... More

Booked well in advance for a private room - and received excellent service, in common with many of the reviews here. Staff keep the premises immaculately clean, and are invariably courteous and helpful. The location is very convenient, with Little India and its restaurants around the corner. It's also just opposite the Goddess of Mercy temple, a Ganesha shrine, and... More

My husband and I spent three nights here while we were applying for visas to Thailand. The location of this guesthouse was great. We could walk to most sites in Georgetown from here easily. There was also good hawker food and some small bars very close. The staff at red inn was wonderful and they were very helpful in assisting... More

I stayed here last month and had a very professional, warm and stress-free experience. The staff helped me with directions, gave me pointers on what to visit and provided a great free breakfast. The room was clean, comfortable and the way the beds were set up made me feel like I had lots of privacy. I had my own bed-light... More

My fiance and I had an emergency Saturday night and needed a hotel room. We walked in around 4 AM and Amber helped us with our stay. She even offered to push back our check out time since we were arriving so late. We were so thankful for such a nice experience w/ easy check-in when we needed a help... More

I will never come back to this guesthouse again!! I was looking forward to returning, but the new manager was unprofessional and very rude. There was a problem with our booking and we were questioning why there was a mistake on the hostleworld website. She took it as of we don't want to stay and proceed to get a major... More

My friend stayed at this guesthouse last year in one of the dorm areas and was excited to return. When my friend and I arrived at Red Inn, we were told that there were no twin rooms.
