We got a double room with aircon and bathroom for RM100. Nice clean room. My gripe is with the rude receptionist. you cant get away with rude service with so many other back packers around. They really do not deserve your money. Rather go down Love lane and check into Crystal or Reggae.

We stayed here for 3 nights and everything is good in here. Very cleand. Good service. 25RM for double romm with fan. Good location.

With single fan rooms for RM18 at the original Banana, and RM25 double fan rooms at their newer establishment, this place is the quintessential budget backpackers' haven. If... More

The rooms were clean and spacious, the air conditioning was very good and the beds were comfortable. The showers were clean and we never had to queue for them. It's in a really good location in the heart of china town and within walking distance of most sights in Georgetown. However, the walls are made of the same stuff as... More

we stayed here for 2 nights in a private ensuite room. We dont normally stay in hotels and are budget travellers so this is quite expensive and a change for us. We were travelling with a friend who cannot stay in hostels! This was a great treat for us but its quite pricey I think. That aside, its a beautiful... More
