The place looks like somewhere you to take someone for a quickie. The walls were dirty and towels had rust stains on it and poorly ventilated.

Simple, comfortable accommodation
I did find my fan room a bit noisy because the windows weren't glazed, so I upgraded to an AC room. I enjoyed my stay.

1. Was greeted by the property owner with a complete disregard for customer service. 2. rude and unpleasant. through my partner's native id card across the table stating that they "look too young in the photo" 3. not only was it disgusting and all corners of pure nastiness, there was some major safety concerns in part structural and sanitation 4. when we decided to go for a walk to get away from the mess of a room we were placed in. Upon exiting he screamed from the balcony on how he'd like for my to enter the code and unlock the gate. That i was in fact familiar with and not complicated at all. When all he had to do was provide the gate access code.

Upgrade to the A/C units.
The stay was good. The place is very reasonably priced. The backpacker's rooms are not very comfortable. Upgrade to the A/C units if you want to be able to sleep o/w is just too hot.

Great location and good value for the money. Julian is extremely helpful arranging trips, taxi, where to eat, etc. The biggest help from Julian is to tell you approximately what things such as taxi rides should cost to avoid being overcharged.

Great affordable place to stay very close to downtown Georgetown. Room was comfortable and clean and Julian and his staff stayed up to meet our late arrival (11:30 pm). Favorite amenity was 3rd floor shaded balcony for morning coffee - fun watching street activity as locals get started on their day.

Just what I needed
Julian was most helpful - giving me tips on safety, changing some U.S. dollars in a pinch, helping me procure a flight to Kaieteur, arranging taxis as needed, inviting me to a party thrown for friends on the veranda. The accommodations are modest, but the staff's personalized willingness to make the stay a good one and the affordable cost made this a place I would return to (I note I was traveling light and solo - and looking to experience the real Georgetown rather than being sequestered away in a plush hotel). The balconies/verandas are nice, the proximity to Roti Hut (a favorite) was good, and the relative closeness to downtown Georgetown was key. The area is a bit iffy after dark, but I found that keeping one's wits about and being observant can get one through. Overall, this is a very good spot from which to operate if you are looking to get a real feel for Georgetown, as I was across the span of six nights, or needing a quick crash pad if landing in Georgetown and heading on to Suriname or the interior of Guyana.

Decent Guesthouse, Excellent Location
Pretty good guesthouse especially for the price. Room/bathroom needs some refurbishing, but all the necessities are there. Guesthouse lies in the heart of Georgetown. Staff are really helpful. There's a bar downstairs below the rooms where you can meet other people and the owner usually hangs out.

Simple is good...
Needed to check in early due to an early flight arrival, which was no problem for Julian and his staff. Comfortable, friendly feel about the place for my six night stay. And Julian was very helpful in getting things sorted to for my 3am taxi departure for the airport. Had a very enjoyable stay...

Julian offers help, but not with hot water
Other reviews talk only of Julian and how helpful he is to which I agree. However, nowhere in the listing does it mention there is no hot water! The restaurant area is kept tidy and nice area to hang out. The rooms are small and old, but come with a microwave and refrigerator. My first night I was the only guest so place was quiet.

Julian's was excellent for me. I require very little. One of the most important things I want is a helpful and friendly staff. Julian provided that to the hilt.

Excellent and friendly hotel
Excellent hotel, very friendly staff, beers are $1.50 US, rooms are very clean, AC works, television works, very relaxing and safe atmosphere. Julian the owner provides as close to private personal service as you can get, from organize taxi service, to outside city and country tours, to providing insights on the nightlife and best places to visit. You almost don't feel like you are in a different country...

Best budget hotel with friendly and helpful staff.
The room is clean and comfortable, and well maintained. Definitely a 5 star rating for the price I paid. Julian, the hotel owner, is always so helpful and always happy to assist with my needs. You can rely on his information on local tourism. The hotel has also a well stocked bar, where you can hang around and always find some friendly people to chat with. I have everything I need from this place, and I will make this my accommodation whenever I come over to Guyana. Thank you Julian for the wonderful stay.

Great deal!
Small but comfortable room. Having a fridge and microwave made meals workable. I loved the chest of drawers for storing personal items. The T.V worked great but local channels operator changed the program just when the vice presidential debate started. Was not happy about that. That had nothing to do with the guest house. Fan and A/C worked great. Great lighting as well with reliable wifi service Julian was very helpful in providing assistance with what ever I asked. The cleaners do not come into your room unless you asked them to clean when you are ready. No hot water but the tap water is warm due to the sunshine. Tea and coffee is free daily. The restaurant cooks dinner when many guests are in house.
