We had an average stay for the three nights that we were here. Easy to walk to popular locations such as Love Lane and there is a shop next door providing laundry and travel services. The aesthetic of the guesthouse was cool. It’s minimalistic and ideal for Instagram pictures if that’s your thing. We had a private room with a shared bathroom. There was always hot water and the bathroom facilities didn’t get too busy so it meant we never had to wait for the toilet or shower. It doesn’t appear that the guesthouse has a cleaner which is a necessity. There was dirty laundry in bin bags in the hallway for the whole time we stayed. The ground floor and first floor toilet area started to really smell awful towards the end of our stay. And a lot of the toilets kept getting blocked which was gross. It didn’t bother us too much, but make sure to bear in mind that everything echos in the guesthouse - people walking up and down the stairs, using the bathroom, talking and chilling in the social areas. I think they do provide ear plugs if you need them. The staff’s customer service was pretty poor and they were not friendly or helpful at all. It’s very disappointing when you stay somewhere where you feel like the staff simply don’t care about their customers and can’t be bothered to provide basic customer service skills. Also, we were not provided with towels when we checked in as they had “run out”. We were told “can you not wait until the morning” for towels however, we explained that we needed them so we could use the bathroom facilities after checking in (shower after a long day of travelling). The woman behind the desk reluctantly gave us two small towels that she had which were poor quality and had lots of stains. We finally found some proper bath towels the following evening to use. Although it was a cheap stay and good location, we probably wouldn’t stay again due to the unfriendly atmosphere.

We loved our stay here, the frame is a very Minimalistic, industrial vibe! Very cool place! Would definitely recommend. Also they have a coffee shop VERY good coffee Location is also great for food & a few drinks! + 2 minute walk from love lane & night Hawker stalls!

Booked here for New Year’s Eve and ended up staying four nights. There is literally zero vibe here so if you’re looking for a social place not the one. This wasn’t an issue for us though. The hostel is in an amazing local. Super close to love lane. Not a far walk from the ferry. Lots of street food around. Overall the stay was good. The breakfast goes until noon which is a big plus. It’s basic but really filling at the same time. The rooms were clean as well as the bathrooms. The sheets were a little too stained for me but I am picky that’s why I travel with a silk liner. The air con was great. The staff were quite helpful in helping us get around. The downsides: The wifi would cut out quite a bit. This happened a lot at night and was rather annoying. And the hostel is right across the street from a mosque. We were woken up every single morning at 5am and then again at 6am with the noise from the mosque. It was frustrating because after the 5am wake up it would be hard to fall back asleep but you could always count on the 6am to keep you up even longer. I’m sure if the room was a little further back from the street it wouldn’t have overly affected us. Just a warning that it is a little noisy here. We would stay again despite both of these negatives.

It was last minute planning me an my friend. So as we looking place to stay, the frame is the best choice. Easy access to all places and not to mention it literally in centre of town. If you driving, there is parking lot near to love lane but it will cost you 20 ringgit malaysia for overnight. And it’s FREE on Sunday to park at the designated parking area.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The prices are reasonable and the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Comfy mattress and pillow, clean bathrooms and very helpful and friendly staff. Well located to walk to almost all main attractions. I recommend visiting the Mugshot cafe just down the road for excellent coffee and baked goods in an awesome atmosphere.
