    convenient location
    thin walls

    The guesthouse is located just steps away from Chulia Street, making it incredibly convenient for accessing local attractions and food stalls.

    The walls are quite thin, so noise from adjacent rooms or the shared living space can be disruptive for light sleepers.

    easy location
    effective air conditioning
    disruptive noise
    kitchen disturbance

    The location near attractions made exploring easy, but the noise from the kitchen disrupted my sleep. The air conditioning in the dorm room was a relief from the heat of the day.

    Comfort in the heart of George Town

    Nestled in a prime location, The Frame Guesthouse offers modern aesthetics and cozy spaces. The communal areas are perfect for socializing, and the staff, especially John, provide fantastic local recommendations.

    The WiFi was unreliable, making it difficult for important meetings. the noise from other guests at night could be disruptive, especially in the shared dorms.

    central location
    thin walls
    uncomfortable seating

    The property is located right at the heart of the city.

    During my stay, the thin walls were a major issue. I could hear every noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms, which made it impossible to sleep. the lack of curtains on the dorm bed left me feeling exposed, and the seating in the common areas was uncomfortable, with hard benches that weren't inviting at all.

    slow wi-fi
    cramped room

    The 4-Bed Mixed Deluxe Dormitory Room was stylish and had some cozy common areas, which were perfect for relaxing. the room felt cramped, especially with luggage. Wi-Fi was pretty slow, and the attached bathroom could use a good cleaning. Still, the staff were super friendly and the location was a major plus—it's right in the heart of everything!

    great location
    clean facilities
    cozy common areas
    noise disruption

    The Frame Guesthouse is perfectly located on Chulia Street, making it super easy to explore local attractions. Just steps away from bus stops and great food stalls, the convenience was fantastic. The minimalist decor gave the place a serene vibe. Shared living spaces felt cozy, especially with the communal coffee and tea options until 11 PM. I enjoyed the daily breakfast with toast and fruit. the noise from the street and nearby mosque was disruptive, especially early in the morning. The shared bathrooms were clean, but the water pressure in the shower could have been better. The bunk light didn’t work in my dorm, making it inconvenient at times. Although my stay was relaxing, I wished there were places to hang towels in the lower bunk. it’s a solid choice for a quiet stay, but light sleepers might want to bring earplugs.

    Great location in the heart of town, perfect for exploring local sites! The social areas are inviting, and I enjoyed the fresh fruit breakfast. perfect for a leisurely start to the day!

    The lack of curtains in the dorm made privacy a bit challenging. and the seating in the common areas could use some comfort improvements.
