I had a most comfortable stay at 68 Church Street. The hotel is located in a recently renovated heritage house in a quiet yet central location. The room has a sleek, white design with high ceilings. This, combined with a powerful AC allows for a cool feeling. The premises are kept spotless. The common area has a fridge, microwave and water kettle. Self check-in instructions via WhatsApp were clear and friendly and the staff do their best to make guests' stay as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful self check-in hotel. The check-in process was smooth and super easy, with clear instructions provided. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a long day. I loved the simple yet elegant design, and everything I needed was already prepared. The location was quiet and convenient, making it a peaceful getaway. Although there was no front desk, the service was still excellent through online support. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely choose this hotel again next time. Highly recommended for a hassle-free, cozy experience! 🩷

    Great hostel in the midst of town. Rather quiet compared to others. Lovely staff! Talkative if you want, private if needed. They give a lot of tips in and outside Georgetown and help with anything when asked. The whole place is rather large and relaxed. Would recommend!
