Guest Inn Muntri — Hotel in George Town

The owner was lovely and let us check in at 7am after a long bus ride. We stayed in the double room, the air con was ridiculously cold even on 30 degrees. The next morning our mattress cover came off and I saw a live bed bug. I inspected the mattress and it was evident that the bed bugs had been there a while because the mattress was black in lots of places. I told the guy at reception and he told me to cancel my Agoda booking (which I can't do cos it charges me the full price anyway) and he said there were no rooms to move to and I should email agoda saying that there were no rooms when I arrived in order to get a refund. Overall not too impressed and looks like the bedbugs have been an ongoing problem. Inspect your bed before you stay...

I stay at Guest Inn Muntri for its strategic location. Near good Chinese food places like Tek Sen (Carnarvon Street), Tai Tong (corner Cintra Street/Campbell), Tho Yuen (Campbell Street), etc. Walking distance to Chinese temples at the Kapitan Keling area (thru Stewart Lane); many eateries at Jalan Pinang area. Chulia Street is also a short walk away, where you can see many antique shops, boutique hotels, etc. ||This hostel is reasonably priced and has dorm rooms as well as rooms with attached bathrooms. If there is an issue (like bed bugs), speak to boss Mr Ooi, who will change your rooms and perhaps give a discount. Breakfast? Go for tim sum, thosai, wan tan mee and many other local dishes! The whole heritage area is within...

Might be dangerous even to go past this house on the street. The room full of ants with their highways on the floor and walls, the bed (actually only the remaining metal construction of the mattress) extremely uncomfortable, totally infested with bed bugs, mosquitos are only the cherry on top. Only one of two bathrooms working, not so the shower inside. Since you're forced to go barefoot around, you take the disgusting mud from the floor of the bathroom with you wherever you go. "Breakfast" is only bread (moldy again) and some strange homemade purple stuff. Mold is everywhere on the walls, the whole place is wet and dampy. If you value your health, stay far away from this...
