I stayed for 2 nights at the Galileo Guest house and really enjoyed my stay there. Never had had a more helpful host in all my travels. The location is great in the middle of China town and you can walk within 10 minutes to all the major sights. It is a guest house with a very individual touch and... More

stayed here 3N while visiting the city. The owner/manager/worker was very nice and showed us what to see on a map. We stayed in the second room from the entrance and very much enjoyed our stay. The location was great, far enough from Jonker street to avoid most of the noise, but close enough so that its a comfortable walk.... More

This little guest house provided a safe, comfortable, quiet and refreshingly cool escape from the city. The owner did everything imaginable to ensure that our stay was a good one. He was incredibly sweet, always smiling and even provided complimentary tea/coffee/toast. Unbelievably clean shower/bathroom facilities with plenty of hot water. Located within reasonable walking distance to restaurants, bars, heritage sights... More

That night at 4.41 am, I was woken up by water dripping onto my face. I got up and found that the overhead... More

I love this hotel. Strategic location, bathroom is clean, desktop in room free to use, unlimited tea & coffee. However, it's a bit expensive to me because I'm still a student. I really recommend this hotel to those who want stay near Jonker street. :)

Located at a very strategic and quiet street - near to Jonker Street and Stadhuys. In additional, the street and the interior installation are very well preserved. It keeps the historical atmosphere with a balance of modern and well-maintained facilities. There is also a bar next to the guest house and having the locals chilling out there amplifies the entire... More
