    There not many options for booking at Georgetown. The only thing didn’t like, there was no hot shower there is the a/c. But there is a fan..

    Julian was very friendly. The location was great. There is grocery 5 min walk and farmers market 2 min away. The city was very safe overall. There was a refrigerator. The WiFi worked great. I really liked Georgetown overall.

    Good for a "cheap" and quick stay in Georgetown
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Backpackers Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room was not exactly clean and the price to high for what you get. But again, the prices are a Guyana problem. It didn't help that there was a karaoke party on Friday, but I was warned and it stopped at midnight. So all in all it was more or less as I had expected it.

    Julians is a low end guest house in Georgetown. This sounds bad, but you have to know that in Guyana you either go all in and hit the high end or you stick to the cheapos and then get the low end. The country has an inflation problem that blows up prices and no tourist industry, so choices are limited. With this background, Julians was OK. It is located in the middle of all sights (Botanical Garden, National Park, Center), has a bar, and you can find some food and supermarkets around. Julian can explain everything to you, he is a nice guy.

    I stayed in a backpackers room and it wasn't that comfortable... The mattress is worn out, the face basin is tilting down, the ceiling and walls are dusty, the place smells old but that's understandable due to the type of infrastructure.The place needs a little refurbishing though, just to make it appears more comfortable... The construction is poor

    I like that it is situated in a decent area where you could get access to food. The staff is great. The water and WiFi are always accessible. The toilet and shower are in good condition. The place is secure

    The room was hot - the window opened onto a busy alley so the curtain needed to be pulled shut which stopped any breeze coming in. Also the bathroom seemed partially renovated - the water connection to the toilet was loose, the shower knob had come off, and there were large grooves and a hole in the floor instead of a grate over a drain.

    Price, location, security. The owner was readily available to fix maintenance issues and answer questions.

    Toilet flushing did not work at all times, you needed to try to flush it several times until it worked. When I arrived there was a huge cockroach in the bathroom, but with the help of the trash bin I was able to throw it outside.

    I didn't have high expectations as I read the previous reviews. The room was good size, had mosquito net on top of the bed. Had a table, chair and a fan. Could have been a bit cleaner but was okay for the few nights. Overall the stay was okay.

    Julian's guesthouse represented a good value in Georgetown. The price was good. Jillian was very honest and friendly. The guest house was well located close to a main road but not noisy.

    The room was extremely basic and the bed was essentially a foam “mattress” on some makeshift planks of wood. You could feel the boards every time you tried to sleep. The water pressure was also very poor so difficult to wash your hair.

    The location was central and the main city sites are in walking distance. It was secure.

    The bedroom ceiling was leaking and the floor was often wet. The shower didnt´get hot enough On friday they have a karaoke at the restaurant upstairs and it was very noise

    The Guesthouse has a great central location, near, street markets, supermarkets, restaurants, shopping mall and banks. It´s also very short walking distance from most of the sightseeings in the city. The room was very basic but ok fora short term stay. The staff helped me with all the information I needed and called a taxi for me to go to the airport.

    There was no electricity for a couple of hours for the last two days I’ve stayed here although it is not the owner’s fault. The room is pleasant but not quite clean based on my standard. The internet connection was quite poor.

    the place is centrally located between the public transport and the tourist attractions in the city. The owner was very accommodating and helpful.

    Had some noisy Cubians in the room beside mine for the 5 days of my 7days visit.... karaoke singing day & nigh...& super loud TV... had a chat with the owner & was moved to a different room on the same floor with empty rooms both sides of me...... My holidays was from October 8th-27th & was thinking of extending my stay there by another week but I decided not to...& made other arrangements. Great Location/external surroundings/ quiet externally... the price was affordable if u don't wanna spend your money on just accommodations 👍🏾 The owner Julian is very friendly & accommodating as much as he can🙏🏽🙏🏽.. The place needs some upgrades & ground rules needs to be clearly defined. Cheers

    The hardwood lacquered floors in the hallways should be carpeted instead because it's noisy & can be heard when anyone is walking through the hallways & not a good experience when you're super tired & trying to get a good night's sleep from the eventful day..... the Walls needs to be sound proofed...& the doors @ the bottom needs to be sealed which will help with to reduce the noise..
