Carris

Wonderful!!

Excellent service and very affordable. We will definitely recommend and plan to stay again.

Met my needs.

The host is very nice and helpfull The place is located conveniently near shops and bus or taxi

I stayed at the room at the front of the property which is larger, has access to a deck, comfortable chairs and a table, and lots of natural lighting. The large shower had ample hot water and pressure, and there is a microwave and mini-refrigerator. The AC is ample, and a small fan and emergency lantern are nearby. There may be TV in the future. To address mosquitoes, the manager, Gilbert, provided each night a coil which burned for several hours and there is also a mosquito zapper lamp next to the bed. I felt safe. Gilbert, the owner, lives on the property. There is a 24 hour taxi stand across the street which provides eyes on the street at all times. You pass three doors, two requiring keys, to enter the room. I felt safe from crime while walking to Sheriff Street and several blocks up and down that busy area, but there are no sidewalks and cars drive in the shoulder and at fast speeds, so take care. There are also a large number of stray dogs rambling around, but none was ever aggressive. The location of Carri’s had several advantages: (1) the 24 hour taxi stand across the street, (2) an acceptable restaurant and sports bar “OMG” on the corner. (3) a grocery store which accepts credit cards, “Survival,” just a couple of blocks to the right on Sheriff Street (4) a classy coffee shop with pastries and sandwiches “Blue Bel one block to the left on Sheriff Street (5) a high quality Indian restaurant , Aagman, a few blocks to the left. Again, there are no sidewalks .

Very great

Carris is a small, cozy establishment in a great location for dining and easy access to the city center. Gilbert is a personable host who made us feel welcome and who went above and beyond to accommodate some of our unique needs and airline delay challenges.

Carris is one of the best small hotels I have stayed. It is located in a nice area of George Town with easy access to several food joints and restaurants. It is the host Gilbert’s hospitality and guest service which makes this place so special. He lives in the same property and is always available. He personally took me to do my essential shopping on arrival and made me feel at home. He was there to help with everything I needed My five nights stay in Carris felt like I am visiting a long lost friend’s home rather than a hotel. The facilities are very good. There may other accommodations with five star ratings for amenities, but it is rare to find a five star host like Gilbert.

The host was superfriendly and welcommed me despite my flight was delayed by hours. The room had a good fridge, good temperature and good space. My two main issue was cold water in the shower and that it was very difficult to sleep. The first morning the person on the neighbour room played music, but on the monday night it was full party from one of the neighbour buildings playing music until midnight very loud. Also the taxi station next door brings a lot of music playing cars very late. The bass makes the bed bounce.

Mr Gilbert was excellent host. He helped me with early checkin and also gave all the tipw and tricks around the place. I will definitely recommend him and the place. It was clean and neat. Will come back for sure
