Reviews of Hollywood Guesthouse

It was close to the center and in a very quite neighborhood. The owner/manager is very nice guy. He can arrange the taxi also if you need.

There was very little natural light. The room was small. There was a family with kids that made noises sometimes. The "guest house" in the name is a bit confusing. You just rent a room in a building, there is no reception, you will need to contact the owner to hand over the room to you.

Good location and fine for a place to get settled and started in Guyana. Airconditioning and bed were good. Provided tea and coffee.

Wasn't really able to hang out on the balcony so mostly confined to room when there.

The property is centrally located, but tucked away from the main streets. Felt very safe as you are surrounded by government buildings all of which are watched over by round the clock security staff. Not imposing, but their presence made me feel safer. Rooms are spacious and we were grateful to have the option of air conditioning when it was too hot to sit outside on the balcony. Robert is a great host; not at all intrusive and we were grateful for this patience and helpful advice whenever we had any queries. Highly recommend.

The property could have been cleaner. There were some areas of seemingly long standing dust such as the fan in the living room, doors etc could've done with a wipe down - appreciate that the city is dusty and so this is something to consider. However, the main areas: bathroom, kitchen surfaces and living room are an acceptable standard. Facilities/provided amenities could also have been better. However, the most frustrating thing about our stay was the lack of surfaces: hooks, hangers and shelving on which to hang our things. 3 hangers isn't enough and I never realised how much I personally need a bedside table/shelf (to hold my phone, book and a glass of water etc). Also as an Airbnb/apartment rental would have expected to be provided with basic cleaning items: toilet cleaner, washing up liquid, a broom with dust pan and brush to clean up after ourselves. We stayed longer than typical guests but the place started to feel very messy and space was too limited for tooth brushes; make up; hanging wet towels etc.

I loved the location of the Hollywood Guesthouse as it was close to the event i attended in the area.

Self-catering apartment was spacious and comfortable, offered to me on a free upgrade, greatly appreciated,

No hot water at the bathroom sink.

Most things

Very accommodating and flexible staff. The accommodation is value for money in a country which is rather expensive at the moment. Ultimately, it is the country itself that needs to develop more so that it can offer value for money accommodation especially in connectivity. I am certain that this will come about in the years to come with proper governance.

The country infrastructure is still under developed so getting around requires a lot of walking, waiting and expense in the heat or rain. It will take time perhaps for this to develop and then perhaps the country can flourish as a tourist destination.

Central location and extremely comfortable bed. The host was also very helpful and helped me do my laundry.

I loved my stay: clean, comfortable. VERY big bed. Hot shower, microwave, freezer and hair dryer. Loved the location because it’s in a quieter (and SAFER) area in Georgetown. Robert has helped me with everything possible. He really went above and beyond (picked me up at the airport, helped me when i realized i needed to go to Cherri airport rather than Ogle!!!! Paid for my taxi for me because I didn’t have enough cash for the rest of my travels…). He is a very friend, caring and considerate person. I would totally recommend Hollywood guesthouse!!!

Wonderful staff. Comfortable rooms that were very good value for money. I enjoyed the place so much on my first visit that I returned later for another three nights

Stay was great, around a lot of places to visit.

Small, simple room. I don't know if I would recommend it for two people (i was in room #5). Hot water, a/c, and wifi all worked well. Room had netflix, streaming apps as well. Walkable location, quiet neighborhood at night and in the morning. Walls are a little thin if you have noisy neighbors.

there isn't anywhere outside to sit or anywhere other than the bed in the room to sit. having somewhere else to sit on the property would have been nice.

The communication and helpfulness of the owner was fantastic. Prior to my arrival he let me know how I could get to the lodging by taking a mini-bus from the airport to the central market, and then connecting to a 2nd bus (about $2 vs. taking a taxi for $50 - I was traveling light; should have taken ear plugs for the bus ride). On the day before I came (!), I wanted to arrange a bus trip to Paramirabo, leaving the next morning, and within minutes of my arrival to the lodging, he had taken care of the arrangements (Notes: One is now supposed to previously make an electronic arrangement for a visa to Suriname, but I was unable to do this. However, at the border, it was done for me ($53 total). Also, there is a ferry crossing ($15?) that was not included in the $100 round trip bus fare, where I made the payment directly to the ferry boat operator). The lodging had air con and a fridge (and kitchen) and wifi. Though I was just there to sleep, I thought the lodging was very satisfactory.

Good central location. The room I was given was more like an apartment, there was access to a living room and full kitchen, which was nice to cut up some local fruit from the market. The room was clean and cozy, with a huge bed. You should always be aware when walking around Georgetown, but the location of this apartment felt pretty safe. It's right next to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Office of the President, so it felt secure and was quiet at night. Definitely read the other reviews for tips on finding the place and checking in.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the tv was not that useful, which isn't a big deal. My only complaint was that the only outlet in the room was behind a massive wardrobe and not accessible. I had to charge my phone in the bathroom, which was inconvenient. The owner should add an extension cord in the room.

My stay at the Hollywood Guesthouse was fantastic! Robert was a wonderful host, and the place was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The internet worked flawlessly, and Robert even arranged a shuttle from the airport for me. He also provides a small phone for guests to use, which is convenient for calling taxis. I highly recommend this guest house to anyone!

Great location!
