Nice to stay in a small independently run hotel with a dedicated small staff, who you can ask anything, from to recommending restaurants to arranging a service wash. They have great local knowledge and want you to get the best out of your stay. The place is relaxed and home like and full of history. You will be staying in a house that still has the intact original design of a 19th century Chinese shop-house, packed with objects from that time. Bathrooms small but you can get clean effortlessly with modern facilities. The You le Yuen is situated on the quietest end of Love Lane away from the bright lights and hustle which you can walk to in a couple of minutes but gratefully retreat from at the end of the evening.

Quiet, refined and beautiful. The owner is lovely and very helpful and accomodating. It is clean and quiet and perfect for those seeking rest in a cultural heritage property. Close to everything. Highly Reccommend.

It was in a great location. Our host was super helpful with tourism information. The room was really unique and cool

Stayed in July 2025

The carpet in the room was run down, the room was hot and took hours to cool down enough to be comfortable, the bathroom grouting looked moldy. There are two flights of steep stairs to get to the room. The staff will help you with luggage but be sure you can go up steep stairs. I didn't take breakfast.

The location, the charm of an old historical building

aircon wasn’t great, we had them two level room, and off bed had been downstairs, that would have been better. shower didn’t work when arrived, and butgun attachment was open- shower was fixed, but water kept leaking over bathroom floor.

nice room, in a fun part of town- close to fort Cornwallis and in a street with nightlife- which couldn’t be heard in our room. there is a nice communal area, but in reality no one uses it. staff friendly, but not super attentive. Lady kept pushing a tour they organise- despite us telling her we had a week, not 2 days.

I had a hard time finding someone to check in and check out. No one was at the front desk.

Very cute boutique hotel with cute decorations.

Beautifully restored Georgetown Villa with on 4 rooms. It was private, quiet and in a perfect location to explore as a Base. Jane is a fabulous host and I will be returning again soon! Breakfast was amazing, I had the choice of Western / Local breakfast. The local was amazing!! Definitely recommend this stay :)

Four day stay in Georgetown. Great authentic shophouse which felt like it was your private house. Excellent central location but very quiet.

Mattress was super hard, tap in the bathroom was constantly dripping which was quite loud and as I had the room to the street it was a bit noisy. Only could sleep with ear plugs.

Beautiful old Chinese shop house in an amazing location in love Lane

The bathroom needs clean grout and silicone

Since we are in our 70's, the stairs did present a challenge for us.

Loved the location, Jane was an amazing host with valuable info on sights to see, where to eat etc. Very, very clean. Old world charm Enjoyed our stay.

We stayed in the north suite and the WiFi was not strong enough to reach there. Also there is a lot of noise from the street so one can only sleep with ear plugs. I guess the other rooms should much better in that regard though.

Very original place and the location is perfect. The hosts were very nice and helpful.

The stairs are steep although there is a landing after the first floor to rest if you have a heavy suitcase. The shower/ toilet room is small but functional . The room is a duplex and the entrance is on the second floor. The staircase down to the living room and shower room only has a handrail half of the way down and it can be tricky on the final section, especially as the wooden floor is polished.. There are no views from the room but this keeps it cool and peaceful.

Good location and an experience of staying in an authentic building full of character in the old town. Most places are easily walkable within 15 to 20 minutes. We had the room at the far back and it was very quiet and peaceful. I am a light sleeper and it was ideal. Jane was nice and welcoming.We would be happy to return but with lighter luggage!! Recommend for a great stay.

Wifi would cut out from time to time, and was not very strong. Would also appreciate some complementary water in the room to avoid asking for it from reception.

Helpful staff and easy check-in; Jane was very accommodating to my late arrival. Very comfortable and quiet. The location is also away from the rest of the noise/activity on Love Lane, so it’s a great place to return to after a night out.

The coffee - please use fresh coffee beans instead of instant powder coffee

The traditional style and the location- the room with the balcony - especially when the roof was open. The ladies at the reception

Very welcoming owner, beautiful house, furniture etc. In a quiet part of Love Lane. Owner helped us with reservations and gave very good recommendations. You should also check the store with lovely designed clothes. Highly recommended!

Our room on the street side was noisy as the owner warned us so avoid that one if possible or just bring earplugs and wear yourself out so you can sleep through whatever noise comes down the street. Wonderful place really.

The owner was very helpful and the property very authentic and beautiful. The location was perfect for exploring Georgetown and resting mid day.

Providing a gluten free breakfast was challenging. Once we decided against add-on tours, i felt the host became less attentive.

The location was very convenient. Character-filled property. Comfortable room. Although close to a touristy part of Georgetown, the location was surprisingly quiet.
