I recently stayed at this property and had a very positive experience. The location was excellent, offering easy access to local attractions and amenities. The guest assistant was incredibly friendly and helpful. The self check-in procedure is easy to follow, smooth and pleasant. The facilities were well-maintained and offered everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Given the quality of the accommodations and the level of service, it was great value for money. The property itself was new, which added to the overall positive impression. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Absolutely everything! The place was new, clean, lovely finishings and great lighting. The air conditioning worked well. They offered free coffee and snacks every day for guests. They allowed early check in when our room was ready and all the staff were so lovely. We actually moved from a previous accomodation that was terrible and we were so happy when we arrived to Amore Stay. Fantastic location, wonderful owners. Would definitely stay again!

All hostels in Butterworth

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
