Reviews
James from United States (8/10)
Located just a short walk from the subway near many local restaurants and convenience stores. Excellent for exploring the city. Excellent value tucked away in a quiet spot.

Wouter from Belgium (8/10)

Friendly staff
Ching-yao from Netherlands (7/10)
I like the location as it was close to many must-see sites, no matter if you went North or South. There was plenty of public transport, including airport limousine bus.
The room was decent, airco was placed perfectly (right above the bed, but it blew away from the bed), water pressure and temperature was great (handheld & rain shower)
Bugspray is provided, as well as a fire extinguisher, an emergency line & wall mount in case you have to escape through the window. Two waste bins were provided with extra waste bags underneath the existing one.
Although I thought I wouldn't like the 4 mini towels (40x80cm) it was actually fine. Even if you didn't request cleaning, you would get 4 clean towels a day (& 2 bottles of water)Bat from Mongolia (7/10)

Good condition, everything worked well.
Beverly from United Kingdom (8/10)
The hotel is quite nice and fairly clean. The aircon is a lifesaver in the heat. The bathroom is a decent size and they provide you with fresh towels and bottled water every day. You get quite a lovely view from the windows on the higher floors.The staff are very polite and friendly. It's based in a good location, quite close to several train stops and tourist attractions.

Handy location centrally located. A bit challenging to find initially. It is a budget option, for the price is reasonable value. helpful that you can leave luggage before or after checkout. Washing facilities good
