Reviews

  • Vickers from Vietnam (9/10)

    The location is excellent, 1 minute walk from Sindang metro station and you can get anywhere in the city from there, also easy to get to the property from the airport.
    The rooms are small, but do the job for a better price than the other options. Everything was clean and well kept and the staff (owner?) Was an absolute legend. Facilities are good, tea and coffee is available as well as some little snacks. Washer dryer available too.
    The neighborhood is great, recommend Balladak chicken across the street for some fried chicken.
