This hotel is in a great location. Very close to transit and lots of food and activities. It was very clean. Good value.
Happy from Singapore (8/10)
good for solo travelers as the room is tiny. There is space under the bed to slot in your luggage. The toilet is small but very clean and functional. Great location but a bit hard to find initially because it does not have a hotel entrance as it is in an office-like building tucked in the corner of some small alley. Check-in was easy. Although I was overcharged, the hotel manager was honest and refunded me the additional charge.
Robert from United States (7/10)
Small room that met my needs. Very clean. Great central location. Very close to my tour pickup locations.
