I appreciated the option to select my room during check-in, a unique feature. The location is great, near shops, restaurants, and with easy access to buses. Baggage storage was convenient, especially for managing arrival and departure times, i found it practical.

Underwhelming Stay with Disappointing Features

hard bed inadequate soundproofing

This hotel certainly missed the mark on several fronts. The hard bed and uncomfortable pillows made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Street noise was a constant issue because the soundproofing was inadequate. the staff didn't seem particularly enthusiastic.

the hotel boasts a breakfast with hot drinks like coffee and tea , i really appreciated this. fresh towels were provided daily , and so were new pajamas and slippers. the hotel offers luggage storage underneath the beds , a very convenient feature.

the hotel did not offer luggage delivery. i also felt the lighting in the room was quite dim. the duvet was small and it slipped off easily , i found this annoying.

practical stay in central location

room size tour information free coffee convenient entrance

The room was a really nice size. It worked well for my few nights there. i also found lots of information on tours and local restaurants in the lobby. the free coffee and iced coffee were definitely welcome. i also liked having what reminded me of a private entrance to the 7-eleven downstairs. It was very convenient.

the room was dark! there was a window, but it faced a wall, so it didn't let in much natural light. the lighting in the room wasn't great, worse. i'd have preferred a brighter space.

complimentary coffee bus stops street store

the lobby offers complimentary coffee and tea. there are two bus stops directly outside the hotel which was really useful. a 7-eleven store located on the street level is convenient.

the bed mattress wasnt thick enough so the room was not super comfortable.
