“From what I gather, this hotel presents a smart trade-off: compact, well-maintained rooms (some with kitchenettes) at a price that's hard to argue with, especially given its location near transport links. The staff seems genuinely helpful, which can make all the difference. If you prioritize value and a decent base for exploring, it's a solid option, just be mindful of potential noise.”

The train station was very close to the building, which I found helpful. I also noticed bus stops nearby. That was convenient. The air conditioning worked well, SO THAT was a PLUS during the summer heat.

The bed was shorter than expected. It felt cramped. I noticed the electrical wiring was not working properly at all. The ceiling lights flickered when all were on, AND it affected the hairdryer.
