Great hotel! Felt like new with the updated rooms and bathrooms - very clean. Breakfast was good, they even made me an iced latte on my way out every morning. The rooms are on the small side, but the cleanliness makes up for it. Lots of restaurants in the area and close to the train to get around easily.

I couldn’t recommend the property for the reasons I checked off as noisy no air-conditioning and limited offerings in the breakfast area as well as tiny tiny rooms. The staff was friendly enough and helpful and it was clean.

Staff were nice and helpful. Good access to transportation. Breakfast was simple, could be more diverse. Rooms were clean. We asked for room cleaning everyday but I realised sheets were not changed. They also gave us bottled water everyday. Overall we had a good stay.

The hotel is only 15 mins walk from the metro station, and is easy to find. There are small grocery stores and hawkers nearby and they open till very late (like 9-10 pm) so it is convenient to buy stuffs even if arrive late. The owner is really friendly and helped us to provide everything we need to settle down smoothly. I also like how the building is decorated with flowers and vines and it gives a cozy vibe peeking out from the window. Overall a good value option with a clean room and all the necessities we need to stay comfortably.

This is a great budget hotel overall. I spent 5 nights there at under $390. The neighborhood is safe with lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance. My room with panoramic view was tiny. The bed was literally a foot away from the door. There wasn't much space for luggages so everything had to go on that small desk or ledge under the TV. The queen size bed fits the whole room from the balcony to the bathroom. The room was well cleaned when I arrived, but no daily housekeeping. On my third day I had to request it, and that was the only time it was done. They made the bed but did not change the sheets. Breakfast was more like afternoon snacks consisting of tomatoes, cucumbers, cheeses, sliced ham or bologna, pita, break rolls cut in halves, boiled eggs, and bunch of condiments. They also had coffee, tea, and 1 type of juice. The food was a pass for me, plus they never started on time. Front desk personnel, were helpful and courteous. Good choice for solo travelers or anyone on a budget.
