Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Room was very small at 10 sq meters. Bed was against the wall and raised. Under the bed was the only place for your suitcase. If you needed to access your belongings you had to pull your bag out. I now have a sore back. The bath room was very compact, with a toilet that only flushed about every 3 times. The sign said to push firmly, so that must get them out of fixing it. The room didn’t have any windows. The good things are a very quiet room, great for sleep-ins. The hotel was very close to the main district area and bus depot. Would not recommend this hotel.
