The hotel was very clean and had several useful amenities. There is a Starbucks on the main floor for a morning coffee and snack. The nearest train station was a few minute iwalking away and bus stops are outside the building. The location couldn’t be better for shops, food , market and a few temples and shrines also within walking distance.
