Lift entrance is too narrow and it’s so difficult to walk in with luggages and backpack which I was very struggling for this issue. My room was very comfortable and clean but it’s quite noisy during night because of central place.

this hotel is fine. location is good. It’s clean and in reasonably good shape. However there is a very loud disco in the same building or nearby. The music goes from 9 PM to 2 AM at night. Even with earplugs in and the air conditioner on I could hear it very clearly, and it woke me up literally shakevthe music note
