I know it’s about budget hotel/hostel but it’s a bit of a ride from the city center. For those of you don’t mind take the bus or public transportation, it’s good. But I’d never come stay here again. I just didn’t realize it’s not convenient riding on bus and train. There’s a lot of road construction. Traffic isn’t that good. The property is located at a outskirt with loads of residential areas. Lots of immigrants. The staff is also short at times in the front desk. I didn’t have a good experience checking in. I have an Asian look but I’m an American so that front desk manager wasn’t so nice to accommodate my check in. He just said I had to do a self check in and really didn’t sound polite or friendly.

A&O Hotel Review** If you're looking for an affordable stay, A&O Hotel delivers on price, but there are some trade-offs to consider. The furnishing inside the rooms is entirely metal, which might not be ideal for families with young children due to safety concerns. Additionally, the hotel tends to be very busy, which can make for a lively but sometimes overwhelming atmosphere. One notable drawback is the elevator situation—there's only one, and it's quite slow, so expect some waiting time, especially during peak hours. If budget is your priority and you don’t mind these inconveniences, it might still work for a short stay.

We went to stay, not knowing the set up was more like a hostel than hotel. Once we finally registered and paid, we went up to our room in a rickety elevator that had graffiti on the outside near the up/down buttons. The hallway was littered with garbage. We arrived at our room and discovered scuffs on the wall, a window so drafty the curtains were moving while the window was shut, and our TV screen was broken. Also, the restroom was outside our room (we assumed was a shared restroom with the room next to us, but it’s just not INSIDE the room). Complained to the staff that we weren’t going to stay on the property due to the conditions. They offered us a different room, but we declined. We did not stay more than 10 minutes, provided name and email address. Ended up staying elsewhere. Called Expedia and the original hotel/hostel refused to reimburse us due to their offering us a different room. Worst hotel experience. Thankfully we have travel insurance so we may have to file a claim to get our $400 back.
