The hotel is conveniently located very close to bus stop, shopping lots and a restaurant. Whilst the room size is compact, it is good enough for the purpose of sleeping at night. It has a small fridge, but lacking of microwave and freezer. Hot water for shower is instantly available, no need to wait.

Sure - i opted for the smallest/cheapest room which was also window-less but my reason for staying was my partner as having an op & i was from out of town. Ticked every box & very good value for money 🙂

It was fresh & clean, the bed was comfortable, the room is small but ok for a stop over, tea & coffee & nice smelling soap & shampoo was a nice touch. The only thing was the air conditioner which was a littld noisy, we couldnt turn it off but J guess thats because theres no windows in the room. We enjoyed our stay & thank the staff fod their hospitality 🙂
