Respectful owner

The owner is very hard working and kind. The building is an older condition that I didn't expect but I only stayed one night so it is okay. It is a central location and close to the subway station. 1 error on hotels.com was the check in time says 1pm but it is actually later.

I took a chance upon arriving early in the city, hoping I’d be able to at least leave my bags here before beckon but the host was very gracious and through Google Translate we understood each other and he kindly let me have a room early! The room itself was large with a spacious bathroom and wonderful selection of amenities- including a hot a cold water dispenser, fridge and even a computer! Simple accommodation ideal for a few days in the city. Would stay again.

Not so good stay

Owner does not speak English and was very rude when we forgot to turn off the AC in the room. Got really upset and cut off the power to our AC. The room needs lots of renovations. The bathroom sink is leaking (water all over the floor) and the room has a bad smell. The building was not very well isolated and thus we kept hearing other people, doors closing, etc. We did not had a very restful sleep. Overall quite disappointed.

Nice Hotel in a Nice Area

The hotel is nice, and the front clerk was very helpful. He used an app to translate and talk with me, and was able to give me directions and call a taxi. The room is a little outdated, but for the price, and the convenient area, you really can't do much better!
