Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Room was more roomy than in the pictures and you could tell the hosts pay attention to detail and really went out of their way for the comfort of their guests by providing many various amenities. I stayed in 4 different accom this trip and they were the most well-equipped. Though there is no lift, hosts offered to help carry our luggage. Location is wonderful and it is very near all the yummy food places.

A great startup for a brand new hotel. Maybe just the location and the way going up to the hotel a bit awkward to compare to the rooms as the rooms are very modern-looking and have this luxurious feels to it. Hotel itself was great, room was just nice to stay in for a night or 2. Keep up the great services. May the hotel become larger and grow more branches in other areas as well ☺️
