Wow, I did not expect that a pocket hotel is better than other regular hotels. We got the room with 2 mattresses. I like how the washroom is being cleaned often and there r clean& comfortable pyjamas, disposable slippers and toothbrushes. I also like how the laundry is in the hotel and there are lots of tables and chairs in the lounge area. It is also close to the train station.

This is my second time at this hotel, and all I can say is how wonderful it is! Very convenient and affordable. I don’t like the small rooms, but that’s what a hostel hotel it’s all about. I recommend a lot if your just saying for a few days and don’t have many bags. Maybe as a start up hotel!
