As soon as I checked in I found out the bathroom faucet was loose. The wooden small door by the front door couldn’t lock. The room after the elevator floor has either go up or down 10 steps. It’s so inconvenient for people traveling with big suitcases.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room made a great first impression—clean, tidy, and well-organised upon entry. Overall, it was comfortable, but there are a few areas that could be improved. The bathroom was generally fine, though it could benefit from some small repairs, a lid on the toilet seat, grout cleaned and replaced in the shower. The tea and coffee station could use a refresh as well; adding options like Milo or hot chocolate would be a thoughtful touch for guests who don’t drink tea or coffee, and a couple of complimentary water bottles would be appreciated. The biggest downside was the view, which was just a brick wall and a bit disappointing. The king beds were clean and comfortable, but it was clearly made up of two king singles that weren’t zipped together, so they separated quite easily. Overall, the stay was pleasant, but with a few updates, it could be much better. The staff were very friendly and helpful 👌
