The hotel is hidden inside the Star City Mall 3rd floor, lacking proper signage made it even harder to locate it. Only have one common use lif to access to the hotel, which is poorly maintain that it frequently showing error alarm code that the lift is overloaded even though only 3 persons boarded inside. Hotel is rather old and room is small, the bathroom is oddly designed that it is higher than the room's flooring that you need to go up one step of staircase and without mini bar, hair dryer and cupboard inside the room. However they provide a common use small fridge, a hot &cold water dispensing machine, free tea&coffee, microwave oven and ceramic bowls, a cups and plastic spoons in the lobby. Ventilation is quite bad as cigarette smoke from other rooms entered through our bathroom's air ventilation system. However, staff are friendly and helpful. They helped us to keep our luggages as we arrived earlier than check in time and also after we checked out. A budget hotel that is OK.
