Good location. No staff at reception. Warmer was on in the room’s floor but have they forget the customers luggages and goodies they bought are place on the floor and it melted the chocolates and plastic material luggages. Online check in is fast and efficient but if we need to re-print the confirmation flight and seat number for claims is it able to do so? I have tried but unable to retrieve again … if after the confirmation and can email an soft copy with flight and seats confirmation will be great.

The room was bigger than I expected. It’s enough space for 2 people. I checked in via calling the stuff and they tell us the password for the room. The other people do the same, but they just repeat after stuff telling the password so I feel it’s insecure because if there are other people in the reception area, they hear the number.

convenient but a bit noisy

It was a convenient location, clean and tidy and self contained. But constructions going on around the place so if you intend to sleep-in, don't bother as the noise starts quite early.

Catfish

One word “Catfish”. The room DOES NOT look like pictures. It smelled really bad too and felt very stuffy. It is not worth of money at all. The only decent thing about this place is location. I would never come back not recommend to anybody.
