Pros: affordable price, easy access to nearby night market and good service Cons: room in terribly old condition, dust everywhere while the bed sheet kinda itchy, bathroom mat is disgusting, and the most terrible thing is we saw the review by local tv which it got so many cockroaches in the room

The first room we were shown we could not stay in, there was a heavy chlorine and smoke smell. They showed us to a second room, that was not cleaned properly and finally they upgraded us to a room that was quite nice, just the beds were very hard.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Everything was at least decent minus the hardness of the bed. Although it's still better than being too soft. Area not great to find things to do, but a 5 minute cab from the rest of the city.

フロントに常駐している方々＆他のスタッフの方々も皆、親切で、困った事が有れば通訳アプリ等を使って、問題を解決してくれます。 室内(家具等の設備)の古さは、私個人としては気になりませんでしたし、過去の良い時代な感じ＆雰囲気もまた良いかなと。 それと照明のスイッチはベッド付近に集約されているので、ご確認を。

照片跟房間完全長得不一樣😂 停車場一堆蚊子 一樓一堆蚊子 房間超級無敵髒到不行✋ 隔音也完全不行 晚上都聽的超清楚樓下房間的人講話 房間也一堆菸味又潮濕 唯一優點：服務人員態度好 停車位要先卡位太晚去會沒位子
