Very strategically located, walking distance to many food outlets and tourist attractions. The staff are friendly, but a bit lack in term of facilities. No small fridge in the room, and only one plug point to charge your phones.

Small room, but quiet and clean. Friendly staff. Internet not the best but good enough for guest who staying for a night or two. Only thing missing was a fridge. Fridges are not available in any room. That's not good for guest that like to stay more then just 1 or 2 nights. Location is also ok. There are restaurants , small shops and even 7 eleven in walking distance.
