I had a pleasant 6-night stay at the hotel, situated right in the heart of Chinatown, making it easy to explore the area. The room was clean and offered a powerful shower, but the bed was quite firm for my taste and there were no tea or coffee facilities in the room. Overall, it's a solid choice for visitors looking for basic accommodations at a reasonable price, with plenty of nearby dining options.

My stay at this hotel was quite an experience. While the location is vibrant and the staff was pleasant, the room itself was a letdown in terms of comfort and cleanliness. The bed was not suitable for a good night's sleep, and I found myself looking for alternatives to avoid it. Overall, there are some redeeming qualities, but I wouldn't choose to stay here again due to the discomfort.

Rooms

The room was cramped, with a bed hard as a rock and little space to move around. I felt like the setup was more like a closet than an actual room.

This hotel offers an attractive price point, making it suitable for budget travelers. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the room I stayed in was extremely small and uncomfortable, with limited air movement - I found myself struggling to sleep well. Overall, it has potential, but I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays due to the room conditions.
