Good budget hotel with a convenient location! 🏨 The hotel is budget-friendly, clean and tidy. The room is simple but comfortable, and I think it’s suitable for the price. Surprisingly, the room also comes with a bathtub, which is a nice bonus! The location is very convenient and easy to access, and it’s right next to Beryl’s, so u can stop by there. If you’re not particular about the hotel environment or looking for a hotel with beautiful gardens and lots of facilities, this would be a good choice. For a short stay and a reasonable price, I would definitely consider staying here again. 👍

The location is good and near to many attractions. near to the convenience store and walking distance to tourist spot also very near. Easy to get the food and drinks by walking distance. The room is clean and comfortable. Air conditioning not too cold. It takes a long time to feel cold. Other than that everything is good. Recommended to stay for short or long term. Parking is free provided by the hotel but limited. Staff hotel is helpful and friendly. So far, everything looks good 👍 Check-in was smooth, and the room is clean and comfortable.
