“Peacefully quaint”

The place might strike you as small but, it was really so comfortable and peaceful. I personally love their small yet easy to move bathroom. The place was accessible to almost everything like the bus and train station, restaurants and commercial areas.

“Nice stay but confusing”

We booked through a third party site to stay here, or so we thought, and like other reviews said, there was no sign, just a door and a phone to call in. They told us we had the wrong place but we used google maps and was sure we were right. The cleaner let us in and we saw our name on the list so w… more

We booked through a third party site to stay here, or so we thought, and like other reviews said, there was no sign, just a door and a phone to call in. They told us we had the wrong place but we used google maps and was sure we were right. The cleaner let us in and we saw our name on the list so we were sure we had the right place. We got our room. It was a nice room with a good bathroom and big tv so we decided to stay a bit longer and rebooked. Thats when they made us aware we did have the wrong place all along and they just changed the location of the booking. Turns out the one on the third party site isn't listed on google under its name and you have to type in the actual address and we were just careless. There's actually 3 of these places, all named the same. So be wary of location when booking this place, and thankyou to the staff for sorting it out for us with their limited english. All complaints i read about in other reviews were unfounded.

Booked for 5 nights but the first 2nights was suffocating. Cigarette smell came from the bathroom's ventilation and the whole room was choked up of smoke. I think my life had shorten since the first two nights. There isn't a receptionist to complain to so we managed to get hold of the housekeeper to do something about the ventilation in the room. On the 3rd day an air-filter was placed in our room. It got a lot better but every morning we had to endure the cigarette smell from the bathroom. Apart from the bad smoke smell lingering, the room was no doubt clean and housekeeping was done every day. The area is surrounded by many eateries and convenient stores and metro is within walking distance.
