We stayed in a room set up for 3 people, with 1 queen bed and 1 twin bed. The room was clean and provided with 3 bottles of drinking water. Towels, body soap, and toothbrushes were available. The room had air conditioning, a wardrobe, a desk, and a water heater. The front office staff were very friendly and helpful. We arrived at night and were still welcomed with a smile. There was an issue with the Wi-Fi, but it was resolved very well. The check-out process was quick and efficient, as we needed to leave quickly to catch a flight. I forgot to ask his name, but he was a man wearing an earring on his left ear. Also, the housekeeping staff—a friendly lady—helped provide the amenities we needed. Oh yes, one more thing that caught our attention: there’s a facility for people with disabilities—a chair lift that brings guests from the outside ground level to the first-floor elevator. The location is close to many food spots, and right across the street there’s a pharmacy, a durian stall, and more. Overall, very good..! Thank youuu!

The room is spacious, the bed is large, and the bathroom is very spacious and clean. However, there's only one hanger for clothes or towels in the bathroom. It would be nice to have more hangers. Please also replace the towels, as they are worn and yellowing. Pros: friendly staff, and the hotel's location is very close to culinary spots, just a 100-meter walk away.

I stayed there for 2 nights and I liked the cleanliness and the cool air conditioning, but there are a few things that could be improved. 1. I couldn't watch TV because the remote didn't work. 2. The water suddenly turned off in the morning without warning, even while I was showering and using soap 🙈 3. The location couldn't be found on the map because it was still using the old hotel name, so we had to go around several times with the online taxi driver.
