The staff is very helpful and the location is great A 5-7mins walk from Xi men Ding It was very nice of the staff to arrange 4 bedroom for us to ease me moving around but will be great to have a bigger locker in the room. The toilet will be nice to have a curtain so the toilet wont be wet after shower. The room is clean but it doesn't have lift so is more for a bag-packers stay But in general, I enjoyed the stay

We had a great experience during our stay last march. The room was clean. The staff was very accomodating and friendly. I enjoyed the unlimited coffee and tea. The lounge was cool and the wifi access is great. The one thing I was not happy about was the time for check in was very late for 3pm because I was expecting that we can go to our room early to rest because it was stated on our printed itinerary from expedia that 7am is the earliest check in.
