I like this hotel so much. The concept is great and the container containing the bed is comfortable. I would suggest for the hotel to prepare the refilling mineral water to make it perfect.

Our biggest happiness was when finding a clean stay. Everything was perfect tidy with a minimalist interior. Location: near the bus station, couldn’t ask more than that. However it could have been 10/10 if carpet in the hall was less smelly. All in all: recommended place!

This hotel is perfect for backpacking, comfortable, can have your own privacy, but the air con is a bit hot and smelly for me. The facilities in the shared bathroom is quite complete (hair dryer, shampoo, towel, toothpaste and toothbrush) provided. Staff is not that friendly but others is ok.
