The hotel is clean, fragrant, the AC is cold, close to the market and terminal. It's really good for backpackers like me. It's not a new hotel but it's nice even though I booked a room without a window. The staff are also friendly.

This is my bad experience stay in the hotel since a long time for my travel for working. The hotel no security no safety chain lock, no eye viewer at the door. No safety access at the lift. The stranger easily going up and knock the door. Pintu hotel diketuk dan didatangi pondan dan seorg lelaki utk memeras ugut. Hati2 sya dh terkena.

No parking provided by the hotel. The only parking available is a bit far at the Padang Merdeka area. I was fined by DBKK for parking there. The hotel management didn't inform me about parking ticket.
