The condition of the room is dirty, the floor carpet is dull and looks dirty, as well as the condition of the bathroom. Just a suggestion: need to renovate the room again, the price does not match the condition of the room.

Old hotel room with old furniture. Room was smelly and no towels were provided during our stay. Bed was a joke, so uncomfortable and springy. Carpet in the room was full of black spot from ciggarettes and shoes stain. There were 3 lifts to the room upstairs but only one was functioning. Had to wait for 15mins to go down. However their front staff was super helpful and friendly. Surely will never come back.

75/100 from me. The bedroom is comfortable & clean. Bathroom got a bath tub, so yeaay. The downsides are, there are no teaspoons or sticks provided to stir the tea/nescafe. They provide cups & free nescafe. But no teaspoon. How to stir without it? With fingers? Next time I hope the hotel will provide it. And then, there is only 1 dustbin in the bathroom. No dustbin in the bedroom. Basic stuff. Hope they will provide it next time.
