small roompoor coffee
I was initially excited, however some aspects fell short. My allocated room was quite small, not matching the impression given by the photos online. The bathroom lacked a proper shower enclosure, resulting in water splashing everywhere. Breakfast was also disappointing. The layout was disorganized, and the coffee was not good at all..

Fantastic central location

The hotel is centrally located. This made it easy to walk to many attractions. The staff was helpful with directions, and the room was very clean. I found the breakfast had many options. The reception staff helped me book a taxi to the airport. This service was really helpful.
The walls seemed a little thin, I could hear some noise from the hallway at times.

the hotel located near everything. i could walk to many locations. the staff helped arrange a taxi. it was difficult to find the entrance at first, i was on the top floor and had to use stairs but all worth it.
the bathroom shower setup was not great. i soaked the entire room. it was just a bath with a shower head and no shower screen.
