a week agoGreat location. The facade is fantastic. The hotel is made up of several buildings. The downside is there's no elevator, the room is tiny with just a fan, and it's very cramped. There's no room for luggage. I won't be back.

2 weeks agoI took the hotel for one night, to have a rest before my flight next day early morning. The noise and vibration from the underground was unbearable, couldn't sleep until 1am. The room was extremely small and use the shower means water in the floor of the bathroom. Needs renovation and isolation of noise. The location is great.

2 weeks agoRoom and bathroom smelt very damp. When I stayed there were a lot of teenagers shouting and banging doors late into the night.
