Cleanliness is top notched. Room is big. Some basic necessities could be requested during the stay. Concierge speaks good English and is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There are many eateries around the hotel and some tourist spots are within walking distance. 1 night stay on a Sunday night cost about USD50 and it comes with free breakfast for 2 pax.

Good location and room in good size, yet the wall is very thin where you can hear people talking on the street and the snoring sound of your neighbor. Also there is only one lift in the building to be shared among the hotel guests and housekeeping.

Excellent experience overall
The bedroom and the washroom were excellent—very clean and tidied. The air conditioner was frosty as should be and the shower heads were strong. The tatami mats were well taken care of too! The inclusive breakfast was delicious! I would definitely book again. I would like to recommend soundproofing the door more. I can hear other guests talking in the hallway and the doorbell of the room next door ringing.
