The hotel is in a convenient location directly across from the main train station (it made travel very easy). The room I had was spacious, and the air conditioning worked well. The staff at check-in were helpful and friendly .

My room had a very strong incense smell. This seemed to be masking another odor and affected my sleep quality. The room facing the road was quite noisy at night, likely because of the train station and taxi stand.

perfect locationstale smoke

The location was fine. It's right across from the train station.

The room smelled strongly of stale smoke, even though it was a non-smoking room. This. also, the decor was dated. It really needs an update.
