I enjoyed the room size. It provided ample space for movement. The bathroom was also generously sized. I found the bed comfortable for sleeping, VERY important. The staff was helpful and available.

the room had this soft light. the tv, a big screen, did show many channels. the bathroom included a range of toiletries, so helpful. i found the location at chulia street top very convenient, nearby so many restaurants.

i requested a quiet room, but they did give me one faced main street. it was noisy all day and night because traffic sounds. it made rest difficult.

convenient locationspacious layoutsincere staff

The location proved convenient for exploring local eateries. I appreciated the room layout with two toilets plus a separate living area. The staff showed genuine care and helpfulness enhancing my visit greatly.

I noticed the car park felt somewhat compact perhaps due to the mechanical parking design being present but not fully utilized.

Rooms

The room included a television offering many channels plus a balcony with ample space. The provided toiletries added convenience and the super clean condition ensured a comfortable setting. The bed had soft pillows.
