"Functional and serves its purpose. My room was bigger compared to some.other rooms I saw.
Bed was satisfactory. I had a good night sleep save for some bouts of jetlag. The room thermostat was hovering somewhere between 22 and 23.5. I can't seem to figure out how to adjust.
The only thing I was not happy about was the bathroom. It was clean, spacious BUT the water splashes in the bathroom floor making it wet most of the time. They don't provide sleepers so you step out of the bathroom with wet feet. No bath mat.
Actually, there was a glass wall for the shower stall but there's a gap at the bottom... So water will splash and flow beyond the shower stall. See photo.
Another thing I don't like: They keep reminding you that they are a low cost hotel to justify the lack of warm hospitality. For example, 'We don't have TV in the rooms to keep the cost down!' 'We only clean your every 4 days to keep the vost down!'. 'We don't change towels daily to keep the cost down!' Annoying.
I chose this hotel for its location - train station, park, grocery, Asian food. I am not looking for budget hotels just because I'm travelling solo.
I can recommend this place but don't expect too much. After all, you'll always be reminded that they are keeping the cost low."
