Very basic amenities but you are getting what you pay for at a budget hotel! Bedroom was clean and had a mini fridge, towels and enough space to hang/ store clothes. No air con but was provided with a big fan which was appreciated. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Shared bathrooms were basic and weren’t the cleanest but, again, was what I expected for the price I was paying! Would definitely book again for a cheap stay in the city close to lots of public transport options.

Shared bathroom but it must have been my bad that I didn’t read well. Beds were not comfortable. No A/C available. However, for the price, it was not terrible to spend two nights there. Staff was very friendly and allowed us to storage our luggage after check out until our time to go to the airport.
