The hotel is tucked away in a quieter part of town, yet it turned out to be a great spot. The staff were absolutely lovely, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. While the rooms were generally clean, they had a bit of wear and tear, which detracted from the overall experience. The location was surprisingly convenient with local markets and eateries just a short walk away, but the surrounding area felt a tad run down at times.

I found the hotel to be in a great location, really close to the local night markets and shopping malls, which was a huge plus for me. The staff warmly welcomed us, and my room was clean and comfortable, contributing to a pleasant stay overall. However, there was a significant issue with noise at night from a nearby garbage truck, which disrupted my sleep, and the smoking odor was quite strong, making it less ideal for non-smokers like me.

My experience at this hotel was disappointing overall. While I appreciated the spacious room and the friendly staff, the noise from the garbage truck and the overwhelming smell of smoke made it hard to enjoy my stay. Additionally, the surrounding area was unkempt and a bit unsettling, which detracted from the visit. Definitely not ideal for non-smokers and those looking for a peaceful environment.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, especially thanks to the spacious family room that accommodated all of us comfortably. The staff made us feel valued and were really helpful throughout our stay. On the downside, while the hotel's location was good, I encountered some issues with the Wi-Fi in my room, which was frustrating. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I'd certainly recommend it.

I had mixed feelings about my stay here. The location is convenient for exploring local attractions, and the big room offered decent comfort for the price. However, the Wi-Fi was frustratingly slow, and the lack of a nice view was disappointing. Overall, it was a budget-friendly option but with some trade-offs in comfort and facilities.
