"Very unique property in a very quiet relaxed area close to lots of public transport. No controllable air conditioning and the rooms are only serviced every three days. Staff were very helpful in supplying things that needed changing or replacing"
"Close proximity to bus and train station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms and hallways had a bit of an odor, but were clean. Room was on the east side with setting sun and had a hard time cooling down properly. One elevator was out of service the first day but was fixed quickly. Advertised gym was under renovation and not able to be used."
"The staff at this hotel were the best we have ever encountered!
Helpful, friendly and always smiling and it was a prayer dealing with them.
The food was mediocre. We didn't have breakfast but had a curry there one night. It was hot and cold in places so obviously just microwaved. The salad was good but the dressing was terrible.
It's close to everything.... subway, shops, restaurants ... all within a 5 minute walk.
The fan in the bathroom definitely needs cleaning!"
