The hotel appears to be newly refurbished/renovated and everything looks pretty new. Overall it's quite clean and comfortable, and the lounge is relaxing and spacious. We didn't have much noise from the other guests or outside the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful to us.
Like some other places in South East Asia, the drains in the bathroom quickly started to reek of sewerage. I don't think the housekeeping staff clean them, or if there's anything they could do to stop the terrible stench. It stinks up the whole room. I also found the raised edge of the shower to be quite dangerous as a tripping hazard, as well as the corner tiles sticking out unevenly and therefore they're pretty sharp.
The area is pretty close to the train station and Chinatown. There aren't many other restaurants in the area, but there are some small cafes. It's not a very clean area and there are a lot of hookers just on the street of the hotel for some reason, which wasn't a huge issue for us but might be if you're travelling with kids.
