"Staff were always kind and helpful, which was the best part. It must be reasonable its room is such small where a bed is occupied exactly from the wall to the other side’s, given its relatively lower price. However, we would say bed making was terrible. The room between mattress and the frame was not clean with hairs and rubbishes. Cleanliness around a bed is all about sound sleeping."
