Ong, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

No windows in our room and when we tried to check in (quite late in evening) the staff gave us the key to a room which was not made up. They were very apologetic but still not the best start to our stay. Great spot in the heart of Chinatown although traffic was unbearable around here at nighttime.

Clean great location in chinatown

Very good location in china town it was fun walking around the area. Room was very clean and there is a kitchen and lounge in lobby with games couches and tables which was nice while waiting to go to airport. It is also a restaurant but they help direct you to the hotel. Highly recommend
Dillon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was delighted with my stay here and would stay again given the incredible location. Couldn't quite give it 5 stars in any area though, even given the good rate. My mother and I stayed in a windowless 3-person room. The room was barely big enough to hold 1 queen bed and 1 single - no gap between them. That's fine (though anyone not on the outer edge of the single has to crawl in and out), but there's also no place to open luggage other than flat on the floor, where it blocked both the only easy access to the bed AND blocked the door from opening. So, a nuisance. Bathroom slider door didn't work well and the bathroom fan was very noisy. Beds were very clean and comfortable, floor clean too. Bathroom was decently clean (toilet area great, shower and sink meh). AC was great! My biggest complaint was poor ventilation. There were times that a really bad smell came up, like cleaning products plus restaurant fishiness, and of course there's no way to air the room out. We arrived quite late due to a delayed flight. I couldn't find any way to communicate with the hostel but online said there was reception 24/7. There was no one downstairs (reception is on 6th floor inside, but there's usually someone hanging out by the ground level entrance). Restaurant workers cleaning up found us the right guy eventually, though he seemed unhappy about it and was frankly rude. Reception staff otherwise were pleasant. Lobby area has instant coffee, filtered water, and laundry.

MRTワットマンコン駅に近く移動が楽です。中華街を楽しめる最高の立地だと思います。個室に泊まりました。部屋にテーブルはありませんが、共用スペースがとても居心地がよかったです。建物自体は古いですが、清掃がしっかりしているためか、清潔感があり良かったです。スタッフもとても親切で好感が持てました。また泊まりたいです。
