Reviews
The hotel is actually behind a small building, so you have to walk around the front to get to it.
Hygiene: Very good. The bathroom and bedding were clean.
Cons: hard to find the main entrance. Hot water is not consistent , sometimes no hot water supply. Very late check in at 4pm. NO shampoo, soap or bathing gel provided. No sounds proof due to thin wall.
As non-smokers, we're quite sensitive to cigarette smoke, and unfortunately, we could detect a faint smell of it in our room. However, once the air conditioning was turned on, the issue disappeared.
TIP: There's a WUMART supermarket just a 5-minute walk away. It's large and offers a wide variety of products. You can also grab a bite to eat there.
The cleanliness was also questionable, with dust and cobwebs in every corner.
They provided an oven, induction cooktop, pots, and bowls, but they were a bit unhygienic.
