Reviews
I entered the room and wanted to have a good rest, but the air conditioner was buzzing and the noise was ridiculous. My old mother couldn't sleep all night because of the noise. In addition, there were so many mosquitoes in the room, biting people constantly, and I couldn't have a good rest at all.
The sanitation of the room was also very bad. What's more frustrating is that the hotel didn't have an elevator. I really doubted my life when I carried the suitcase up the stairs.
The next morning, I had breakfast, and the taste was simply "dark cuisine" and it was hard to swallow. However, for such a bad experience, the room price was as high as 1400+, which was extremely low in cost performance and not worth the price at all!
I sincerely advise everyone to avoid this hotel and don't step on the pit!
