Functional and Central Accomodation
Pros:

We appreciated the closeness to the the market and local restaurants. This made it a great place for exploring StoneTown on foot.

The room had an aircon which was a savior for the hot and humid weather, this was appreciated.

Cons:

Lack of cleanliness: There were stains on the bedding which is a big no-no.

Pros:

프레디 머큐리 박물관 바로 뒤에 있고 야시장까지 가는 거리가 5분이면 됨. 그외에 명소들 접근성도 나쁘지 않음. 다른 맛집과 카페들과위 접근성도 너무 좋고 조식도 맛있음. 전기가 끊기는 일이 없었고 에어컨과 선풍기때문에 방이 시원해서 좋았음. 화장실도 청결하고 온수도 빵빵하게 나옴. 근데 외출하고 오면 더워서 난 찬물로 샤워하긴 함.

The hotel is located right behind the Freddie Mercury Museum, and it’s only about a 5-minute walk to the night market. It also has good access to other tourist attractions.

It’s very conveniently located near good restaurants and cafes, and the breakfast was delicious. There were no power outages, and the room stayed cool thanks to both air conditioning and a fan.

The bathroom was clean, and the hot water worked well. However, after coming back from outside, it felt too hot, so I usually ended up taking cold showers.

Cons:

난 1층에서 방을 썼는데 기계실이 옆에 있었는지 소음이 좀 있었음. 근데 피곤해서 잘자긴 함.

I stayed in a room on the first floor, and there was some noise, possibly from a machine room next to it. However, I was tired, so I still slept well.
