I had a very good stay here, thank you .
Pros:

Excellent staffs, very helpful, friendly staffs. Very good location.

Cons:

It generally looks old, small space of reception. The elevator looks very old (i could hear the sound of its tired doors when it opens or closes). The security scan of the lift doesn’t work ( no need to tap the room key at reading sensor). Hotel doesn’t have minibar- set up policy ( it was empty).
