Good location and friendly staff
Pros:

The staff are friendly. Location is very convenient. It closes to restaurants, markets, ATM and a laundry shop. Nice local breakfast, too.

Cons:

The bathroom is spacious. I like the design, but the water tab is wobbling and leaking. The shower-head is fixed in the ceiling that I cannot get to use it.

This is the best hotel with cheap price for short stay, work, business, not so recommend for healing
Pros:

The bed is comfy.
The room also provided prayer mat and accurate qiblah signage at ceiling.
The aircond also super cold and love it.
The bathroom is clean and nice hot shower.
Would be nicer if provide hair dryer as well

Cons:

- The TV is quite old not so clear to watch.
- its very funny that mini refrigerator is in the bathroom.
- Rotten floor
- only single key card provided, its very difficult when stay with more than 1 person with only have single room card.
- The lobby is not well furnished and decorated made looks abandoned office workspace.
- breakfast would be nice if provide toaster for breads. Not so good with the cheap sausage, no cereals breakfast.
- Noise pollution at night where all JDM cars ramming at the street and loud bang & exhaust.

Disappointing
Cons:

There is an illegal car and motor race in front of the hotel at night, too noisy and we cannot sleep well. Housekeeping was below par- hair on the floor as we checked in and when moved to new room, leftover bottle and drinks by previous guest were not removed and cleaned. Ground floor breakfast area was stuffy and barely had any airconditioning.
