Weird vibe but fine.
Pros:

The room was located close to my venue and was fine. The place has a really odd vibe as it's seemingly a retrofitted half floor of an old mall. Kind of liked it? But weird.

Cons:

The room was part of a "block" of rooms and didn't have a personal bathroom. The room itself was a simple square space with a bed, a shower in one corner and a sink.

I would certainly stay there again on a tight budget.
Pros:

The room was spacious with a high ceiling. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. I didn't have to use the electric blanket as the electric heater was working fine.

The location was conveniently located in the CBD. The shops, restaurants, fast food outlets, convenience stores, bus stops and taxi stands were all available within short walking distances.

Cons:

1. shower glass door cannot be opened outwards (only option) because it jams against the bathroom sliding door, especially when you attempt to exist the shower with the sliding bathroom door closed.

Pros:

Location was great, right in the heart of the cbd

Cons:

The toilet seat was not attached properly, very disconnected and felt quite creepy. Would not recommend it if you're a single female staying alone.

Pros:

Practical locality in the city centre and affordable price

Cons:

The room without windows was quite gloomy. Moreover it was possible to hear almost any sound that echoed throughout the building. And there was a reconstruction at some part of the building that day... The staff was ok, but not extra nice or helpful. Nobody was at the reception during the whole morning so I couldn't store my bag there before check-in. And it was impossible to reach them on the phone number they showed at the reception - it was machine-answered only.

Pros:

The room itself was sweet as for the price, just a cheap stay for a night in town! Shower was clean.

Cons:

I suppose the corridors to the rooms were scary and smelly otherwise it was ok if you are on a budget. Again it was algood for the price, I can't really complain.
