Cons:

The room was smelly and need to call housekeeping for room spray.
It happened everytime when we go out for food or locked the room for a while.

Okay, but can be improved
Pros:

Location is really good. It's close by ciq, city square and Komtar. The hotel can be accessed via the stairs beside public bank (probably may seem eerie at night) and also can cut through via zenith mall which is where we booked out grab pickups (it's near amari hotel & suasana).

Also liked that there is a water filter station in every floor.

Other things I liked
- there's a small chiller
- has basics like kettle, cups, tea
- space for clothing
- staff was pleasant with no issues on check in or checkout

Cons:

For the price, I guess it's okay if you're just staying for a night. A few things that I didn't particularly like.

- the window is only facing towards the corridor side which we permanently kept closed for privacy. There was barely any sun in the room
- it's a small room
- the cleanliness could be improved, perhaps scrubbing down the bathroom tiles more and deep cleaning toilet bowls
- not very soundproof. I could hear a kid shouting from the lobby
- maybe don't use a red old floor mat for the toilet?

Overall, everything else was somewhat expected for the price. Just wanted to try and see how it was in person as it looked clean in pictures. Thinking back, the room wasn't extremely dirty, but idk there's something about the room that makes me feel a bit icky.

If I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't book again as I wasn't as comfortable in the room & couldn't sleep well. No offence to the owners, but I probably prefer citrus (club suite) in comparison for budget hotels or would be willing to pay a little more for a bigger & cleaner room & windows.
