Cons:

No tiene nada que ver con las fotos que ponen. Lo único bueno es que tiene aire acondicionado y lavandería. Las habitaciones les falta un poco más de limpieza y en la habitación se oía muchísimo el ruido de fuera. Al baño le falta una limpieza a fondo

Pros:

Nak pergi Sunday Market GS pun dekat saja, boleh jalan kaki.

Cons:

Saya rasa kedudukan posisi AC tidak sesuai. Masa tidur jadi tidak selesa, sebab ada tempat tak kena AC. Dan juga susah sangat nak dapat parking berdekatan dengan hotel. Soundproof kurang, bunyi suara dari sebelah bilik boleh dengar agak mengganggu jugalah. Suara dari luar tingkap pun boleh terdengar kuat padahal sudah tutup rapat.

Pros:

Hotel in a very strategic location. Restaurants and convenience stores nearby. You can experience the night market and sunday market two blocks from the hotel building. The hotel price is also cheaper.

Cons:

The room size is a little bit small but it's ok if you just want to sleep and rest. No designated parking for guests, you need to park in a public carpark around the hotel.
