Enjoyable
Pros:

Very nice and helpful staff. Our room was upgraded from a double room to family room, which was spacious. There is a mini-refrigerator inside the room. Free cold water is available. Daily room service is going. Central location, around 5 minutes walk to the river, and McDonalds nearby. It is worth its price.

OK for its price
Pros:

The staff is very helpful, and the location is good. The price is reasonable.

Cons:

My first room was very small and not clean. Because the hot water didn’t work so the staff changed the room for me soon. The second room was nice, but the AC was leaking water so the staff changed room for me again. Overall it was OK because the staff was very responsive and willing to help, but i think the first room should not be used to host guests because the condition was quite poor.

Pros:

I like the vibes! It kinda gives you some sort of kozy vibes. The bed was comfy too, and the room was clean. A room with this rm80 price per night? It's definitely worth it.

Cons:

The door is pretty hard to open. Furthermore, the scanner of the door makes some "beep" sound too for minutes. So you'll have to listen to that every time u opened the door. But worry not, at most it will only last about 30 mins.
