It was a unique experience.
Pros:

It is a boutique type hotel; it is not too expensive and offers the basics. The staffs were friendly.

Cons:

The room was indeed very small, and so guests who travelled in from afar and likely had plenty of luggage with them would feel uncomfortable. And the one thing I personally disliked most was the bed. It was not comfortable; the mattress was too soft !(possibly overused), and it kept shifting every time I turned or tossed in bed; the mattress was never firmly adhered to the bed.

A comfortable, perfectly fine stay with everything we needed.
Pros:

The twin room was comfortable and exactly as expected. The bathroom was a good size and well-stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, and we appreciated having a coffee maker with pods in the room.

Cons:

Housekeeping is on-request only, which is worth keeping in mind if you prefer daily service.
