Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The recent renovation works have been completed to a high standard, using high spec fixtures and fittings. Very good location for local amenities, restuarants, shopping malls, etc. The only downside is being located on the 2nd storey, as we had several suitcases. However, the owner was very helpful in carrying the cases up the stairs.

Actually, I didn't expect it because I made a reservation in a hurry,
It was really satisfying.
The staff members are very kind.
The room was very clean and the bed was nice.
I'm very satisfied with the price, and I'm willing to revisit.

Advantages: This was a great experience, the room was comfortable, the TV service and electric curtains were excellent. Another advantage is the excellent location, quiet and convenient.
Suggestions: It would be nice to have a shelf in the bathroom. Additionally, during rainy days, there were many ants that crawled into the wall joints of the air conditioner and got stuck in the cracks of the tiles, could there be an ant nest here?

I liked that all the light switches are touch pad. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Feels like at least a 4-star hotel.
If have lots of luggage, the climb up the stairs to second story might be difficult for some people.
James
8/10
The mattresses were too soft. The rooms are on the 3rd storey and there's no lift. But on the other hand, staff are friendly and responsive, the rooms are clean and there are many eateries nearby and it's walkable to the night market and to a shopping mall.

Pros
Central location
Responsive staff regardless the time
Very clean room
Cons
I was staying at top floor. There's no lift.
Window cannot be opened
We could not open the blind because people on street can see straight through -this can be sorted with frosted film
