What visitors say
★★★★★“Best hotel for me to stay. I had been there for research paper purpose and trust me best cleanliness and best staff. The convenience store nearby and bus stop is just opposite the hotel on 40 steps. The area is quite silent and relaxing. Just don't look outside at neighbours dogs, if you look out they will bark, else even these neighbours dogs are welcome behaved. I stayed in single en-suite and best experience. Definitely recommend. Thank you staff for the hospitality. The hotel doors are also secured. But instead of saying just positive, just some things to improve: The residents at the hotel might sometimes be noisy post 10pm. The hotel has taken good measure of posting the sign of no noise after 9pm. But just a request to staff to look into this. Secondly, mosquitos can be an issue post evening. So need some room mosquitos repellent to be provided by staff. With best regards, Wishing the stayer success.”
★★★★★“We had an excellent stay for 9 days. The room was great and the environment was quiet. There is a hawker station down the road for about 15 min walk from the hostel.”
★★★★★“A lovely, clean room in a fantastic location — perfect for those who enjoy a peaceful retreat without sacrificing convenience. Easy access to the city center, plus great opportunities for hiking and jogging in the surrounding greenery. The only suggestion would be thicker or soundproof walls to make it truly perfect!”
★★★★★“Staff was attentive and helpful: very good employees. Shared bathroom shower was in same space as toilet and always smelled strongly of urine. A man was pleasuring himself in the guest lobby one evening. 15 minute walk from nearest subway and kind of far from most places tourists want to go.”
