Stayed 1 night

The room was so tiny you did not even have a side table. However, the bed was comfortable and room was clean. The bathroom was recently renovated (SHARED BATHROOM ONLY) and kitchen was not bad either (shared only) The lounge area was so musky and we could not sit there because it was so smelly. Overall, we would not stay again.
