4/5

This hotel was a hidden gem in the heart of the city! My 8-day stay was overall very positive, though there were a few minor things to consider for future travelers. On the plus side: Cozy and comfortable: The environment was warm and inviting, with a relaxed atmosphere. Spacious room: Having plenty of space to spread out was great, especially for a longer stay. Delicious pastries: The breakfast pastries were a real highlight, fresh and tasty. I highly recommend them! Central location: Being in the city center meant all the restaurants and shops were right at my doorstep. Friendly staff: The staff was helpful and accommodating, keeping the hotel running smoothly. A few things to note: Carpets: The carpets in the room were a bit dated and could have been cleaner. Repetitive breakfast (except noodles): While the pastries were amazing, the rest of the breakfast menu remained mostly the same throughout my stay. Some more variety would have been appreciated. Lobby odor: Due to its location near a wet market, the lobby sometimes had a bit of a smell. However, the staff made a good effort to manage this by keeping the doors closed whenever possible. Lift wait times: During peak hours, there could be a bit of a wait for the elevator. Despite these minor drawbacks, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would recommend it to others, especially those who prioritize a central location and appreciate cozy vibes. Just be prepared for a potentially repetitive breakfast and the occasional funky lobby aroma. Bonus tip: Check out the nearby restaurants and shops - you'll be spoilt for choice! I hope this review helps you decide if this hotel is the right fit for your next trip!
