Amazing Value Find!

nearby supermarketbus stopfree bus pass
The hotel is super close to a supermarket. I loved that the bus stop was only a four-minute walk. Plus, the staff gave me a free bus pass, allowing easy trips to the train station and around the area.
The air conditioning unit made some noise even at its lowest setting.

The rooms are clean and tidy. Rooms are a bit small, but do the job. A comfy bed is included. The room for one person was okay, not a huge room.

excellent locationnearby storethin wallsawkward bathroom
the bus stop was conveniently located right next to the hotel (i liked that!). it took me less than 10 minutes to reach the main train station. i found a grocery store nearby too.
the walls seemed thin and i noticed some noise from outside (it was a bit distracting). the bathroom setup might feel awkward with others because of the shower door.
