i loved the room design.. it felt luxurious yet unique. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. I also liked they left some drinks in the fridge. The bathroom facilities were great, very clean and modern.

i found the keypad lock on the door a little basic, and it made me feel slightly insecure since there was no front desk.

i found the location rather unsettling. there was constant noise from the road above and the air conditioning didn't work properly, so it was quite stuffy. i also wasn't happy that the room wasn't very clean upon my arrival. it made me question the overall hygiene standards of the place.
