I like the curtains that gives you privacy and the beds are quite nice and big

Bianca Chile

The staff is just the best; very kind and helpful. Great location as well. Fresh markets at a walking distance. Clean space. Comfortable mattress & pillow. cheap which is great for budget travelers.

Arianna Thailand

The location is very good. Near to everything. Staff is accommodating. Given the cost for a night, i would say it's a great value for money. They also have a provision for leaving your luggage at the counter in case you needed to.
