Acceptable Stay, Some Issues
dated furnishing street noise
The room felt a bit run-down. Furnishings seemed dated, and it showed wear. I found small maintenance issues such as marked walls. street noise was a problem at night.

main train station friendly staff cozy accommodation poor air conditioning faulty refrigerator high electric bill
The location was near the main train station. It had many options to eat. The staff was friendly and spoke all languages. The accommodation was cozy. I definitely recommend this place.
The air conditioning did not work. Even turning it on, no fresh air came out. The refrigerator in the room did not refrigerate at all. I suspect they do this to save money on the electric bill. I would not recommend this place in a hot season.
