This hotel has an awesome location in the heart of District 1, making it easy to explore the city and close to plenty of restaurants and stores. While the rooms are basic, they are very clean, making for a comfortable stay. The service from the staff was outstanding, especially when I needed assistance during my illness, which added a personal touch. However, noise from the nearby club could be bothersome for light sleepers, and the lack of luxury amenities was noticeable.

I had a great stay in a backpacker-friendly area, allowing easy access to the main sights of the city. The staff were genuinely helpful, and I appreciated their honesty when I accidentally left my camera behind. The rooms were basic yet comfortable, but the noise from the street could be a downside if you're in a front room. Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value for money with clean accommodations and a great location.
