Not much need for contact with staff. Facilities very limited. Super location and hygiene/ cleanliness very good .There are no breakfast ( or dining facilities) on site, you have to go across the road for breakfast. Breakfast was plentiful but arrived cold

The room was clean and comfy. However, the bathtub was too high, making it inaccessible for one of us who has mobility issues. Also, there are steps coming into the property. This should be a consideration for others who use mobile devices.

The hotel was very neat and clean. The staff were very helpful. The position of the hotel was in easy walking distance of many major shops and restaurant. Easy and affordable ride in a taxi from the train station. Will definitely revisit this hotel again in the future.
