Small rooms and price. Good value.

Good central location between GAMA and 1st Avenue mall with coffee shops and restaurants nearby, or a short GRAB ride away. Rooms are clean, small and relatively comfortable. The price is reasonable for what you get. Maid service every other day. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The sink was clogged. We told the staff, and they said they will send a maintenance staff to look at it but it was never done. We ended up asking to change to a different room on the following day. We came back one day and saw the door was left open and unlock after the room was made. We'll never consider Cititel Express in future.

Small clean room with a small price

This is a reasonably priced accommodation in a good location. The rooms are tiny, but clean and well maintained. Housekeeping is limited to every other day.
