I had a pleasant stay at this boutique hotel where the rooms were modern and impeccably clean. The service was generally good, with the staff being quite accommodating, but it was a bit slow at times. The location was excellent, convenient to local attractions and eateries. However, the dining options weren't as extensive as I had hoped, and I think some facilities could be improved.

I had a pretty good stay at this boutique hotel. The rooms are very clean, and the bed was comfortable, but I did notice that they aren’t soundproof, so some noise came through from outside. The staff were genuinely friendly and eager to help, which made my experience even better. However, the dining options could use some improvement, and I found the location a bit noisy due to nearby air conditioning units. Overall, it felt like a decent value for what I paid.

My stay was a mix of good and bad. The rooms had a unique blend of rustic and modern styles, but I couldn't ignore the unpleasant smell and weak Wi-Fi. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from Gaya Street and china town, making it easy to explore. However, the service left something to be desired, especially when it came to getting my air conditioning unit repaired in a timely manner.

I recently stayed at this boutique hotel and had a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll to the lively Gaya Street, which made exploring the area a breeze. The room was clean but lacked windows, which made it feel a bit cramped, and the air conditioning could be uncomfortable at times. The service was friendly, and the staff were accommodating, but I did have a small hiccup when the room key was given to another guest. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for something central, but be prepared for some quirks.

The room was clean, but it didn't have windows, which made it a bit claustrophobic. The air conditioning was directed straight to our heads, making it less comfortable than I would have liked.

The hotel offered basic amenities, but nothing particularly stood out. It would be nice if they could add some more comfort features, like carpets in the rooms.

I recently stayed at this boutique hotel and found it to have a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. However, I did find the room a bit small for the price I paid, and the stairs to access our level were a bit of a challenge. The location was convenient for exploring the area, but there are some safety concerns at night.
