Our stay was OK but I was not aware that the rooms don’t have air conditioning and it was very warm during our visit. On the second night, they provided small fans which helped a bit. Friendly and polite staff, and excellent location.

The desk clerk patiently waited for us past the usual check in time since we blindly took the train and walked 10-15 minutes to the hotel. Little did we factor in the steps taken with 6 luggages. We loved how convenient it was!
