The hotel is a budget-friendly option with decent-sized rooms, but the overall experience left me wanting more. While there were some fun aspects like nearby discos, the location was a bit sketchy. The air conditioning didn’t always work right, and service was just okay. For under 80 USD, it might work for some, but it wasn’t the best fit for me.

I stayed at this hotel for New Year's Eve, and while it had its perks, it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. The rooms were decent for the price, but not all air conditioning units worked well. The location is good enough, surrounded by food stalls and close to the city center. The service was friendly but had some hiccups. Overall, if you're on a tight budget and don't mind a few inconveniences, this place might work for you.

My stay was at a budget-friendly hotel, and while it offered decent value for money, it surely had its downsides. The rooms were reasonably sized but lacked proper air conditioning in some cases, and the location wasn't ideal if you're looking to be near the more vibrant parts of town. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and responsive, although the service could be improved. Overall, it’s an okay option if you're on a tight budget, but there are definitely trade-offs to consider.
