I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from the bus and train stations. The place is clean and comfortable, making it perfect for a quick trip. However, the breakfast options were a bit limited, mainly focusing on Chinese dishes, and I wished for a better coffee selection. Overall, it offers good value for a night or two.

The room I stayed in was basic but quite nice and clean. It featured a small fridge and a water boiler, which were really handy. Although it didn't have a window to the outside, it was fine since there was a window into the hallway, albeit without a way to block the light. It could be cramped if you have two large bags.
