The beds were incredibly comfortable, making for a cozy stay. The service, unfortunately, wasn't the best, as the receptionist wasn't very helpful, but the housekeeping team kept things tidy. The included dining was delightful, emphasizing the best meat dishes. The facilities were top-notch, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.

I couldn't ask for a more convenient location, right in the heart of the bustling red light district. The rooms were meticulously clean and gave me a unique view of Lady Boy Alley. Sadly, the service lacked warmth and efficiency at times, leaving me a bit disappointed. The hotel's dining experience was satisfactory with homemade products to enjoy. A stay with its ups and downs but worth the value.
