The hotel is in a great location, right at the entrance of Gaya Street. It has a sense of history. The decoration should be refurbished and well maintained, but you need to stand in the bathtub to take a shower. The pate restaurant downstairs is convenient for dining and the taste is also good, with a variety of fusion cuisines

The hotel is in a unique location, with 90% of the popular shops within 300 meters, including: Shuguang Shopping Center (with Bawang Cha Ji and Fa Ji Fish Offal), You Ji Bak Kut Teh, Xin Ji Bak Kut Teh, Qi Xiang Bak Kut Teh, Fuyuan Tea Restaurant, Yifeng Laksa, Gaya, etc. You can also visit the weekend night market on weekends. The hotel is at the starting point of the night market. The environment is small and exquisite, the facilities are a little old, and the faucet is loose. The biggest disadvantage is that it will be a bit noisy at night if you stay in the back room. The sound of the motorcycle engine here is earth-shattering.

The hotel is conveniently located. The suite is spacious, clean, and decorated in an old-fashioned style. It is worth experiencing. But it is a pity that they do not pay much attention to details and services in operation. For example, the wifi coverage is not stable. The decoration of the fake terrace is too cheap, the brick wall wallpaper is partially peeling off, and there is no light on the desk or next to it? It is difficult to comment on the service. Our request for extra quilts was met quickly, but the check-in was rather stiff, without even a basic hello. They are either untrained or do not pay attention to service.

The location is good. It is located in the city. There is a famous snack shop downstairs. It is convenient to go anywhere. You can just walk. On weekends, there are night markets and markets downstairs. However, the sound insulation is slightly poor.
