I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was fantastic, close to markets and food spots, the rooms were rather small and didn't have windows, making them feel a bit stuffy. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but there were some quirks with the service that could be improved. Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for convenience and value for money, but don't expect luxury.
