The location is excellent and considering the reasonable price — especially with breakfast included — it’s quite a rare find. However, the affordable rate does come with some compromises. The facilities are rather dated and not very well equipped. The front desk is only staffed from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and rooms use traditional keys. There is no fridge or safe in the room. Please also note that there’s a radiator but no air conditioner. Housekeeping was unfortunately the weakest part of my stay. On the day I arrived, I noticed sunflower seed shells beside the nightstand, and they remained there throughout my stay. There were also some hairs left from the previous guests on the bed and in the bathroom. One morning, I asked the cleaner to come back after ten minutes so I could finish getting ready, but when I returned later, it was obvious she never came back — the room wasn’t cleaned, the trash wasn’t emptied, and the towels were still on the floor.
The front desk staffs were never particularly warm or attentive. On the other hand, the two ladies and one young man who helped with breakfast, were the only ones who consistently greeted guests with genuine smiles and would responded to our requests — they left a positive impression.
