While it may not be the most luxurious option, its competitive pricing and helpful staff make it a reasonable base for exploring the city's attractions. A solid option if you're seeking convenience over extravagance.”

adequate, but some issues
good locationsmall roomtap water
the location was fine because shops and transport into the city are nearby.
the rooms was small. i didn't get complimentary water, other hotels usually provides that. gsh only provides tap water in bottles, it is not safe to drink.
