The location was really close to the center. the staff was friendly and cute. i was able to leave my luggage after my stay and collect it later. i found the pillows so soft. They didn't give me a neck ache when i woke up.

The bed was very hard. i also found it uncomfortable. i heard the neighbors. That was annoying. i heard some kind of machine noise from the outside too.
