I liked the fact everyone looked out for each other a lot of sweetness. It was quite and even though I was on top bunk mattress was comfortable. I disliked the dodgy tight key that didn't work to room. I was the only women in a room full of 7 man. For a younger person this would make some nervous. The receptionist was so cold didn't even smile when I cracked a joke didn't even greet you as you entered place very rude Asian the older Asian who was working evenings the younger Asian was fine but the older one was rude

Solo stay · For business

The room smelt of urine, extra charges that weren't disclosed at time of booking e.g Security deposit for room key, The male toilets had vomit all over 1 cubicle, and staff didn't care about it and spoke English because they had to and spoke in Mandarin between each other in front of guests. Would not recommend at all, and certainly not going back there
