Great price, convenient location, and snacks provided. The sheets, duvet cover, and pillowcases were silky and comfortable. Staying for 2 nights was a good experience.

The room is small and windowless, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable, cramped, or stuffy. There are many dining options nearby, and 24-hour snacks and drinks are available. There are also public computers and laundry facilities on the first floor. The breakfast is quite good. The price is much higher during the Lunar New Year, but it would be an excellent value if you stayed on a weekday.

I've stayed at other branches before, and this was my first time here, which was also excellent. The room was comfortable, the soundproofing was good, and the breakfast was delicious. There were also massage chairs and snacks available for free use. Most importantly, the staff were friendly and very kind to children. I will definitely come again next time.

Using Klook meant we didn't have to wait in line to buy tickets on-site, saving a lot of time. This CWT event had many new products, and we left with a lot of great finds.

The DIY package is a great value. Grinding your own beans to make soy milk is a fun, healthy, and delicious experience. There are also interactive games and great photo opportunities. On weekdays, you can even see some of the production process.
