I didn't stay overnight, but the food was so delicious that I went back two days in a row. The food here is truly exceptional, inexpensive, and simply the best.

The location is perfect, right in the city center. The hotel offers unbeatable value for money with a lovely view from the top floor and is very clean. Don't expect luxury for the price, but it's more than adequate, and I always felt welcome and safe here. Thank you!

My colleague and I stay here for one night because we had a two-day workshop at Amari Hotel which is close to this hotel. The room rate is reasonable. No breakfast. But don't worry. You can find nearby good sandwich street stalls around 200 meters away. It is the very center of downtown, just next to the walking street. There are a lots of restaurants and massage shops around the hotel. On the veranda of the 4th floor, you can have a nice mountain view.
