I don't like BR and Laundry room is 8th floor but no elevate and stair was so steep and dark. I show the picture from expedia . It looks like good. I feel like they cheating me.
I can't do the laundry there.
The staff was friendly. The room clean. Good bedding. Appreciated having breakfast. Great location for sight seeing. It is not a fancy hotel, but it provides all you need. Also it was quiet.
The location of the hotel is very convenient for sightseeing, close to a metro station and two palaces and a temple. The room was very small and had only a small window looking at a wall. Just good enough for sleeping, but not to spend some time in it.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I got a double room and I am 5 foot four, but Room was extremely small. Bathroom was also very small. The sink was extremely low. I kept hitting my feet against the bed post which was raised. Do not recommend if you’re taller than 5 feet.
It's a budget hotel..but the staff are A+. The included breakfast was tasty and plenty. Location is a gem...both in terms of walkability and public transport. Dining option are awesome.
The hotel is near by all important areas in the city, very accessible and easy to reach different places by subway, bus or walking
The staff was amazing, all of them very friendly doing the best effort so the language wasn’t an obstacle
