Fantastic location right in the middle of downtown. The rooms are spacious, well-kept and tidy. Staff are friendly and direct. A smooth check-in process that is all self-directed.

The hotel boasts a convenient location right next to the famous Rainbow Road. While the official Flybus shuttle bus stop from the international airport is No. 3, it might be closer to get off at No. 6 when going to the hotel. However, when going from the hotel to the airport, it's downhill, so No. 3 is fine. I stayed in an 8-person female dormitory, and it was convenient that there were toilets and showers both inside the room and in the hallway. The shared cafe was very relaxing and nice.
