the location was quite convenient for exploring the nearby park. i found the communal coffee area very useful with its offerings of tea, fresh water, and coffee. the room included a bottle of water, juices, lollipops, bamboo toothbrushes, and slippers. beds were comfortable.

The room was a bit small. the window faced a wall. It did not provide much natural light.
