The location is quite central. I found myself close to the palaces, and there were many shops around the premises. The room was super clean. I noted it was always kept clean .

On arrival, there were no signs indicating that the lobby is on the eighth floor. I entered a dark building without any clear directions. I had to ask a mailman to find the lobby.
