Acceptable Location, Disappointing Room

staff incompetence thin curtains

The location was undeniably convenient for my planned excursions.

The fire alarm blared late one night. It became clear the staff on duty had no clue how to handle it. This poses a major safety concern. My room curtains were also so thin the room flooded with sunlight at dawn.. Road noise was intense since the windows offered zero sound insulation.

adequate stay

good size excellent location security door steep stairs

the room was a good size. its location next to oxford street was excellent. i used it as a hub for my short stay.

the front security door did not close hence did not lock. steep narrow stairs were present to access rooms. our room did not have aircon, but there were 2 aircon units outside our window making noise throughout the night.
