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.
