Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic — This is a 2-star property – don't expect luxury. Some guests note that similar priced rooms elsewhere in Chinatown are more comfortable and cleaner.
- No breakfast included — Breakfast is available for an extra charge, but it's not part of the room rate.
- Check-in can be tight — Check-in is limited to 14:00–23:30, with check-out between 08:00 and 12:00. Late arrivals may need to make alternative arrangements.
- Mixed overall rating — With an aggregate score of 6.1 out of 10 from 157 reviews, the experience can be inconsistent – some guests love the location, others find the basics lacking.
