    The location The staff was rude and explained me rules so fast when I did the check in, even when I ask to repeat it

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Amazing location; I greatly enjoyed my single room to unwind after exploring the city. The room was not in perfect clean condition (e.g., someone's hair on my pillow), but that was no problem for me.

    Location Cleanness

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The location is good. Subway close by, supermarket close by. AC works wonderfully in the heat wave. The room is very small and the mattress could use a placement. The whole place needs a reno. If not for the AC, I think it would be hard to stay at this place. For the price they charged, I guess I shouldn't complain but to be honest, the room feels like it came from the 1950's. The bathroom is clean enough and the shower facility is old. I stayed in a deluxe double room with private washroom.

    Location Better off staying in the jail. Room was disgusting. Bed ready to fall apart. Had to put mattress on floor as bed unsafe for top bunk. Mould around window and roof.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location was perfect for me. Mostly peaceful and quiet. Water all over floor in bathrooms. Mattress has seen better days. No reading light.
