Although it is located a little bit away from the city center, the area has plenty of shops, restaurants, and grocery stores nearby. For us as a big family, the most important thing was that the place is spacious, very clean, and furnished with modern furniture. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone traveling with family.

Room is very spacious, very comfortable bed. My room is facing the sunset so I get to see beautiful color of sunset. Grab is available and the location is very strategic, hence the grab price is affordable. Will surely book here for my next visit.

Apart from a young gentleman handing us the key, our contact was through Whattsapp which was ok. The lady booked a river cruise for us at the last moment, and it was outstanding. For a budget hotel, it was a good deal and I would recommend it. Location was good too.

Value for money. Good location, very ideal for people who want to walk around and explore the city by foot. Decent size rooms for the price you're paying. And they even have irons & ironing boards in the hallways for you to use/borrow when needed. A plus is that it has an elevator (lift).

there are few restaurants nearby the hotel, like the bask bear coffee, grill patio, KFC, speedmart 99 and 7eleven. all are 1 minutes walking distance. and if you only intend to stay at the city, no need to rent a car, just use maxim cuz the hotel location is strategic enough and its cheaper.
