I couldn't ask for a more convenient location, right in the heart of the bustling red light district. The rooms were meticulously clean and gave me a unique view of Lady Boy Alley. Sadly, the service lacked warmth and efficiency at times, leaving me a bit disappointed. The hotel's dining experience was satisfactory with homemade products to enjoy. A stay with its ups and downs but worth the value.
