Its a budget hotel that tries hard to excel. We got an upgrade for free and the room fitted our standards. The hotel management were quite helpful and the hotel is close to the metro. Take the ferry from two streets away into town for an added bonus. It was a budget hotel that suited us!

I was calling them to figure out the rate and vacancy. The guy speaking to me spoke Chinese for a while and then English for another while. And he even rudely hang up my phone when I didn't hear him clearly.
