Liked: Cheap private rooms, wifi available in room, great location very close to LRT and Chinatown. Also close to western eateries like Nando's and Kenny Rogers Roasters, which are priced very well compared to in other countries. Self controlled air-con in each room.

Disliked: About as noisy as a private room can be, very thin walls and that echo of emptiness everytime a door is closed on the floor. Still better than a dorm bed though IMO. Shower stalls are in need of a reno.

Liked: - amazing staff although can be in-your-face at times, but make it clear that they're there to help you - safe inside (high security with cameras and always someone at the desk, it's also on the third floor with a key code pad outside) - showers are very strong - own A/C in room and fans everywhere

Disliked: - nervous area although very close to subway (difficult to find first time) - place looks a bit old or rundown, but surprisingly kept very clean. Sketchy-looking the first time around.

Liked: I was very impressed about how the staff remembered the guests names, they were extremely helpful and had great suggestions tailored to my condition / needs that day. It felt welcomed from the beginning. I also really liked the good smell in the hall when you entered on 2nd floor.

Disliked: the one thing I can see improvement in is more space in the showers or at least better facilities to put your clothes while taking a shower and without getting them wet
