“A&O amenities, like en-suite toiletries and a secure luggage room, are definite pluses, plus most of the staff are friendly and helpful, especially the managers; its location near tram lines also makes getting around convenient. Though some past visitors mentioned stuffy rooms and unlocked windows, the availability of fans helps mitigate that issue, and communal areas offer spaces for work or relaxation. For budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location and essential amenities, this property could be a worthwhile option.”
