The hotel is conveniently located near the central station and a night club, making it easy to explore the beaches and museums. The service was lacking in friendliness and flexibility, especially in customer service, and the price seemed a bit high for the overall experience. The dining options offered simple dishes without much variety. On the bright side, the rooms were comfortable and had curtains that helped with the brightness.

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the city with easy access to town hall, museum station, and the bustling Chinese market. It is also very near the central station, surrounded by plenty of restaurants, making it a great spot to explore the city. The service, however, lacked in flexibility and customer care, but they did offer assistance with laundry and tours. The dining experience left much to be desired with a limited fruit selection. Overall, a decent option with a few drawbacks.

The hotel is conveniently located near the central station, making it easy to explore the city. The Aussies' warm and welcoming nature adds a friendly touch to the stay. However, it is a bit far from the town hall or Central station. The rooms are cozy, but the lack of curtain affected my privacy a bit. The customer service definitely needs improvement as they were not able to accommodate any requests. The laundry service was efficient, but assistance with tours and tickets was lacking. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering basic options like white rice. The facilities were decent, although there is room for enhancement.
