Stayed here for two nights, the price/performance ratio is quite high, especially during New Year's Day, other hotels basically cost around 1000, this one only costs 500, and usually only more than 300 yuan

I used to stay at apartment part for student and when my mom come here I move to hotel part. I think it’s better than my previous room. Not bad clean and more quality. I love here cause it have a lot of foreign staff ex thai china korea. That’s why it’s very easy to solve problem when something happen. I love here but I hate a location cause it has to walk above a hill.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helped solve all the problems. They boiled water and stored our luggage. They also helped us get into the room early because we were too tired from jet lag. The price was very affordable. It was about a 15-minute walk from Queen Street. You can also order Uber for takeout, and the delivery fee was cheap.

Very cheap, good for one day stay especially if you have to catch a flight the next day. Rooms were clean and tidy but don't expect any luxury 🙂
