Location is good, near the main train station and bus terminal but tuk tuk driver said far and ask for 300Rs. Dorm room is relatively small for 4 persons with luggages. Have enough toilets and shower cubicles. Have a rooftop but nothing to see. Free breakfast.

プライベートルームで予約し、チェックインしたら予約が取れていなくてドミトリーを案内された。(ちなみに同じ日に来た旅行客もそのような対応されて、結局同じ部屋に) 次の日以降に空き次第部屋を案内すると言っていたのに、何事もなかったかのように同じドミトリーに案内された。 またも接客がひどい。店員はロビーで寝てるし、タバコも吸うし。何よりミスに対して何の謝罪もない。部屋も汚い。ロッカーも鍵があるけど簡単に空いてしまう。 朝食つくって聞いてたけど、結局一度も出なかった。とにかく落ち着かない。 ホテルの場所も分かりづらい。
