Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms showing age — Some guests note the rooms need refurbishment, and a few rooms have windows overlooking the hallway rather than outside.
- Potential noise from groups — During busy periods, school tours can create noise, though management is willing to relocate guests to quieter floors.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited dining on-site — The only restaurant serves Vietnamese cuisine, and there's no mention of additional on-site dining options; guests might want variety.
- Small rooms — A few rooms are small and without windows, which may not suit all travellers despite comfort.

7.9Verified guest“Excellent value for money — the price is fair given the attention to detail and outstanding service. The hotel is handy for the shopping street and District 1's Chinatown. It's basic but has what you need; the room shows some wear and has a window facing the hallway. Breakfast included is a nice bonus.”
