The room was clean and nice with a cold AC. We got it because it was near the train station. They allowed us to check in early which was great, since it was cleaned and available. Which doesn’t always happen in other hotels even if they are clean and available.

The location is very convenient. However, there’s no place to put shampoo in the shower room, so I had to leave it on the floor, which was inconvenient. The smallest room is a bit too small, so I’d recommend getting a slightly larger one instead.
