Hotel owner Mr. Kew is very courteous, hotel having good lock facilities, rooms are bit small but clean. But i want to aware all that the area outside is very very uncomfortable. All shops near this area goes close by 4-5 pm, and we were walking from indian street alone. If you are couple i would suggest to not to book this hotel, rather find some other place. We booked for 2 days but stayed here only for a half day, neither i got refund.Again if you are accompanied group you may choose this hotel but for a single or couple traveller, not recommended at all.

It is a bad habit to interfere in other people's affairs. (Female hotel owner) I'm here to pick up customers today. She tried to speak in an aggressive tone. Forced to do as she wished. and insulted me and my customers I come to work for a company. I know what my job is. The hotel owner has no right to interfere.//Although I'm just an ordinary person, I don't intend to stay in this hotel. The nearby hotels at this price are cheaper than this, clean, there are many nearby, and there are parking spaces. Hotel owners respect all kinds of people. Don't pretend to smoke in front of customers. The lights in the hotel were not on. I felt sorry for the male hotel owner who tried to tell his mother to shut up. And interfering in other people's affairs I believe if it is a male hotel owner running it alone. It's definitely better than now. If what I say is not true you can bring the police to arrest me.Very bad. Habit of meddling in other people's affairs. (Female hotel owner) Today I came to pick up a customer.

I believe that if the male hotel owner ran the business alone It must definitely be better than it is. If what I say is not true You can bring the police to arrest me.

Not as clean as other people's reviews said. There were cockroaches in the bathtub, and although I was asked to change rooms, the bathtub door wouldn't close, so I had a hard time sleeping all day. The only good thing about it is the location.I really don't recommend it.

The staff stole from us!!!We had items on the balcony that got taken. We confronted them about it and at first “they got thrown away” then “maybe the other guests took them” then they were miraculously in the desk drawer at reception. Truly couldn’t believe it. Even then we only got back some of our stuff, the rest was just “gone.”Don’t stay here if you like comfort or security.

Pros:- Great location- Price- Friendly guy from the staffCons:- not very clean - sheets had stains, no covers on the pillows or duvets (seems doubtful that they clean the whole pillows and duvets after every guest) and there were some bugs in the room- bathroom is very primitive - you will shower above the toilet so everything is wet (no separate shower)- Very unfriendly old lady (owner?)Overall, the location and price are great. If those are your only 2 factors, go for it. We would probably spend more money next time so we feel more comfortable.
