Nice stay and friendly staff

The staff is very helpful and the location is great A 5-7mins walk from Xi men Ding It was very nice of the staff to arrange 4 bedroom for us to ease me moving around but will be great to have a bigger locker in the room. The toilet will be nice to have a curtain so the toilet wont be wet after shower. The room is clean but it doesn't have lift so is more for a bag-packers stay But in general, I enjoyed the stay

ที่พักแห่งนี้อยู่ในแหล่งชุมชน อยู่ในซีเหมินติง ทำเลดี ใกล้ร้านอาหาร ที่ช้อปปิ่ง รถไฟไต้ดิน แต่ที่พักค่อนข้างคับแคบ และฉันได้พักชั้น6 โดยที่ขาไม่ดี รู้สึกเหนื่อยมาก ที่ต้องเดินขึ้นลง 6 ชั้นทุกวัน เพื่อนของฉันได้พักชั้น 5 ทั้งๆที่มีปัญหาเรื่องขาไม่ดี ส่วนห้องพักเล็กมาก เดินสวนกันไม่ได้ เตียงไม่แข็งแรง ผ้าเช็ดตัวไม่ได้เป็นผ้า เป็นกระดาษแบบใช้แล้วทิ้ง ฉันพัก 3-4 คืน ต้องเดินเอาขยะกับผ้าเช็ดตัวกระดาษไปทิ้งเอง ขาระบม
