Cozy little spot in the middle of the city

It was kinda tough to figure out where the place was given the small sign and hardly noticeable numbers due to the color choice. But after going up about 4 flights of stairs, comes this cozy little spot in the heart of the city. Air conditioner works fine and the food offered was alright. Just don't forget to bring your own shampoo/soap and towel!

大推薦！

非常讚！ 唯一小小缺點是沒有電梯，以及公共空間沒有冷氣。 但是瑕不掩瑜，很對得起這個價錢了！服務跟早餐比我朋友住的星級酒店還好
