Rooms: Clean.. and i like the woody decor. Very camping style. I loved that each bunk beds has its own blind/ curtain.. gives u your own very private space. Service: Fully... digitalised? So.. i didnt meet a single recept staff... i liked it... smooth check in with the pin to the main door and room, sent to u via email. No fuss. Everything is labeled very clearly. Transactional... depends on how u see it. Lol. Kitchen.. shared space.. homely kitchen. Whatever u use, u wash and return. BAU. Lo
