“My stay here was notable, especially in the capsule rooms; they provided some of the best sleep I've had while backpacking through Southeast Asia. The air conditioning was also a plus. While there was a small issue with the cost of a three-bed room versus the online price, overall I found the staff kind and helpful.”
