8/10 Very good

It's a very good option for price-quality ratio. Located surrounded by commercial stores for locals (lights store, ribbon store, small boxes), not for tourist, which means by night it can look so empty and lonely, but I didn't see any suspicious person around. Quiet area, very close to a traditional market, train and bus station. There is not interaction with anyone from the staff, there is a machine on the 2nd floor for check-in and check-out, easy to use. Unique access card for the room to make it safe, outside door is not locked. Shower shares space with WC, washbasin is connected to a pipe for the shower. One of the showers in the room I stayed didn't work, only the other 2. Everything was clean. It would be great if a glowing mark would be on the light switch, the bed is so dark that I couldn't find it at the beginning, also a place for 1 hanger would be perfect and useful as well.
