The
exceptional
feature
of
this
property
is
its
layout
and
customer
service.
The
staff
exhibit
impeccable
manners,
kindness,
and
attentiveness,
with
a
constant
cheerful
demeanor.
Despite
the
signs
of
aging,
the
establishment
was
arguably
one
of
the
top-rated
hotels
in
Asia
in
its
prime.
However,
the
setup
remains
one
of
the
most
remarkable
aspects
of
this
property,
with
fully
private
pods
that
include
efficient
air
conditioning,
invigorating
showers
with
great
pressure
and
hot
water,
and
a
range
of
complimentary
shampoo
and
body
wash
products.
There
is
an
abundance
of
well-lit
toilet
and
shower
stalls,
each
equipped
with
a
fold-down
working
table,
convenient
outlets,
storage
shelves,
and
spaces.
In
addition,
each
room
is
equipped
with
a
secure
locker
and
ample
storage
space
under
the
bed.
Food
and
beverage
options
are
limited
to
coffee
and
pre-packaged
snacks,
with
a
rooftop
area
providing
a
somewhat
dated
but
functional
space
for
relaxation,
work,
or
pleasant
vistas.
During
my
stay,
the
elevator
was
out
of
service.
However,
the
beds
were
exceedingly
comfortable,
and
overall,
the
value
offered
by
this
property
is
outstanding,
considering
its
age
and
former
status
as
one
of
Asia's
finest
hostels.
The
location
is
also
commendable,
with
easy
access
to
popular
attractions
such
as
the
beach,
restaurants,
fast
food
outlets,
and
convenience
stores,
making
it
a
convenient
base
for
exploring
the
city.
The
front
desk
is
open
24
hours,
and
luggage
storage
is
available.
While
the
lobby
lacks
air
conditioning,
hot
water
is
provided
in
this
area,
albeit
with
limited
seating
options.
In
conclusion,
this
establishment
offers
excellent
value
for
money,
with
its
exceptional
layout
and
customer
service,
convenient
location,
and
comfortable
amenities,
despite
showing
signs
of
aging.
