hot room provided fans
the secure parking was a bonus.
the room was far too hot at 26c. i do not think i suffered this badly since i opted for a cheap non-ac room in bangkok. two fans were provided which meant this problem was known.

Really good stay in a unique building

helpful staff secure entry spotlessly clean environment
The secure entry via a keypad to both the car park and the building added a level of comfort. I appreciated the room service. It ensured a spotlessly clean environment .
The room located next to the staircase meant I heard every step and early morning noise, it was a bit disturbing..

Decent Location, Disappointing Room Issues

faulty toilet broken heating
The room had some notable issues. The toilet didn't flush properly. Only a portion of the heated towel rail worked. I found the underfloor heating in the bathroom was broken.. The main radiator was stuck on, turning the room into a sauna all night. It was pretty frustrating.
