Hotel Compass

Air conditioning.

No shower curtain.

I'm quite satisfied with my stay because well, as a smoker myself, smoking is permitted here which is quite hard to find nowadays. Thus, you will definitely smell cigarette smoke in the hotel itself (they do provide a bin with an ashtray on top on every floor of the lift lobby), no surprises here and it's not family-friendly in a sense this way. The room was relatively neat and clean and bed was comfortable; quite a feat as a one star hotel and you get to have your private bathroom, just the bare minimum of what you require for a night's stay. The nearest bus stop is just 1 minute walk away so it's good. They do provide you with a complimentary set of toothbrush, toothpaste, shaver and two bottles of water every day so do ask at the counter. The Wi-Fi here is damn spot on, so you can watch your Netflix all while chilling with a cigarette or whatever you like to have while watching movie (be sure to bring your own HDMI cord to watch on TV because they do not provide it).

You will expect to find some insects like cockroaches hiding underneath the cabinet, like those baby ones but I see that they're trying their best to exterminate them (well, at least the adult ones didn't creep into the floor that I stayed at). The mirror in the toilet has some permanent stains on it but it's not a big issue. The view isn't that fantastic, you'll see other hotels and apartments opposite. You will have to walk quite a distance if you like to eat (they do sell food and they have a menu in the drawer - mostly chinese western but I have not tried it yet). The place feels kind of cheap but I cannot complain when they have already provided the basic necessities and for the price of a one night stay. It can be quite noisy at some points at night and in the morning but it was no biggie, people are generally considerate here. Finally, well the check-in can be slow because they operate things pretty manually so please be patient with them.
