Groups and families appreciate the spacious layout, multiple rooms, and proximity to Jonker Street. Basic but well-kept; some note the building's age.

What recent reviews say
Most guests find the rooms clean and well-equipped with AC and fans, located within walking distance of Jonker Street and food hawkers. Staff earn consistent praise for warmth, but one dispute led to guest blocking and claims of unfair accusation.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
