What we say:

You won't find better value than this long-running Chinese hotel in the city centre. Rooms are furnished with your choice of one double or two single beds and a surprising number of creature comforts like air-con, a big LCD TV, free WiFi and free drinking water. Guests have their pick from a massive DVD collection which is displayed in the lobby and sorted by categories like Schwarzenegger Movies and Gigantic Animal Movies. If you've just come back from a few days in the jungle, a movie marathon in the air-con may be exactly what you need. The proprietor is a friendly character who can arrange cheap taxis and laundry service or advise you on where to eat.
