Just the location
No sleeping light provided at the loft. Too dark for kids to sleep. The stalls at gaya street just next to your window so noisy.
3.0
The room I was in was not the cleanest. Especially in the bathroom you could see a lot of dustwebs and dirty spots.
The staff itself is friendly and helpful. But if you ask questions through the booking app (to the owner?), the answer you'll get is far from satisfying. Basically you have to find stuff out for yourself, because the person answering can only respond with: "ask staff".
5.0
Wrong info from booking.com when the booking was made for 4 pax but instead received by the host 2 pax adult. Hope booking.com can give more accurate info about the room in the future.
