| This place was convenient! Just off the MRT Jiantan station, and follow the little signs that point you to the right direction. I had no trouble reaching there. However, the staff does not speak English, so be prepared to speak some mandarin. The overall environment is a quaint, student-friendly venue for less than $30/night. I will be back again. | ||
