    Pretty far from the city center is the main problem , but the room is clean & lovely kitchen & friendly people have offset it for me. I have 2 night in the doom room. the price for Doom staying is unbeatable, its also just next to the supermarket - Bonus make cooking really convenient, but do prepare to have a long walk to the BSI for tour bus. (which takes about20 - 30 mins) )
