Huge advantage that these chain has another hotel where we can use the luggage room free of charge. It was 2min walk and the staff was super nice.
Negative:
Room was not well ventilated and hot, can't open a window. There is air conditioning but it was either cold or hot, it helped but not enough. Also should know this is an annex to the main hotel KABIN taka, so no reception in the morning or night, only in the main hotel a few minutes down the road, and luggage storage and other facilities are in the main hotel

Good room - immaculate, modern comfortable. Great location. Support from nearby bigger sister hotel which had reception manned all day (not just 2-10pm)
Negative:
Although it's useful to have the small local market opposite, the downside is that it is noisy every day from about 7.15am for 40 mins as the gatbage/recycling truck picks up piles of cardboard. No real impact as I'm awake earlier anyway... but if you're looking for long undisturbed lie-ins (why?! in such an amazing city!) then suggest you try for a room that is not at the front.
Summary: Comfortable and ideal location.

Very clean, quiet and in a good location. Staff were helpful with the check-in process, and the self-serve trolley cart by the lift for towels and other amenities made things easy. They had a luggage storage place at their sister hotel down the road which was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a boutique hotel and the reception operates only a few hours but you can store luggage at the sister hotel which 1 minute away.
The room was spacious and clean such as the bathroom.
Bedding was comfortable.
You will find lovely bakeries 5 minutes away (2/7 kitchen BAKERY and Dining 603)
The location was great and approximately 8 minutes from the metro station and bus stops.
Negative:
The room had a bad smell like moisture and the window did not open.
Summary: We had a wonderful 4-night stay, I definitely recommend it.
