Very good hotel with small room

I liked the hotel it's close to the train station property is clean staff is nice. Room was little bit funny for me you have a sink in the room I have never seen it before and my first reaction was where is shower because after I got in the room I saw door on the right and was only toilet but there is another door on the left for shower not used of this kind of layout. Breakfast is mostly Asian food but there is bread too.
