"The staff is great and the facility is unique and interesting. Lots of seating space and places to chill by yourself or with friends. It was my first experience at a box hotel and i don’t think the rooms are my cup of tea so probably not a return guest. Nothing wrong at all i just need some outside world visual qeues that are lacking in a box room."
