Room types range from simple private rooms with a shared bathroom to en-suite rooms with a private bathroom and kitchenette. Some rooms include a microwave, fridge, and tea/coffee facilities. The property occupies an older building with carpeted floors and winding hallways; rooms may show signs of age such as worn carpet, damaged window blinds, and older furniture. Some upper-floor rooms have sloped ceilings. The bed quality varies, with reports of both comfortable and worn-out mattresses. Noise from neighboring rooms and the street can be noticeable. The property is split across two buildings a 30-second walk apart; the building assigned at check-in may not be the one pictured online.

For a fuller breakfast or non-Asian cuisine, driving 15 minutes or using public transit to other neighborhoods is necessary.
