I stayed there, but thought that it was barely livable.

I think that you would be much better off going to a guesthouse than The White Orchid.

Although it is in a cool location – right on the edge of Chinatown.

“I stayed there, but thought that it was barely livable.”

Isn’t that the fun of it? The way I see it is, you won’t be spending most of your time in the hotel anyway. So why go for a super posh hotel?

Spend most of your budget on the fun :)

Definately part of the fun, and I totally agree with you.

My point was more that I didn’t think that it was very good value for money. I stayed in much nicer accomodation for around the same price.
