My recent stay at Hotel Sansu was a mixed bag. The location is spot-on for accessing the city center, but the room left much to be desired, especially with the lack of air conditioning and musty smell. The staff was genuinely helpful, but my experience was marred by a narrow bathroom and some pricing confusion for basic amenities.

I had an excellent stay for nearly two weeks at Hotel Sansu while my brother underwent surgery. The staff provided amazing service, from the welcome drink to the help with my travel plans. However, the bathroom could have been larger, and there was a slight issue with water pricing that caught me off guard.

I found Hotel Sansu to be a mixed bag. The price was incredibly budget-friendly, especially at $96 for three days and two nights. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the rooms left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort.

Rooms

The room was spacious, but quite run-down. I noticed a funky smell that disappeared when I turned on the AC. Unfortunately, there were no towels or proper bed covers, which made sleeping less comfortable.

Hotel Sansu is tucked away in a backstreet, which made it a bit hard to find. It's about a 15-minute walk from several hospitals, which was convenient for my medical needs.

Dining
