Relatively good place for cheap charly backpakers...however overpriced for the offered amenities. Fotos on booking do not tell the truth of the real place. Two common toilets and one shower for the entire house, depressing entrance, steep staircase..A total delusion.

The accommodation experience at Cocoa is very good, and you can feel the warm hospitality! It is located near Little India and is also close to the mural street. There are many Indian restaurants around that you can try~

Because I missed the flight, it was already 8pm when I arrived at the hotel. I told the store that I would arrive before 10pm, and I didn't contact the store before I arrived. When I got downstairs, the store owner actually stood downstairs to greet me. At that time, it was completely dark. I dare not think how long he had been waiting downstairs. I didn't expect that someone would wait like this for a guest who only stayed for one day. I originally thought that I would contact the store owner when I got downstairs and he would come to open the door for me, but he was downstairs when I arrived. Later, when I left the hotel to play in Penang, the store owner also recommended attractions and local specialties to me. I arrived at night and left early in the morning, so I didn't know the situation of the cafe. This hotel should be converted from an old Chinese residence. Those who want to experience it can try to stay for one night. I stayed in room 6. The floor of the room was very clean, and it can be said that there was no dust. The facilities were just a little old, but it was very tidy and there was no discomfort. When I came, the store owner asked me if I was from Japan? I said no, I'm Chinese, and then I saw his eyes paused for a moment, I didn't know what it meant at the time, and later I saw a Japanese kimono doll hanging in the room, I think it was because of this. I was not angry about this, I just sighed at the store owner's attentiveness. The hotel also provides drinks and meals, but they are in the public area, which is not a good thing for people like me who like to be alone, but now that things have come to this, maybe I can change myself and enjoy the process of interacting with people. When I checked in, the store owner also carefully introduced everything about the hotel to me, but my English is not very good, so there are many things I don't understand, I can only judge from his body movements. The store owner is very enthusiastic, but I am a little afraid of this kind of enthusiasm shown by the other party when interacting with people. Although this enthusiasm is very innocent and has not crossed the line, it is just dedicated to serving his guests and introducing his small shop, but if the store owner ignores me and only arranges what should be arranged, I will feel more at ease. In general, if I give this hotel a full score of 10, the owner's hospitality and attentiveness would get 6.5 points, and the remaining 2 points are due to my filter for old Nanyang dwellings, because I spent my childhood with my biological mother in such a house, and a few points are for friendship.

Although this hotel is relatively old, it is still acceptable for a short stay of two days, and the service staff are quite enthusiastic.

Located in Little India, it is very close to the tourist area and various museums, but those who mind Indians should consider it carefully. The owner is very enthusiastic and will actively communicate with you. It is best to have a certain level of English to communicate, otherwise it will be awkward. The atmosphere of this homestay is very family-like. Various items including drinks and snacks, toilets and bathrooms are shared, but you will not encounter crowded toilets and showers. There are also cats, which are very friendly. The biggest disadvantage is that there is no comfortable quilt, only blankets, and the room assigned has no windows.

The staff in the store are very friendly and can ask for help if you need anything. The environment is relatively clean. The disadvantage is that the water column for bathing is weak. The public space of the hotel provides a variety of self-service, which is very suitable for long-term travel.

The host is very nice, the 2 kittens are very cute, the food in the public area is free to take, there are refrigerators, microwave toasters, etc., and you can meet people from different countries, which is very good. By the way, there will be free breakfast every morning, and occasionally fruit
