22 Macalisterz by YourSuperhost
"Stayed for two nights, and the service was good. They only speak English, but that was fine. The rooftop pool is nice. We were on the 35th floor, and the elevators were quite fast. There's a small supermarket downstairs where you can pay with WeChat, which is super convenient. There were a lot of foreigners staying there. The entire building had a strong perfume smell. The in-room washing machine and dryer were really handy, but there's no cleaning service during your stay. The room amenities weren't very clean; they had noticeable marks. Overall, it was decent! Just a quick complaint about the toilet paper – the quality was absolutely terrible!"
