“Lotus Central Hotel has a surprisingly cool capsule-style dorm alongside more traditional rooms. The location is central, a real plus, though solo travelers should note the area can feel unsafe at night. What stands out to me is the proactive staff; they quickly addressed an odor issue, which is exactly what you want.”
