I had a lovely stay at Yong Yi Yuen Guesthouse, thanks to its great location near the heritage area and friendly staff. However, the room was a bit dark and lacked natural light, and I was disappointed that it wasn't cleaned during my four-night stay.

The bedroom was small but lovely, featuring a big comfy bed and a nice large bathroom. Unfortunately, my room didn't have a proper window, which made it feel dark during the day. Also, the air conditioning was too cold without a remote to adjust it, and the WiFi didn't reach my room.
