The hostess Yan Li is very friendly and also very helpful. She shows you around the neighborhood, if you are looking for something specific.
This is a perfect place for anyone going to the ExCeL center. It is walking distance, but easier when you do not have too big or heavy luggage. I had a light bag so I was there within 15 minutes, by walking.

Please note, that this place is not for families, as you share only a room. The hostess herself live there, but she is very co-operative.

There is nothing "exciting" around the neihgborhood. I was strongly advised by taxi drivers to be careful walking around in the dark. So take taxi's even for shorter distances, to be safe.
