I had a decent stay at Ram International, particularly because it was budget-friendly and conveniently located near popular spots. The room was small but clean, and the air conditioning worked well. However, there was no Wi-Fi available, and I wasn't impressed with the basic TV options. Overall, if you're looking for something affordable without expecting luxury, this place is a solid choice.
