The hotel is conveniently located right in the town center, making it easy to explore shops and restaurants within walking distance. The rooms, although in need of a makeover with some signs of wear, provided all the necessary amenities. The service, while lacking some attention to detail like explaining room service options, was overall decent. The location offers a nice and quiet stay, and the dining experience, although simple, aligns well with Asian tastes. The facilities are adequate, catering to basic needs.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms are modern, stylish, and very comfortable, equipped with prayer equipment. The service was excellent, including being given a softer pillow promptly and offered a take-away breakfast for my early check-out. The location couldn't have been better, with easy access to local restaurants and shopping. The dining experience was good overall, although I was expecting a bit more variety. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.

The hotel is located right at the town center, making it convenient to reach various attractions. The rooms are quite old but offer all necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, although it may not cater to those seeking a luxurious experience. The hotel provides ample free parking, and its surau offers a peaceful place for prayer. The dining options lean towards Chinese cuisine, which may not suit everyone's taste, but the overall experience is fair.

The dining experience included more Chinese style food, which may not appeal to all guests. Although the food was fair and served in sufficient quantities, I found that it tended to get cold quickly despite efforts to keep it warm.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with stunning sea and sunset views from my city view room on the topmost floor. The service was exceptional, with the lobby receptionist going above and beyond to make our stay in KK enjoyable. The location was amazing, near everything we wanted to explore. The dining experience had room for improvement, but the facilities were top-notch.

The dining area was cozy, but it could be bigger with more chairs. The seasonal dishes were delicious, but overall, it was not as good as we had experienced in other hotels.

The facilities were great, especially the egg station for breakfast. However, the lack of space in the warm dining room until the end of breakfast was a downside.

The hotel is perfectly located in the center of KK, offering easy access to supermarkets, post office, travel agencies, and great dining options. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although the very hard pillows were not ideal. The service was excellent, with attentive staff willing to assist in any way possible. The dining experience was average, with low-quality food options. Overall, a convenient and central hotel.

The hotel is in a good central location just 20 minutes from the airport, offering decent rooms that are very clean & comfortable. The service was efficient, super friendly, and very helpful.

A fabulous spot with city and sea views, the hotel offers modern rooms with a mini-bar and fridge. While the ambiance may feel a bit dark, the overall experience is impressive.
