I really loved the location and the room. It was very clean and everything worked perfectly. The staff is very responsive and helpful from the moment of the booking until checkout. They let us leave our luggage in the morning before checking in at 3pm. The area is full of cafe, restaurants, small shops and massage places.

I was very satisfied with my second stay at the aru hotel, but the front desk with a Chinese face hardly spoke. Others are very nice.

The room was big and really comfortable. Shower and bathroom facilities were perfect. It’s on top of a mini shopping mall. Has a gym which was adequately equipped for a short stay. Checkout is 12 so we got the opportunity to use the gym and facilities. And they held on to our bags for a few hours after check out while we got some food. There is a kfc and dominoes a stones throw away and a little shopping district there which has better options than the mall tbf.

    We originally booked for 3 nights but ended up with 8 nights. Hotel has that cool, modern boutique vibe about it. Furnishings were of high quality, spacious, staff were well trained and the design of the hotel is just gorgeous. The location was a short walking distance to Imago, convenient stores and cafes / restaurants. This will be our go-to hotel in KK now. Special mention to Linda from Reservation who is went out of her way to accommodate our wish.
