Had a late check in. Staff stayed up late and remained in contact with me until I reached the guesthouse. There was plenty of water available on arrival and the bed was comfortable. The area was peaceful and we slept like babies.

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.
