It was very clean, and the staff was extremely helpful. Free luggage storage is a great option! My bed was also very comfortable. A lot of amenities were available including cosmetics and earplugs.

Top class customer service. Friendly hosts that were extremely helpful, with proactive and professional communication. The quality of the room was great - one of the most comfortable beds we have stayed in during our travels with good quality towels, linen and pillows too. Well priced and a nice local area. We ended up staying an extra night, in a different room, and had a consistent experience.

Everything about this hotel is perfect! The room is clean, the staff is friendly, and the location is great. We especially love the pizza from the restaurant on the 11th floor—it’s the best we’ve ever had! We always stay here when we’re in KK. Highly recommended!

    Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
