A modern hotel slightly outside the centre, on a hill overlooking the city. Taxi to the centre of KK is 15RM, to Tanjung Aru beach 20RM (even though it's three times as far!). The room was spacious and clean, modern-style with white furniture and laminate wood floors. Good shower and bathroom in general. Breakfast was great, with a vast selection... More

The hotel is located a bit off center. I didn't expect the taxi fare so expensive in kk. So I would recommend stay inside the city to save the transport fare. And at night people would sing ktv at the hotel lounge. Somehow the room i stayed could hear their singing quite clearly at night. And that was really annoying... More

The hotel is actually located nearby the city centre but not within walking distance of any other places of interest and furthermore the entrance route to this particular hotel were diverted further from the actual distance that you think where it was located (it seems near but drifted away kind of place). However if you prefer a more privacy, and... More

The room was big and comfortable. Breakfast is also nice even though I didn't have much time to enjoy it. The location of the hotel is fairly central but requires taxi service to get around town and back to the hotel. I needed to get some work done, but the wireless Internet signal is not always reliable even though they... More

The only hotel in Malaysia that propagandises recycled theme successfully. They collected acidic food waste to turn into detergent for housekeeping use, no plastic use throughout, Having the one and only non smoking karaoke bar, the Glamorous and most public area are non smoking too; stress only homemade sauces and recipe in the restaurant, planted various vegetation as kitchen supplies....

The hotel overall was quite reasonable for a budget hotel, decent breakfast, slightly overcrowded swimming pool, staff were keen to please. Unfortunately for us our suite had an overwhelming stench of stale cigarette butts that no amount of airfreshener or airconditioning could budge, we checked out after just one night, not on our list of places to revisit.
