I had high expecations but wow. Fantastic service. I was given my own whatsapp what where this place provided me with all the info I would need without even asking for it. Instant response and even good morning texts with tips about everything made this visit very comfortable. The room was extremly clean and the quality was amazing. I have never experienced anything so priceworthy ever, a lot of value for your money spent. The room also had everything you might need like soap, water, coffea, tea and so on. Great shower and the bed was amazing. The place also felt very safe even though it was situated in a dirty building.

Everything was perfect, room fully equipped with anything you may need. Bed was huge and really comfy. Staff were great and very accommodating. Location was good, not the closest to KK but very close to the airport which was what we needed. Our only issue was that the pool closes every Wednesday for cleaning which meant we couldn't really use it as we stayed late Tuesday to early Thursday. However, the gym was open which was good for a small workout.

Everything was wonderful! The room was spacious, cozy, and felt like home. The staff were so kind and helpful—I always had lots of questions, and they answered everything with a smile. Breakfast was very good, with so many tasty options to choose from. I stayed for five days as a solo traveler and felt completely safe and comfortable the whole time. I truly miss the place already and would love to come back again!

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.
