Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and a really awesome walkable location right in the heart of the Gaya Street area. Lots of great restaurants, markets, and a nice park nearby. The staff kindly let us store our luggage for a few hours after checkout which was very helpful.
Be careful going up and down the stairs if you have big feet like me! They're very narrow.

Everything was perfect, the room, the bed, the staff. If you’re searching for a clean and quiet place this is the perfect place! Placed in a very central position and near to the sea.

The furniture really gave such a vibe to the place, also everything is new. The staff was the most caring and welcoming!
Can't think of anything, the lift probably too small for someone claustrophobic but I didn't mind using the stairs instead.
4.0 / 5.0
Simple for overnight trip and very clean. We had a room just nice for my family of 4.
it’s unique that the bathrooms are not inside the room. perhaps the hotel should mention it.
5.0 / 5.0
Everything is perfect!
If you stay there on Saturday night, most likely a bit noisy due to the bustling night market activity at Gaya Street.

A very professionally managed hotel with every comfort. Very nice and helpful staff. Well located. Comfortable bed, very clean bathroom, pleasant care products.
The air conditioning must always be used, otherwise it gets unbearably hot in the small room.

I had a really good rest. The staff were really kind and said that there was no medicine for seasickness, so I was completely impressed. The facility is clean and the friendly perez and leonard are still fresh. Thank you

Strategic location with morning and night market around the area, and lots of eateries with shopping centre. The hotel is new with new facilities. No cabinet, but who actually needs cabinet in hotel 😏
The room equipped with smart TV, with Netflix and YouTube. albiet small with this price, it has everything u need. Good for short, free and easy stay.
They gave us a room behind the street, so it's quiet and the window is soundproofed.
The staff is nice and polite, and checked on us when we meet. Perez helped us during checkout, we have nice experience in overall.
There's a weird smell in the toilet that will linger awhile in the room. No safety box for people who requires it.
4.5 / 5.0
Great Location! plenty of cafes & restaurants nearby. room is comfortable & it has a smart tv, you can netflix & chill after a long day exploring KK. night market along jalan gaya on Fri & Sat just infront of the hotel, a bit noisy but not much once you’re in the room
parking. since there’s night market on Fri & Saturday, and then weekly tamu market on Sunday morning, you need to park your car a bit far from the hotel.
4.5 / 5.0
Great location and very friendly staff, the room is also quite new and clean.
washing room is a bit smelly, maybe due to old pipelines
5.0 / 5.0
very clean, friendly atmosphere
online prices were significantly cheaper than at the reception
5.0 / 5.0
Staff are amazing and extremely helpful. Hotel cleanliness and brightness. price is extremely well positioned given the location of the hotel to the centre of KK.
You are next to Gaya Street so on a Friday and Saturday night, as well as Sunday morning there can be a little noise. This is just the market and people socialising, not partying. The hotel offered us ear buds to help us sleep. We didn’t have them and we were fine.
