The hotel prepared a nice birthday decoration for my father (which he was so touched and could not stopped talking about it). Tq so much Elvina and the Team for their kind hospitality. Shout out to the maintenance team for quickly responding and rectifying the issue of our toilet when we raise it. And the location is so strategic. Hopefully I could come back soon whenever I come to KK.

The outlook and facade requires a little uplift as it’s quite tired looking, with a couple of shops in the front that has been abandoned and a back exit that’s sort of unused.

But the inside interior is still relatively well maintained with an abundance of air-conditioning which is greatly appreciated after an entire day out!

The property does have a few gems - Malcolm from front office and his enthusiasm, 4 nights in the hotel and he was the only “duty manager” that appeared during happy hour to assist the lounge staff.

Fredlee from the lounge for his warm hospitality and prompt service!

Although a few minor hiccups here and there but the team was able to take ownership and assisted in every way possible.

Management needs to take corrective action for those few particular individuals who obviously have zero service inclination and borderlining on rudeness.

Our favourite hotel in KK when on golf holiday. Due to the hot dry weather, the golf courses were scorched with the fairways turning brown, we decided not to play. Instead we spent most of the time at the Club lounge, for breakfast, afternnon tea and pre dinner cocktail.
The staff at the lounge were exceptionally helpful and friendly esp Peter, Regina, Laurens, Shirley and a few others.
The lounge was crowded during the cocktail but the staff managed the situation well.
Sunset view from the lounge was amazing and the quality of food was good with daily changes.
Check in was managed by the exceptionally efficient Shirley and the room was spacious and comfortable.
We will definitely return.

It was difficult to find a boutique hotel in KK but this is a good clean hotel with friendly staff. The breakfast was big and varied and the pool was great. The hotel is located by the sea front offering an ideal location to explore all KK has to offer. Would recommended this hotel if you’re staying in KK.

My heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service I experienced during my recent stay at your hotel. Cedric's recommendation of the "Welcome Seafood Restaurant" was spot-on, offering a delightful taste of local cuisine at a reasonable price. Shirley's swift response in arranging a late checkout for my afternoon flight ensured a stress-free departure, while Malcolm's attentive assistance in promptly resolving a room issue and upgrading me to a higher floor with a stunning sea view truly enhanced my stay.

Each member of your team demonstrated a commitment to excellence that exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism and dedication to guest satisfaction made a lasting impression and contributed significantly to the overall enjoyment of my visit.

Thank you all for your outstanding hospitality and for making my stay truly memorable. I look forward to returning in the future and will certainly recommend your hotel to others.

Cons - The breakfast needs some improving because we felt that seeing Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah for 3 mornings has made us little interest to consuming it. No complaints on the taste though.
