The lobby smells nice. Staff are really helping.

The access to go outside, must bring the key to scan the lift everytime. Other people can't stay inside room with that conditions. The towels also late provided. We arrived around 4pm on a rainy day, can't shower because the staff said towels still in dobi. Got towels around 7pm.

The price is very affordable, can walk to the waterfront. The breakfast is awesome because they serve plenty of dishes. Has coway at every part of their hotel. Has a vending machine to easier for the customer to buy snacks or even maggie and mineral water. Has parking site but first come first serve. The only startled me was that if you stay in a single room, the toilet door and glass are transparent, you even can watch the tv while bathing. But no one cares because you stay alone. Would recommend it because the staff services tiptop even I ask so many questions to them.

I like how the lobby was really neat and beautiful, with vending machines that sell things you might need like snacks, meecup, toothpaste & toothbrush, shampoos, Gillette and many moreee. They even have massage chairs! It's really beyond my expectations. The staff was very very friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay there again in the future.☺️

I actually expected more on the breakfast buffet, but then again with the price I paid, even a simple breakfast is more than enough. That day they served nasi santan or nasi goreng(?), bihun goreng, sambal nasi lemak, and lauk² like ayam kicap, hotdog goreng bawang, deep fried pumpkin, laksa sarawak, rice porridge and toast. I mean, it's still valuable, it's just that I thought there would be more choices. Although I think they should improve on the taste of the laksa sarawak 😁 other menus are okay. Also the hotel management needs to have a checkup on every room, one of the lights was not working and the faucet on the sink 'tertanggal' when I turned on the water🤣 Other than that, all are okay 👌🤭

A clean, well maintained hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Free, filtered water dispensers in the hallways were a convenient bonus. Excellent location, just minutes from grocery store, riverfront, Chinatown, etc. a great value overall.

The hotel is surprisingly well kept and clean. The location may be a bit far but it didn't stop me to go for long walks. The room is very spacious and has a fridge

My only complaint is that there were knocking noises during my stay and that bothered me a lot. The aircond in room 202 was leaking when I was sleeping, hopefully they will get it fixed.

The hotel lobby has a lot lof vending machines and enough to buy little things. The area is filled with grocery stores and in the city centre. The room is cleaned and everything seems to have been prepared before checking in. For the price it's recommended for short stays.

The bathroom door handle is missing.
