I stayed here for 3 nights upon reading a good review in Tripadvisor. For a 1st timer in KK, the area will set you off immediately, what with the old building, smelly side street & the slow moving traffic during the day (but quiet at night). Nevertheless, the location is really great, very near Waterfront where I saw the most stunningly beautiful sunset ever, where I get my fresh seafood dinners or just spending my free time for a leisure walk. Jesselton Point is also quite near but I always took a cab for RM10 fee (meter starts at RM10 in KK, no choice).
I took a super deluxe king plus 1 'squeaky' extra bed for RM138. The room size is adequate, the bed is comfy, the ac is working fine, the bathroom even though small but very clean & has a shower head the size of your head. The staffs are always accommodating & smiling. Elevator, room service & free wi-fi provided.
Unfortunately, the room has thin wall!! If you have a really insensitive neighbor who watch tv with the sound blaring to the max, sleep is the last thing you can get in the room. Happened to me on the last night, I knocked on the wall to let him/her know about this but he/she turned the volume on even higher. I told the staff about this but it seems they can't do much because hours later the crazy neighbor still enjoying the tv. I'd rather pay extra for a better & nicer hotel in KK next time.
A firm reminder to all holidaymakers in KK, make sure you get a reliable car owner/company who can deliver the car you want before your planned trip or else the whole journey will be disrupted. Happened to me last time, waited for an hour before the car owner called and told me the car is no longer available even though I've confirmed the booking 2 days before.
