Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers decent rooms with some slight smells, but overall, they are clean and of a good size. The friendly service staff are efficient and polite, although there was a slight miscommunication about tour options. The location is convenient for shopping and dining, but caution is advised at night. The dining experience is average and could use some improvement.
The hotel offers OK rooms, although a bit overpriced for what they are. The recent renovation made the rooms big, with fantastic facilities inside. Guests can enjoy spectacular city views and awesome sunsets daily, even though it can get quite hot in the afternoons. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.
Staying on the 10th floor, I enjoyed spectacular city views and awesome sunsets every day. The rooms facing the sea and the islands were nice and complete with all facilities. However, I can only imagine how hot it's going to be every afternoon; I guess one has to stay away during those hours.
My stay at the hotel was overall comfortable and enjoyable. The spacious room provided a cozy environment, but it could benefit from an upgrade. Despite some minor issues, it felt like a smoking room, which may not suit everyone. The service was decent with friendly staff, although there were a few instances where assistance could have been more helpful. The hotel's prime location made it convenient to access major shopping areas and popular dining spots, although the crowded and hot street could be a drawback. The dining experience, especially the breakfast buffet, was satisfying with good food choices but could be improved with more variety from other regions. The facilities offered were adequate for a pleasant stay.
I absolutely loved the spectacular city views and gorgeous sunsets from my room, although the heat in the afternoons can be intense. The room was complete with all appliances, including a fridge and a hair dryer. However, the hair dryer was not working, which was a bit disappointing.
The hotel's rooms were fairly spacious with good-sized bathrooms and an excellent shower rose, but it was understandable that there wasn't a qiblah direction for prayer. The service was very friendly, from the receptionist to the housekeepers and managers, though it was noted that staff were not on duty on Sunday until 11 pm. The location was excellent, being near major shopping areas and popular seafood restaurants, making it a key selling point. The dining experience offered a good selection of Malay food and a decent but limited selection of Western dishes. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with nice rooms equipped with all facilities. It was a bit odd that the windows couldn't open for fresh air circulation, but overall, a comfortable experience. The location was fantastic, within walking distance of many attractions and restaurants.
I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. On the one hand, the rooms were not exactly inviting to walk around barefoot due to their size, but they were kept clean, had a mini-fridge, and provided cabled hi-speed internet. On the other hand, the service was top-notch with a very cooperative staff even during late night hours, a promise of a superior room on the next day, and a nice touch of offering coffee/tea directly to guests. However, the dining experience fell short of my expectations with a limited menu. Despite its slight flaws, the hotel is excellently located near malls, night bars, and massage places, making it very convenient for grabbing essentials and the extra entertainment they provide.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were well-equipped with all necessary appliances, but it would have been perfect if they provided a shower cap and had an emergency light available. However, the dripping air conditioning was a minor inconvenience. The hotel's location was excellent, close to malls, night bars, and massage places, making it convenient for exploring the city. The dining options had a good variety of Malay dishes but had limited Western choices. The service was a bit mixed, with some staff being unfriendly while others were very cooperative, especially during late-night requests.
The hotel's location is its main selling point, being within walking distance to major shopping areas and popular seafood restaurants. The rooms were clean but had a tired and old look, and there was a bit of a smell. The service was a mix of friendly but lacking local knowledge and lovely but sometimes blaming others. The dining mainly offered Chinese/Malay dishes and was better than expected. The facilities were satisfactory with nearby transport options.
