Everything about this hotel is perfect! The room is clean, the staff is friendly, and the location is great. We especially love the pizza from the restaurant on the 11th floor—it’s the best we’ve ever had! We always stay here when we’re in KK. Highly recommended!

Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
