It’s an amazing hotel. The service is excellent, way above average in Malaysia. The breakfast is amazing. Nice pool, and perfect location. But the best is the rooftop bar to watch the sunset. Leves everything! It is an old building but everything is beautiful and clean.

    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.
