        overall, okay.”

        the location near the city center, shopping, restaurants and bar. the room kinda big suit for a couple. for those who like to stay here, i prefer you guys to check the description first. luckily i book the room include breakfast. because one of my family member book room here (walk in) and no breakfast included. the worst part here is the low water pressure in pipe system. hopefully, management take a note about this problem. but besides all these, all the staffs was so nice & friendly :)

        Good value for staying in KK”

        Staff was friendly. Room was clean and quiet. Good air conditioning, internet service and bed. The location is great as there are malls and restaurants nearby. The breakfast buffet was very good also. I would stay here again and recommend the hotel.

        Best centre point hotel!”

        Very recommended because the locatiom is at the centre point of KK and very easy to anywhere in KK. Besides, the hotel is opposite starbucks so there is no prob to have breakfast. Also, near hotel u can get the dobi, mcdonals, night market and pasar filipin! The price also affordable and the room will be clean every day even u don't request for it 😳😳
