This hotel has a fantastic location, just a short walk from the Komtar bus terminal and several shopping malls, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. However, while the service is decent, there were times when the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. The dining options were limited, particularly at breakfast, which was a little disappointing, especially given the overall experience. Overall, it’s a solid choice if convenience and comfort are your priorities.
