    Nothing really.

    For KK it is excellently placed right by all the markets and easy to get to the islands from the ferry near by. The rooms are VAST and very comfortable. But the main thing is the FOOD. It is insanely good. We stayed during Ramadan and the evening buffet is unlike anything I have ever seen. I just can’t even describe how good it is.

    The room air conditioning was quite weak. We set the temperature at 19 but most of the time it felt like it was 25. It was comfortable at time but I would prefer to have a better air con system.

    The staff were lovely friendly and super helpful. We’re bringing our luggage up. The daily clean and reset of our room is pleasing to see when you come back after a long day exploring the town. The location was convenient as well close to the beach in the seaside.

    Little improvements will go a long way, e.g. notepad by the phone, better lighting in the washbasin area (couldn't see myself while shaving!), and no soap-dish! Also, the sliding panels are really old and creaky, falling off the track at times. These are not expensive improvements, but they will go a long way for long-stayers like us (2 to 4 weeks average).

    Location, room size and comfort, and of course, excellent staff. Must mention Ka Yee the Client Experience Manager, she really looked after us throughout our stay.

    The executive lounge for check in, plus the breakfast in the executive area, the food is so limited end up we went to the lobby to have our breakfast, which has more variety.

    Location is convenient.

    This is a good hotel chain, but it’s starting to show its age. Breakfast can be chaotic, with a bit of a rush and not always enough seating available. On busy mornings, some guests are seated in the bar, which isn’t ideal. Another downside is that many rooms have windows facing the interior of the hotel, leaving you with no sense of time — you can’t tell if it’s day or night. That said, everything else was great: the room was comfortable, the food was excellent, and the cleanliness was up to standard. Overall, a solid stay with just a few quirks to consider.

    1) The TV was so old-fashioned. The TV reception was blurr. It is time to replace the TV with Internet TVs with easy access to YouTube which I watch everyday. 2) Clothes and towel hangers should be provided in the toilet and shower cubical. 3) The design ergonomics of the toilet is lacking. The sink is too high and too forward requiring users to lean forward. The rain shower should be installed nearer the wall to minimise water splashing at the door.

    1) The room is big. 2) The interior design is traditional. 3) The open toilet concept. 4) USB ports are provided for phone charging. 5) The location is very good within walking distance to the seafood restaurants at the waterfront.

    The furnishings were a bit dated and I thought it wa poor that a 5-star hotel shower was over bath with a curtain. Breakfast was chaotic. Very busy and the room layout led to lots of congestion. The only bar was the pool bar and it did not operate in the evening

    Great location near to the seafood weekend dining. The pool was good and the pool bar attendant gave good service. The room was large and well- equipped.
