    Staff, Location, Cleanliness, Comfort - Excellent. The staff were accommodating and responded very fast. The place was in the same building as Imago, however, you use a different lift to enter. Not a big deal because it is very near and convinient. Cleanliness of the space was very good. Everything is new and clean. Comfort - Bed was squeeky but comfortable. Food - Lots of restaurants within Imago, but the building next door also offer budget local food.

    Very central location in the old heart of KK. Close to lots of cheapfood places, laundromat etc as well as the city’s malls etc. Much much better quality place than others we saw in similar locations for the same inexpensive price. i have stayed here a couple of times before and will again. Very good value for the money.
