Sherman at the reception made my stay perfect. He is phenomenal. He was the person that checked me in, addressed all my questions during my stay and was there on check out. Seek him out if you ever need a reliable person with reliable updated info in KK. My queen room was beaufitul, with amazing view of the forest, big, comfortable bed, everything is spotlessly clean, well equipped. The location was somewhat uncomfortable to cross the street with a busy aggressive traffic, but once on the other side, everything is within walking distance. Breakfast is ok, but don't expect anything elaborate. Overall, great value!

    We originally booked for 3 nights but ended up with 8 nights. Hotel has that cool, modern boutique vibe about it. Furnishings were of high quality, spacious, staff were well trained and the design of the hotel is just gorgeous. The location was a short walking distance to Imago, convenient stores and cafes / restaurants. This will be our go-to hotel in KK now. Special mention to Linda from Reservation who is went out of her way to accommodate our wish.
