Exquisite ♥️
Pros:

The room and the bathroom is super spacious. It looked exactly as advertised. Water pressure was the best. There is heater too so don’t worry. There are restaurants and convenience stores close by and it is close to the airport and highway. The staffs go above and beyond! We wanted to rent a car the last minute and they happily did it for us. Even help us get our things outside and inside our car (in the rain!). The hotel is 10/10 but staff service is 100/10!

Cons:

Parking was kind of limited. Perhaps to inform the hotel earlier to reserve a spot for you.

Couple short stay
Pros:

Secluded and rather quiet, bathtub is provided and everything is just like being shown on photos with relatively good maintenance but price is slightly on the higher side comparing to all the hotel rooms in the city of KK. They arrange a carpark spot upon arrival for us.

Cons:

however this is different from the new hotel building that's visible by the roadside, sharing by the same hotel management and staff only came over to attend once customer asked for.

The bathtub drainage isnt really practical and the parts were faulty upon check-in luckily we still able to proceed to use it still.

非常满意！！！！
Pros:

装饰：夯中夯 owner是个designer 所以审美很在线 之前看了好几家酒店真的太老旧了 我和朋友一下子就被这家吸引了 马上预定！
硬件：热水 隔音 遮光 夜灯都很棒 可能因为很新 所以设计很人性化 洗浴也是干湿分离 浴缸也有
交通：不得不说这是我最喜欢的！！！离机场和著名日落打卡点都是8min左右距离 重点是这家不在city centre 所以根本没有堵车烦恼！！！每天晚上打车回来 市区的方向都巨堵 我们毫无压力往反方向走（10min到酒店，btw市区从下午3点就开始拥堵了）
