Pros:

The hotel location is perfect to explore KK by foot. Gaya Street, Padang Bandaran and great shopping complex are all in short walking distance.

Cons:

No designated parking space for hotel guests. As the hotel is located at one of hot place to be in KK, empty parking space is a almost non existent.
And lastly, don't expect a good food at the hotel. Most guests preferred eating out.

床铺问题拉低了我的评分。排除这个，可以给到满意的评价。
Pros:

地理位置很近加雅街。

Cons:

预定了双床房，却给了单床，还说我定错了。
房间设施比较陈旧，但还是干净的。

Buono ma ....
Pros:

Ottimo posizione centrale e la colazione. Buffet ricco per una colazione super.

Cons:

Pulizia camera assolutamente da migliorare. Non è sufficente cambiare le lenzuola. Sotto il letto trovato sporcizia e sul mobilio polvere. Scolo della doccia intasato. Abbiamo dovuto fare intervenire il personale.
