it was ok for a night or 2, but if I stay more than that I will go elsewhere.
Pros:

Location, at the centre of kk, easy access to banks, suria sabah, dbkk jetty..

Cons:

coffee packets not interesting, shampoo and body wash are the same, no conditioner, no toothbrush and toothpaste given, the ironing board is stick to the wall outside the room so have to bring all my clothes outside and do my ironing outside as well which is not practical in my opinion, for a price of 130rm per night without breakfast is a bit expensive, the least you could give is a bread toast, eggs and coffee.
