Great location and price with some gripes
Pros:

Great location at heart of KK, walking distance to nearby malls, great food and night weekend market right at the doorstep. Laundry and 24/7 convenience store downstairs. Room has split toilet and bath.

Cons:

Small room, the rooms are close to the road so expect some traffic noise, though the streets are usually quiet past midnight. Water dispenser water is dirty and needs a filter change.

Pros:

The room was large and they had a tv. It was cheap.

Cons:

The staff weren’t friendly at all. It’s okay for 1 night but the lighting didn’t work in the room and you can hear everything from the next rooms toilet. It just doesn’t feel like a nice place.
