Impressive hospitality from the staff, from the check-in to dining. Ever ready to provide us how-to-go-there suggestion/advice when we check with them our sightseeing plans. The event we were here for was cancelled last minute, but Edric the front desk staff, tooknthe initiative to help us further check and got back to us. Our room was made up very neatly and clean every time we returned from our outings. We had room E on ground floor roomm. Good if you like to step out to the swimming pool which closes at 10pm, good noise reduction measure.
Room is spacious, with artful display of wall photos of yesteryears photos. Maybe some of us feel uneasy of the b&w portraits. Spacious bathroom, heated water may take a while to start. Do note certain bathroom amenities are not included - eg toothbrush, but can be purchased. Comfortable bed and day bed. Sufficient spaces for stowing. Door lock is traditional with key and padlock, so we usually leave our key at the reception when we go out.
Breakfast was a hearty spread of order to make, featuring toast,pancake, french toast. The cafe serves coffee/tea between 3pm to 5pm and a nice slice of cake.
No room refrigerator, turns out we buy less perishables. Help yourself to the complimentary oranges outside and chill them in the common fridge.
Location: it's just a 5mins walk to shopping mall, 1st Avenue. Komtar is next door, and a bit more it's the tourists area. If we are walking back, we often sight for the Komtar tower as a guide.
Overall- Cosy accomodation, with a convenient location and warm service.
Will love to stay there again next time.
Suggestion to hotel.
1. Library has an interesting collection. Would be more inviting if the books get a wipe down as they seems to have collected dust over time.
