10/10 Excellent
"Room is big and spacious. Location is good as near to KSL. Only thing for improvement will be to provide more toiletries and if there is a hand hold shower head rather than just the fixed one."

8/10 Good
"The hotel is about 10 to 15min walk from City Square and easy to get to. Initially, we did not know how to get there, so took a bus from JB Sentral, #J10 and drop about 350 meters from it. Staff guided us to go to the 3rd floor carpark and turn right towards Public Bank, City Square is just after it."
