It's not worth the money. Stay clear of this one.
"The shuttle boat leaves at 12:30, and checkin is at 14:00? I can only guess it's a cash grab to force people to get lunch at the hotel's restaurant. Checkin was chaotic. We had to wait for an hour for our room to be ready. Hotel staff put us in an un-airconditioned room to sweat in the heat along ..."

    5/5 Excellent
    "Very friendly and helpful staff. The duty manager was willing to go the extra mile and got my boarding pass printed out though she had her hands full managing the guests. Breakfast is good with a decent array of food. Adding some vegetarian options would be better. What I would remember the most is the smiling faces of the (polite) staff who are ever ready to assist. Overall, my family and I had a pleasant stay at Holiday Inn Express KK. "
