A really nice modern hotel with everything you need. The breakfast was a nice mix of Asian and Western - I loved having a bit of each. The room and bathroom were of a high standard, spacious too. The fitness room was small but the equipment was very good, well-maintained (except that the bike and cross-trainer were in imperial units rather than metric - so annoying but I couldn't see how to change the settings). The 100% Seafood restaurant directly across the road from the hotel is really very good The hot-stone massage at Ventus in the corridor behind the seafood restaurant was just amazing (90 minutes, last 20 with the hot stones - I'd never experienced anything like it before). The actual massage room is on the first floor and is very nice.

I booked this hotel way ahead of time so the price I payed was suspiciously low. It made me a bit uncertain, but once I got there I was so beautifully surprised! This hotel exceeded my expectations- is seems new, fresh, immaculately clean. Originally designed bathrooms are a nice and elegant surprise. Beds are very comfortable and a choice of pillows gives you comfort at night. Breakfast is tasty and there is a lot to choose, mostly Asian style but this is obvious. Good coffee and „adventurous” Malay sweet section. We loved hotels’ restaurant - nice vibe, great outdoor part and menu with lots of delicious choices. Prices are really low - unseen in hotels of this quality. Definitely recommend both for food and drinks.

We stayed here for 2 non-continous nights in 2 different rooms. I was definitely impressed how well the staffs were trained and the room was exceptionally comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was alright and parking is convenient. And I’m not gonna lie, the lobby washroom is one of the best washroom I have ever seen in my life haha.

The room was clean and new. It totally surprised us as the room was considered quite cheap. Breakfast was included with a variety of food. The location is excellent. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would definitely opt for this hotel again in our future visit.
