Location is good, the room is nice, however it is a waste to get the lounge access during Ramadhan where the timing is very limited.. renovation is ongoing for the gym, so thats a minus for me.. hopefully the gym is ready when im back again

I was a little disappointed with this hotel. It ticks all of the boxes as far as an average hotel goes but it was lacking in certain efficiencies. Breakfast was organised buffet style but there was only 2 self operating coffee machines which literally takes 2 minutes to dispense one cup. The breakfast area can hold well over 150 people by my estimate & it was packed each morning. This hotel seems to cater to mainly Asian customers so the choice of western style breakfast food is limited. Finding a table for a single traveller such as myself was difficult. There was never any salt & pepper on any table & I had to request some each morning from the staff.
The swimming pool is situated at the front & must be accessed from the 1st floor. Towels are issued by the concierge & the change rooms are above the lobby area. There were only 6 sun loungers & no shade. If it rains the pool is closed due to safety issues?
Strangely I never noticed any fire escape nor was there an evacuation plan on the back of the door in the room to advise what should be done in an emergency. There is no bar in this hotel & those wishing to partake of an alcoholic beverage will be sadly disappointed! This may be temporary as there was some building work going on but I was unaware what was being constructed.
The onsite dining facilities are limited to the Dynasty Chinese Restaurant but I did not eat there. The KK Waterfront is a mere 400 metres walk across a busy road & I found myself dining there on most evenings.

The location close to the city centre and the variety of breakfasts with fresh fruit exceeded my expectations, and I had a great time.

Located conveniently nearby waterfront, shops and entertainment. The appearance of the deco, finishings and corridor could do with some love as it seems a little outdated. The acoustics and ambience of the room did not balance well, as neighbours could be heard clearly and anybody that past in the corridor. Perhaps think of putting soft textures inside each room (rug/carpet, etc) rather than having hard surfaces so that it can absorb the noise and quieten the room. Nevertheless, to thank the housekeeping team, i wrote a small hand written note and left some tips. Unfortunately for me however, I accidentally left my air pods when i checked out. I contacted the hotel but no luck. I have evidence that it was in the hotel but seems like some cleaner picked it up but did not declare it as lost and found. Thus it was never returned to me. A sour ending to what wouldve been a pleasurable stay
Response from Property: Dear Humbletraveller, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. The hotel is undergoing some refurbishment exercise in stages and we appreciate your comments in enhancing our rooms and facilities. On the air pods, we had conducted an investigation after receiving your enquiry but unfortunately no trace was found.Thank you for your support and we hope to have the opportunity to be of service to you again
