The deluxe room was spacious, even the toilet. The bed is probably the most comfiest we have ever experienced in KK. Overall, if you are looking for a mid budget hotel with maximum comfort this is it.

We originally booked for 3 nights but ended up with 8 nights. Hotel has that cool, modern boutique vibe about it. Furnishings were of high quality, spacious, staff were well trained and the design of the hotel is just gorgeous. The location was a short walking distance to Imago, convenient stores and cafes / restaurants. This will be our go-to hotel in KK now. Special mention to Linda from Reservation who is went out of her way to accommodate our wish.
