This was an excellent choice! The apartment is beautiful with great shower and comfortable bed. Location is central and the service was top notch. The owners were superfriendly and very helpful! They responded very quickly and even helped me out with storing my luggage while I was in Sandakan. Thanks a lot, will definitely book again when I come back to KK!

The staff is amazing - nothing was too much trouble and they were all really friendly. Special mention to chef Oliver, Connie, Jumiati and the rest of the staff in Café Tatu; Norman and the staff in the Horizon Lounge (top, top breakfast). It seems a little unfair to pick those out as every single staff member we encountered was exemplary at every level but we had the most interaction with them. Very well done to everyone. We will definitely be back!!

    Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
