This is my second time stay at the hotel. Service is excellent as usual and my kids enjoy the breakfast buffet spread. However the towels are not as clean as the last round.

New and modern hotel. 5* level.
Amazing hotel - real 5* level. The location is little bit far from the old town, but the transportation in Malaysia like Grab is cheap and convenient. Really nice rooftop bar and pool with the views of the city.

Luxurious accommodation with great facilities
Hotel felt like it was relatively new, staff were very attentive and easy to chat to. Amazing pool on the roof, and gym was well equipped. The hotel is in between two large malls with loads of eating options, and travelling in taxis was really cheap compared to UK.
