Booked by my husband for our travel from Seoul to KK. Was a nice surprise, beautiful wallpapers and clean rooms. When we reached from Airport at 4 am, the staffs were there and we checked in without any problems. Vincent, one of the staff, was very helpful. He arranged a one day trip plan for us to go around Kundasang. This hotel is also just next door to Gaya Market, and walking distance to many eateries. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and hope to repeat our trip next time 👍🏻
