A unique boutique hotel with 5 star level. Warm welcome service with quick check in. Amenities all with environmental free material. Located in a row of shop lots in a commercial zone. A lot of eateries within walking distance. I like the quietness in a room.

The look of the hotel from the outside is so misleading. We passed by the hotel before check in and did not have good vibes about it. But once we entered it was like in a different place altogether! The ambience and feel is so elegant and beautiful. The way to the rooms are like secret entrance to another realm! So cool! The room is so welcoming and gorgeous. Loved our stay and wished that we were there longer!

Beautifully decorated hotel just a walking distance away from IMAGO shopping mall and minutes away from KK Night City Market. Room was spacious, clean and well-decorated. Thank you to the helpful and friendly staff for the hospitality!

We had such a fantastic experience staying at this hotel. It is super comfortable, very well located with good amenities around, and the staff were all very friendly. The design is modern, and yet spacious enough for our family of 4, including 2 young teens. We didn’t really feel like leaving the place. Highly recommended!
