    I think the outside glass windows need to be cleaned regularly because the dirt outside blocked the nice view

    The room size is just nice, with more than enough plug point at multiple sides of the room, make it very comfortable for charging every electrical gadgets ... the bed and pillows are so comfy, with very clean linen and towels. The foods are marvelous, love it. So many choices for breakfast from local to western menu. Dining area is spacious and comfortable. The most important thing is a declaration of HALAL certified.

    All was great

    The hotel’s pool and rooftop bar was amazing (especially if looking for a place to watch the sunset) but most of all I loved the staff - all were kind and helpful from start to finish.

    cleanliness could be improved - carpets were stained and in need of a deep clean. Some areas in bathroom not cleaned. Bath amenities were surprisingly basic. Breakfast (room service) portions were huge but disappointing

    well located in the city plenty of food and markets nearby super friendly and helpful staff, great service spacious rooms

    No bad words for this hotel.

    The hotel has outstanding facilities, staff and catering. Our room was fresh and cleaned daily, with a gorgeous view of the KK waterfront and sunset. We had breakfast included, which was excellent quality and had a great variety of food everyday. Staff were hospitable and very helpful. The value for money is great considering the prestige of this hotel chain.

    There's no private beach access

    Fantastic sunset view with white egrets coming in to roost and sleep on the trees in front of the swimming pool which is on the 2nd (3rd) floor where there's a small bar. Although there's no access to the beach, there is the quayside row of bars and Italian restaurant just 300 m walk in front of the hotel (crossing a busy main road). Behind the hotel are lots of small shops (not really selling anything attractive to tourists BUT there are 2 kopi tiam (traditional non air-conditioned coffee shops) within 80 m selling 1) pork noodles 2) selling tom yum, curry and prawn noodles and also wah tun hor. They open at 7-4pm only. Further on behind the hotel around 900m is KK garden which has a few seafood restaurants, the one I would recommend is Shiang Tian. Lots of Korean tourists seem to like it there cos there's lobsters, crabs, fish etc

    The smell of the fish market is disgusting and therefore relaxing at the pool and rooftop bar is not so great. Room is a bit old and run down, e.g. the bathtub is dirty and rusty.

    Very modern, nice location, totally friendly staff and very good breakfast with lot of options. Also the room service is delicious and affordable. We had a very beautiful ocean view. The gym is great, it has everything you need.

    First night couldn't sleep at all, facilities are old and in the room Marriott standard scan was not there. Just old not tidy and dusty ...it seems like empty for a while.(they already told me fully book, at this point I do not understand, I have sent an email told I will be late check in...) However, appreciatively some reaction from the best staff _ changed the room and gave me smiles.

    Location is perfect Near the markets and nearby lots of good restaurants and great massage places (really nice prices) facilities are old but great staff. They are all open ears. Thank you I have enjoyed it your hospitality in the end. If I come back to KK. I will come back to you.

    Room was facing the afternoon sun so it was a bit warm, the AC was a bit weak.

    The house keeping may need improvement. Only the washroom is cleaned every day. The beds were not made. Once the towels that have been used were left at the corner and not taken away.

    The room is large and has a good view of the sea. The attendants at the dining hall are very friendly and provide good service. We are welcomed and guided to a table, and asked if we need any drinks.

    Everything is perfect! From the very start, staff are super accomodating to my request. She even helped me with my marriott bonvoy account. Locationwise, couldnt be better. Very near to the markets, servay supermarkets are within walking distance.
