“Nice property with accommodating staff, especially when we asked to change rooms at 3am. The room was very comfortable and bright, with a safe, climate control, and minibar. The pool was great, and the location near the historic city centre was perfect — close to shopping, tourist spots, Bandar Hilir, and a shopping mall. There's also a restaurant on the ground floor.”
