We turned up to the hotel to find that our 3 day booking (via laterooms.com), hadn’t been received. We got an upgrade to a ‘superior’ room for an additional 10 riggits. After the initial lugging of suitcases up to reception, there is then another set of stairs (and more depending on your floor) as there is no lift.
Room was…basic. There was AC, a TV and mini fridge. Strangely the bathroom was very nice and decorative. The place just needs a clean up and re-décor. The bed was clean, which is the most important item in the room. An old AC unit by the window had dark brown stains running down it, however there was another AC unit which was more modern and worked fine. Worryingly, the fire exit at the end of the corridor was padlocked shut!
The hotel is near to the markets, a few restaurants and malls. KK isn’t that big so I don’t think location is that much of an issue in the town.
We decided to scope out other hotels in the area and decided to leave when we found the little gem of No 1 City hotel round the corner.
