New and modern hotel. 5* level.
Amazing hotel - real 5* level. The location is little bit far from the old town, but the transportation in Malaysia like Grab is cheap and convenient. Really nice rooftop bar and pool with the views of the city.

Luxurious accommodation with great facilities
Hotel felt like it was relatively new, staff were very attentive and easy to chat to. Amazing pool on the roof, and gym was well equipped. The hotel is in between two large malls with loads of eating options, and travelling in taxis was really cheap compared to UK.

The service at the reception was good. But the attitude from the cleaning staff was bad. One of the cleaning staff showed his anger while changing the bed sheets.
After check in we discovered the bed sheets got stain. We requested to change the bed sheets.
I had to made three times phone calls than the cleaning staff came to our room.
While the cleaning staff changing the bed sheets, I saw blood stains on the mattress protector and the mattress! We felt so disgusted.

Breakfast food choices are not good, food quality are poor, some of the pastry are hard and dry feels like reheated leftovers food.

Honestly, I don’t know what else a good hotel could offer that G hotel is not already offering it. If I want to put this hotel in one word I use the word perfection, from every point of view.

Enjoyable Stay
Front Desk Geetha/Gita was friendly and welcoming on our check in/ check out. Hotel is conveniently located between 2 large malls. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Only downside is the hairdryer was very weak and water from the showerhead was relatively weak as well, maybe an isolated case of the power source.

Very friendly staff, king-sized bed was very comfortable, roof-top pool/deck with great views; however, pool should be cleaned more often as I noticed pieces of what seemed to be paper floating underneath the pool while swimming, great breakfast with good variety, and the free mini-bar is a bonus!
