Central located hotel

This hotel is beer centrally located - the drive to the airport was average 20 mins; the Suria shopping mall is a 3-5 min walk and the boat docking port to the islands (gaya island; Sapi island etc) is also 5 mins walk. The staff were always really nice and smiling. The breakfast was definitely fresh and varied. I would recommend staying here and booking the sea view room.
