I was planning to stay at a hotel when I heard from my best friend to try this lodge instead.

Personally, this is great place to be.... More

Stay for 4 days in Aug 09. Book the room with transport but no one was there at the airport. In the end, we have to go to the lodge by ourself. Luckily KK was not a big place and the taxi driver knew his way. Although we order for daily breakfast but was surprised we can only have 1... More

Very very roomy and it comes with private bathroom. The location is also perfect. You can walk to various shopping malls,night market(but boring) and sunday market. If... More

Within the Hotel... More
