M World Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Been staying here for my business trips and has always been a pleasure. The room is spacious enough with high ceiling and have complete toilettries and clean.. Haven't tried swimming but this area is the hotel's biggest asset as you can see in the photos. This hotel is also connected to a mall, with 5 minute walk and seemed to be connected to train station. I just hope that the the lounge with conference room would be open for use for others not just for suite guests -even if it's charged as we need to work together."
