Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the city; And the room was clean albeit small. We enjoyed hanging out at the common area and playing with the slide that brings us to the ground floor. We also had a couple of F and B vouchers, including complimentary cocktails, which unfortunately we were not up for it as we had to go to mount KK the next morning.

If it's for young people okay. I myself was okay for one night, but the size of the room I chose twins was small, the bathroom was small. Maybe accustomed to the spacious rooms in Indonesian hotels.

Overall I am satisfied with my stay. The only thing is, many Grab/Taxi drivers do not know Toojou. But if you tell them Century hotel they will know. It was quite interesting to see how the drivers react when I say Century Hotel (One driver shared the Century Hotel story, while some others questioned my choice/recommended other Hotel if I return to KK again.).

You look for convenience & worth staycation? This should be on your list. The facilities are complete and just enough. Located in kk city. Nevertheless, would Toojou mind to enhance the toilet 's glass transparency due to Muslim purposes? Kindly looking forward for it for next staycation. ☺.

We checked in and given bed no 1, 3, 7 and 8 but those beds are already occupied by another guests. When we complained, the staff just told us to sleep at the empty beds left. The bed is quite nice but when someone snores, you can hear it loud and clear. I couldn't sleep til 3.00am because guest below me snores like a pig.

I have a convenient stay at Toojou. It feels like i’m a traveller since my vacation in Europe while I am local. The bedroom is cozy and the bathroom is hygiene. They also provides a place called Office I think for your work space. Suitable for those who wants “secondary upper economical” stay. Not forget to mention the staff also will assist you nicely till you satisfied. But I don’t know about the food. I got the omelette for breakfast. It’s tasty. Just I a little bit hurm at the price. Yet it’s worth a try. However I wish you guys my travel buddies have a nice vacation and memorable experiences at Toojou.
