well located

The hotel is well located, a short or moderate walk from a number of tourist attractions. There is a convenience store and various restaurants nearby. I appreciated the laundry and the gym and other guests seemed to be enjoying the common area. The staff was always friendly and helpful.

Immaculately clean and exceptionally comfortable, this accommodation is ideally located near top sights, great dining, and the LRT. Rooms are well-appointed with filtered water, in-room soap, shampoo, body wash, and lotion, with additional toiletries available at the front desk. Thoughtfully maintained and welcoming, it’s a perfect base for a convenient and relaxing stay.

Excellent hotel

Great hotel. Big room which was immaculate. Great friendly service, comfortable bed, great shower (important because can have weak showers). The location was excellent too, walking distance from Eco park & China town. Food options available minutes away & close to train station. Laundry facilities were excellent. This was our favourite stay in 2 months of travel.

Convenient hotel near Chinatown

Located less than 10 mins walk from Petaling Street Chinatown, also less than 10 mins walk to the LRT / MRT station. No issues during my stay, friendly staff and Wi-Fi worked. Room cleaning services not provided daily so do clarify when checking in so you are aware. A gym with a few machines and some weights. Washing machines and dryers on-site, pay at reception for token (around MYR 22), washing liquid included. My first stay at this hotel and I was happy with it.

My real rating is 3.5. Here's why. Rooms - rooms are spacious, great cold a/c, clean and beds were very comfy - I slept well. Facilities are good. Hang out spot, laundry, etc. Service - hit or miss. There were a few male employees that were really nice, but the female staff were cold and not very helpful. The staff that checked me out was nice and let me store my luggage for a few hours in the lockers after check out. Breakfast was pretty bad. A breakfast box they heat up in the microwave, which tasted terrible, and a apple or orange juice. Location is ok in my opinion, very busy streets near the train, but some blocks (especially near McDonalds) didn't really feel safe to me (solo female traveler). One thing that irritated me. I stayed here for 2 nights. Feb 5th and Feb 6th, check out Feb 7th. On the evening of Feb 6 (also my bday), after a long day, and finally falling asleep, I was woken up at 11pm from staff. They banged and rang door bell continuously - they wanted to give me a baggy celebrating my bday. Nice gesture but you couldn't have delivered in the morning or afternoon? Overall ok stay for a quick in and out in Kuala Lumpur.

Very clean, spot less and new hotel. All perfect including warm and friendly hoteliers. Quiet area, bus stop to Bukit and KLCC just in front of hotel and drop off, Tourist spot and market are walkable in 5 to 10min. Will stay again in this hotel Downside: no convenience store nearby but walkable in 5min, with vending machine and hotel restaurant, no ref in the room but doesnt affect my stay
