The design is definitely there, and the overall architecture is very interesting. The public areas have a great vibe, but the rooms are just average, even a bit basic in terms of amenities. Maybe it's because it was the last night of my trip and I'd been staying in luxury five-star hotels before, so it felt a bit underwhelming. Don't expect too much from the room facilities. The service was very enthusiastic though.

This is such a lovely hotel. The heritage building has been sympathetically renovated to create an elegant, stylish and calming oasis from the hustle and bustle of its buzzy central Petalang location. The staff can’t be faulted either—they were all warm and so helpful; whether this was helping assist our early 4am check-in, delivering our delicious room service meals or organising a much-appreciated 3pm late checkout. The food is great too. We loved having a fixed menu at breakfast instead of the amorphous buffet situations of the bigger skyscraper luxury hotels of KL. We had the best time during our 5-night stay and are very glad we chose Else for our time in the city.

Beautiful design hotel in the middle of Chinatown. Very convenient location to explore the city. You find great restaurants, coffee shops and bars nearby. The metro is also nearby so you can go around town. Rooms are nice but on the smaller side in comparison to other hotels in KL. Breakfast is a la carte and you have a nice selection of options from Western to Asian cuisine. Nice pool area with a view over the old town. I'd definitely come back to this place.

Extremely good service but the view and location could be better. For the price you pay, the luxury is there but the view of homeless people opposite petaling street is not the best. Also, the sheer bathroom doors barely offer privacy indicating a more suitable approach for couples rather than families or friends.

We really enjoyed our stay at Else Hotel - the staff was really friendly, the aesthetic of the hotel was amazing and we really love the ala cart breakfast! Location is also great you can choose to take the metro as it is only a 4 min walk away. Located in the heart of chinatown, we mostly walked to all the locations that we wanted to visit. Highly recommend!

Truly a luxurious 5-star experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is stunning. Every corner feels like a page out of a design magazine. Classy, quiet, and effortlessly atas. Breakfast was a real highlight: beautifully presented à la carte dining where you choose a starter and a main upon arrival, with unlimited coffee, tea, or juices. Everything was made fresh to order. No buffet chaos, just calm, curated indulgence. Every dish we tried was yummy! Quality over quantity, and it showed. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole stay feel personal and high-end. Would absolutely return!

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations. I never imagined finding such a stylish hotel on this street. The room was very spacious and clean. I would definitely choose to stay here again. The breakfast, however, was quite average, and the Cantonese flavors weren't really to my taste.
