I stayed at this hotel for four nights and was thoroughly impressed. The location is excellent, right in the city center, surrounded by major department stores like Lotten Isetan and Pavilion. It's also conveniently close to various attractions, and getting a ride is easy. The family room wasn't huge, and the single beds were a bit small. However, the soundproofing was good; I couldn't hear any traffic outside. It was generally quiet, unless neighbors were slamming doors. Drinks in the fridge were refilled every two days, and there was a complimentary afternoon tea and wine each day, which I enjoyed twice – it was quite generous. Breakfast was decent, though not overly elaborate. The only minor drawback was that the hot water would cool down significantly if three people showered consecutively, requiring a short wait. The service was truly exceptional; everyone was incredibly nice and helpful, from the front desk to the restaurant staff and even security. There's a swimming pool upstairs and a paid laundry room. Overall, the value for money is fantastic, and it will definitely be my top choice when I visit Kuala Lumpur again!

The hotel boasts a prime location in the city center, making it convenient to reach all the major attractions. The facilities are excellent, and everything is spotlessly clean. The service is warm and professional, but the absolute highlight was the complimentary afternoon tea. It offered a wonderfully relaxing break in the beautifully decorated lobby restaurant, precisely when Kuala Lumpur is at its hottest. The hotel has truly thought of everything, making this a perfect experience!

Great hotel in Bukit Bintang area. Just 3 minute walk to the main road. Easy to call Grab car service. Many eateries, shopping centres nearby. Staff are all very kind and polite, thank you to Symail (hope i spelled it right!!) and the security guards who helped us check in/ out and taking luggages. The rooms require a bit of refurbishments but didn't affect the overall experience. Aircon is cold enough, water pressure is good, lighting is a bit dim to my preference. Afternoon tea available daily for free for all hotel guests! Great to enjoy some fruits and drinks during the hot day.

From the counter staff and doormen to the restaurant waiters and room cleaners we encountered during our stay, everyone was courteous and helpful. The hotel also offered complimentary afternoon tea for guests, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. Although the food was simple, it was delicious. Enjoying a cup of coffee, tea, or red wine with locally flavoured snacks was a pleasant way to spend a hot afternoon. The hotel’s location was another highlight—situated just outside the perpetually crowded Bukit Bintang area, yet within walking distance of Jalan Alor Food Street.

The pictures are better than reality. Location is good, staff friendly but rooms do definitely need renovation! Mattress are terrible, looks like you lie in a hole. Breakfast is so so. A good tourist hotel but nothing more and luckily that is good enough for the majority of the guests.

Location is great and convenient! Hotel room is sufficient for 3 pax as we booked for triple room. Aircon was really powerful and kept us cool. Only downside was the pillow was too soft.

Pros: Friendly staff. Convenient location within Bt Bintang but away from the crowd. Eateries nearby. Complimentary afternoon tea was a pleasant gesture for guests. Breakfast spread simple but delicious. Cons: Age of hotel shows in the wall, fittings such as basin and water closet.
