Conveniently located near Bukit Bintang shopping district and night market (Jalan Alor). Staff are friendly and take the extra step to cater to the needs of guests. One plus point is that the hotel provides complimentary afternoon tea/snacks and supper/hot desserts in the evening.

Staff, location and breakfast were excellent. The rooftop bar and pool is a great spot to have a drink as the sun goes down. We did have an issue with a moldy shower head which the staff replaced straight away, otherwise a perfect stay.

Perfectly situated, you can walk to so many places including the night food market without the noise of the main road. The rooms was clean and with all that's needed. The staff was really helpful and professional. The swimming pool was definitely a nice ad-on considering the weather.

Fabulous location

The location of this hotel suited us perfectly - eateries very close, several bars nearby, Bukit Bintang for retail and public transportation is convenient. While the hotel is rated as 5 star, it is a bit tired in parts, but it's quiet and comfortable. Free snacks are served from 3-5 pm each day and happy hour starts at 4pm. We would definitely stay there again.

The staff are all wonderful, very friendly but professional. The rooms were great with everything you would need for a few days in KL. The position is very near public transport which was reliable and quick. Grab works well but the traffic can be very busy. The shopping mall The pavilion was a mere 5 min stroll away and had good eateries, shops & coffee shops in an air conditioned mall. It was the start of the covered walkway to Petronas towers so a pleasant 15 minute stroll. Would definitely recommend if wanting a good 4 star hotel in KL
