My favorite hotel in Malaysia! The staff were so helpful and personable. Every detail was thought of and this made for a cosy, comfortable stay. The salt water pool was an added touch. We will definitely be back!
Nice Modern Hotel on the Edge of Chinatown close to the big Maybank building. Excellent wrestling and lovely pool area.

Calm retreat in the heart of the city. Close to sights and easy to reach from the airport.
Staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. Aesop products give a wonderful scent to the room and luxurious touch when showering.
Clean and modern. Lovely staff. We had a power cut during our stay which meant no breakfast first morning. We were only there two nights. Breakfast the next day was so good, we were even more disappointed that we’d missed it the day before. The only negatives I would say is that no reparations were made for missing breakfast and the air conditioning was not very cold. Apart from that, it was great.
We enjoyed the location and short walk petaling street, central market and MRT station. Breakfast is really great we get to try different variety and is fresh made to order. Will definitely consider staying again for future visit.
The location is perfect for visitting many sights...ALL staff are absolutely welcoming and helpful even after you have checked out...very comfortable beds and pillows..
Fabulous breakfast selection
Fantastic location near Central Market. Staff were friendly and accomodating and I loved the modern chic (and clean) rooms! Beautifully designed hotel.
Great room aesthetics , good customer service and complimentary breakfast is definitely a plus point. Easily one of the best hotel experience i've ever had!
Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice facilities.

Room was compacted, clean and functional to a good standard. Aesop toiletries were decent and lovely linen slippers.
Friendly doormen and receptionists. All very good except that we got no views from our room.

A small hotel with friendly and efficient staff, they remember your name, assist with choosing activities and check if you have found your way. It is a beautiful building with comfortable bed and room and everything one could wish for.
It’s in a hipster and convenient neighbourhood with colorful bars and eateries. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. The decor was very tasteful and comforting. Don’t miss the great breakfast at Raw.
Gorgeous hotel. Amazing infinity pool overlooking iconic skyline. Delicious three-course breakfast. Very friendly staff and modern room amenities. Highly recommended. Also it's located just steps away from some of KL's top attractions.
I loved my stay at the Else and highly recommend it to anyone visiting KL. It was the perfect boutique hotel experience. The service was impeccable and the hotel was beautifully curated - it had a lovely library, unique art work and luxe bathroom toiletries. I found the location very convenient as well. If you are a light sleeper I would recommend you book a room that overlooks the pool. My room faced the street and it was quite loud due to night time activities.
Highly recommended. As a frequent traveller around Asia, this is an absolute jem. The dining options are faultless. The staff are very professional and friendly. They do their best to make Malaysia a place you want to come back to, which we definitely will be doing.
Thanks for a wonderful stay.
This is truly an oasis in hot and humid KL. The staff were fantastic my entire stay. Breakfast is good. Cooked to order, not buffet. Not a large selection, but enough. I will stay here again next time I’m in KL.
