Great from start to finish! Clean property that’s conveniently located within walking distance to attractions, restaurants, and shopping. The staff are super friendly and helpful. There’s even a self service laundry in the basement! Between the skywalks and MRT you can get around easily. I will definitely stay again next time I come to Malaysia.

The location is fantastic. I was also given an early check-in without even asking, which was very helpful. The staff were all very friendly, and the service from the doorman and the dining counter clerk in particular was top-notch. This was my second time in Kuala Lumpur following last year, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

The Hotel stay was 5/5. The room was spacious and had a great view. The staff was super nice and helpful. We felt welcomed and the service was good. The hotel is in the center, so MRT, food options and shops were just around the corner. The surrounding might be a bit chaotic and crowded, especially in the evenings. The laundry room is a bit hidden and the machines are a bit complicated to figure out at the beginning, but we could manage it. Definitely would recommend. Thank you.
