Staff are really friendly and nice, everything is walkable shops and dining options, the buffet breakfast is really good but just doesn't really change its the same meals. Overall amazing place to stay at.
Jonathan, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jang Jing Hanif, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great service from all staff, especially those manning the reception desk. Location is good with a 5 to 10 mins walk to Bukit Bintang area. Room is spacious enough for triple sharing. Room was at the end of the corridor. Corridor is too dim.

Denis, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
