Reviews
Hotel is walking distance to Pavilion Bukit Bintang. I love the traditional vibes of this hotel. There wear traditional attire. Please maintain ya the vibes.
Repeat again? Yes☺️
Sorry didnt took photos of the room. Only videos.
The hotel is located near Pavilion and is within walking distance. With a price tag below RM400, it is definitely worth staying at this hotel.
Hygiene: The hygiene was excellent, very clean. I brought my own sheets but didn't even need to use them.
Environment: Fantastic! I was initially worried about insects and snakes, but I didn't see any, which put my mind at ease.
Service: The front desk staff was very attentive during check-in. It was my first time traveling abroad alone, and my English isn't great, but I was checked in and in my room in under ten minutes. Staff helped with luggage both getting in and out of the car. When I was lost, one staff member even helped me with directions and chatted a bit. In short, everyone from the main entrance to the front desk, to the restaurant, and even staff I just passed by, greeted me with a smile. They were all very polite and friendly. I will definitely stay at this hotel again when I visit Kuala Lumpur!

The living area was cozy, and the bedroom was comfortable with a good bed for a restful night. The apartment was well maintained, and having extra space was definitely a plus, even for a short stay. Everything was tidy and functional.
The location is great — close to the city center and within easy reach of shopping areas, attractions, and public transport. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. A great option if you’re looking for a comfortable apartment-style stay in Kuala Lumpur. Would gladly stay here again.
Allocated a room at level 5, went into the room, the door lock is spoilt, room phone is spoilt. Went down to lobby to request for room change.
Allocated another too. In the same floor. Notice the room air cond not very cold. Thot may be we just on the air cond, ithe room should be cooler later. Went to KLCC for dinner and shopping. Came back around 10pm ++. The room is warm, air cond is not functioning. Called front deck for help. They sent the technician, whom confirmed the room air cond is not working.
The front deck Ms Hana who handled us is not qualified to be customer service front deck. Let us wait for quite some time. Don'tevrn offer complimentary upgrade room for us. Ended up shifted us to a room at 3rd floor.
In the mid night, discovered the toilet bowl stuck. Hv to call front deck again...!!!!
The service is unsatisfactory, the hotel condition is bad. Technician told us air cond in a lot of rooms is not functioning 😕
Really has unforgivable experience in this hotel. Spoilt my Christmas!!!!
Generally, it was a good stay. However, we encountered unpleasant noise coming from the top floor and requested a change of room- the manager obliged which was good.
Room service takes time. Buffet was more on local delicacies since they get a lot of foreigners. Salad bar can be improvised with more varieties.
For international guests please be informed that this hotel does not serve alcohol.
