Total of 5 floors, each floor has it's own ironing facility. Rooms are okay maybe can include basic amenities such as vanity kit. Requested for a room with window, but the view was toward the inner part of building (view of aircond compressors). Just next door to it, is a restaurant/café (Plan A). Walkable distant to china town and surrounded by banks, pharmacies. Overall it was okay for 1 night stay.

Nice business hotel with comfy no frills amenities. Furnishings are new and polished. easy access to shopping and nice cafes as it's in town. Parking at the back also good but limited. The hotel photo showing gym is not true as only for walk in guest for others have small fee to pay 😒. No snacks or refreshments provided at lounge as stated in room poster. Hotel reception staff male unfriendly did not have welcoming persona i had to call on him to ask question but he answers reluctantly..

Prepaid via Expedia RM170 (plus tax) a night for three nights in their 'Superior' Single Room. At check-in, discovered the room was being advertised for RM75 and contained no cupboard, drawers or mini-fridge. When I asked reception for extra hangers and a towel, was refused. Glad I brought all my own toiletries as there were none in the room. Checked out a day early because I was so unhappy with the room and service and (of course) was refused a refund on the night I was no longer staying. Extremely disappointing experience.

Smelly pillow and bed sheet
The bed sheet and and pillow is a little bit smelly, please wash or clean it, remove the smell. If this can be improved, I’ll definitely give 5/5 star. Overall it’s good.

New, clean and comfortable hotel
New, relatively comfortable hotel. Rooms are a bit barebone and could be better designed. But everything is clean and functional. One let down was the staff, who were not very friendly.

Very comfortable, cozy, good staff. The parking a little bit far and share with outsider even though you dont need to pay for the parking. Sometime it's hard to find a parking spot and a little worried about your car as it far from the hotel. I suggest to prepare a parking space for the guest only.

Clean and chic design room, good service even though we need to be patient during check in due to limited persons allowed at the counter now. Location is excellent, close to Chinatown and they have dedicated parking behind the hotel.

Recommended!
It's a great place to stay, their hotel is clean and the service is good. The place basically is in the centre of the city so it's easier to go anywhere by car or you can even walk. However, bear in mind that it doesn't have small refrigerator in the room and they don't have an air ventilation in their bathroom. But anything else is great!

new but unclean hotel
People are nice though slow but it’s ok. Hotel is new and nice and modern deco. I think these the reasons people rated high for this hotel. To me, besides nice, hotel MUST BE clean. I found hairs (Not mine) on top of the bedsheet and under the blanket. This indicated they did not change the sheets which is gross.

The service of front desk staff on 21/02/20 is disappointing.They cannot explain clearly to customers on the confusion of availability of the room due to changes in check-in. They should improve their communication skill and customer service.
