The cleanliness on the bedsheets really need to improve. We were feeling itchi and need to use our own towel to lay on the bedsheets before we sleep. It felt so terrible.

部屋が狭いのは仕方ないとして、ビールや水を買ってきても置いておくテーブルがないのが辛い。 冷蔵庫はあの狭さでは無理だと思うので、せめてベッドサイドにでもテーブルがあった方がいい。

The room was so small that i couldnt even open my suitcase. Wifi connection was unstable. We could hear everything from next room. Location was great.

Been here for the third time, so it cannot be a bad place. Small rooms - as anywhere in KL in this price range - but comfortable beds, good bathroom, spotlessly clean. Windows, which cannot be opened, face an inner indoor courtyard, so there is no noise from the street. Location is right in the middle of Petaling Streetmarket. You can watch it from the terrace in the second floor. Great location. Breakfast buffet is reasonable in that price range. A simple choice of bread, eggs, sausages, jam, butter and some fruit. Nothing fancy, but it is breakfast. Plus juice, coffee or tea. WiFi is good, everything works, staff is very friendly. I would stay there again.

Great location in the heart of Petaling St & close to Central Market & the LRT. Great view and place to relax on their deck. Quaint rooms and some had interesting glass-enclosed inward facing mini verandas. Friendly staff, too.

Booked the room and got a confirmation email which clearly says that the room is confirmed no need to make a call to reconfirm. Got to the hotel and saw a notice that it’s under renovation! This piece of information is not updated on the site whatsoever. Called the front line few times and no one picked up the phone. If you’re gonna be unavailable for whatever reason, please for Godsake update it on all the sites that you’re advertising on. This is truly very disappointing and unnecessarily inconveniencing customers. Never a second time.

The hotel was in busy chinatown but somehow the room was quiet. It was very very basic but good value for money. I liked the people working at the desk.

屋台に入り口が囲まれていてわかり難いです。入り口がオートロックになっているので入るときはインターホーンを押さないと入れません。レセプションは3階にあります。部屋は値段相応です。綺麗にされてるほうだと思う。シャワーですがお湯が出ません。

We stayed just one night, thanked god. The receptionist is nerd and the first impression is bad since I am the one who says "Hi/Hello" to greet them. The room is too small for both of us compared to the hotel we stayed a night before. The bed just ok but the glass compartment to separate room and toilet is not sealed properly that caused the water leaked to inside of our room. There is no TV. And the breakfast on our day is just slices of wholemeal nuts fruits bread, slice of watermelon, and hot coffee/tea. The price to stay is quite expensive and somehow not worth if I compared to the stay we had a night before near Pasar Seni.

Booked based on high reviews from some websites. Disappointed by the room (strong damp smell, a girl's long black hair inside the bed, broken toilet seat), by the manager's attitude on the second night when "they ran out of towels" and asked us to come back later to collect some (we did come back from a dinner out at 10pm to be told to walk back to our floor to find the cleaners who give us some. No cleaners there. So back to the reception where the manager grumpily asked a staff member to get some towels from a nearby room) and on the Last morning breakfast staff looked miserable and clearly didn't want to be here despite our attempt to greet and smile to him.

At 2pm still cannot check-in (Still cleaning). Card cannot open the Main and Staircase door.

Well located. Apart from this, the hotel is terrible. Many ants in room. Poor Wifi. Staff is neither helpful nor friendly , particularly the female receptionist. When I was in the room, the attendant used the master keycard to open the door without knocking! That's a huge invasion of privacy. They didn't even apologize sincerely. Would definitely not stay again! 地點方便是唯一的優點。房間隔音差，有很多螞蟻，並且經常連接不到wifi。前台的女員工沒有禮貌，態度惡劣。最重要的是，員工沒有敲門就隨意用keycard開住客房門，嚴重侵犯私隱。整體而言是我住過最差的酒店。

El lugar está bien. El desayuno muy bien, la habitación pequeña pero está bien si te quedas uno o máximo 2 días en Kuala Lumpur. Está en pleno china town, eso puede ser positivo si quieres recorrerlo y hacer compras pero de noche es muy sucio y bastante oscuro.
