We got the top floor which had a good view of KL tower and twin towers. The family rooms were spacious and interconnected which made it very convenient. There is not much of a space available for taxis to pick you up in busy hours so that was a little inconvenient. Breakfast didn't have much of an option if you are a vegetarian. But they still accommodated us for few days and had 1-2 items added in menu. They also provided early checkin on chargeable basis. You will also have to pay tourist tax of RM 10/night. Overall a decent accommodation with in city center.

Great location right by Petaling Street. Our room was on the corner of the top floor with a view of the city and skyscrapers. The room is spacious enough for two. Our only complaint was that the bathroom seems run down, for example the towel rack was broken. The bathroom is small and the toilet doesn’t flush well. Other than that the room was well maintained and clean. Housekeeping was helpful and check in was easy. We had an early check in at 12pm for an additional 50rm.

Good location but that itself may not be enough

Not the first time but the hotel seems to have aged noticeably since my last stay in 2019. Management needs to pour in resources to uplift the condition of the rooms particularly the bedding before the conditions of the rooms deteriorated to a noticeable level. Given the fact that there are many more newer hotels coming up within its vicinity. The hotel has already lost one advantage when KKKL no longer pick up and drop off passengers at its door step. The counter staff were less than warm and welcoming compared to the last few rounds of my stay.

I liked being able to walk out the door and into the streets filled with food vendors, restaurants and merchants. Hotel was clean, newly refreshed, friendly helpful staff, fast elevators. Downside was weak wifi signal in my room (upper floor at very end of hallway). I would stay here again.
