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.

Staff, location and breakfast were excellent. The rooftop bar and pool is a great spot to have a drink as the sun goes down. We did have an issue with a moldy shower head which the staff replaced straight away, otherwise a perfect stay.

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.
