I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was superb, near Central Market, Chinatown, and metro station, making it so convenient to explore KL city. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the service was top-notch. However, there were some stains in the room, but the strong flow of hot water in the shower made up for it. The dining experience was delightful with a Filipino cuisine breakfast, and the facilities were excellent overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, close to Chinatown, the metro, and convenience shops, offering a great view of the city. Unfortunately, the rooms were dirty and smelly, with dodgy tiles in the bathroom and noise from machinery nearby. Finding a good place to eat late at night was a challenge due to the area closing down early, and the constant beeping from traffic lights was disruptive.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms offer a nice view of the city but are brightly lit without proper curtain coverings, giving a bit of a mixed experience. There was a noticeable smell in the bathroom, likely from the drains, which was a downside. The location is very convenient being right next to a central bus station, although the noise from idling buses was a bit of an issue.

The hotel is conveniently located near Central Market, making it easy to explore local attractions like Merdeka Square and Petaling Street. The rooms are spacious and feature great showers, though there was a slight smell issue that wasn't too bothersome. The service is diligent in addressing any concerns, and the rooftop area provides a perfect spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite okay, although we didn't have a window, but they made me happy and helped me relax from stress. The rooms were very big and nice looking, equipped with a mini bar, TV, all the toiletries you'd need, hairdryer, bathrobe, thick bath towels, good water pressure, and swipe card doors. However, the price could be a bit better for what was offered.

The hotel is centrally located with easy access to public transportation and local attractions. It offers a lovely view of the CBD, but the soundproofing could be improved. The rooms were up to date but had a persistent wet patch on the floor, affecting cleanliness. The dining options were limited, although the Filipino cuisine at breakfast was enjoyable. The facilities were well-maintained but some aspects were subpar in terms of the dining variety and room cleanliness.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was small but neat and clean, and the bed was very comfortable with an excellent cooling system. However, there were some issues with the bathroom letting in too much light in the morning and unpleasant smells of cigarette smoke and urine. The location was convenient, with easy access to various attractions, but paying extra for a room with a window didn't feel worth it. The dining experience was average, with a few varieties but nothing too exciting. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
