Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can be small and basic — Some guests were disappointed with the size of the rooms, describing them as 'terribly small' and the property more akin to a motel than a hotel.
- No on-site parking — Guests arriving by car will need to find alternative parking arrangements, as the hotel does not provide parking facilities.
- Inconsistent housekeeping — One guest reported that housekeeping only came when called, and that the room and toilet were dirty, suggesting cleanliness may vary by stay.
- Limited facilities and services — The property is minimal – there's a small reception, no cafe or lounge, and the dining options are limited to a coffee shop and in-room breakfast, which may not meet expectations for a 'hotel'.

6.9Verified guest“I didn’t really like this hotel, but I couldn’t book anywhere else, so I had to stay here.”
6.9Verified guest“I was shocked when I arrived because the photos online made it look like a much nicer place. It’s more like a small motel than a hotel – the rooms are tiny and there's nothing to do: no cafe, no lounge, no service, just a small reception with one guy. Surprising that this is called a hotel in the heart of KL.”
6.9Verified guest“The hotel respects guests' privacy.”
6.9Verified guest“Great location – the Bukit Bintang Monorail is about 3–5 minutes' walk away, and the price is cheap.”
