We really liked the location in the middle of the busy Jalan Petaling market with lots of food options and all the sightseeing spots of Chinatown in walking distance. The hotel itself was beautiful and truly felt like a fancy adaption of the vibe of the surrounding area. The guy working at the reception was friendly too, even though it was only him working there so often the reception was empty, which was fine with us as we didn't need a lot of assistance. We also loved the open terrace outside the reception area overlooking the bustling market.

The only real complaint we had was that the wifi did not work well at all in our rooms. Other than that everything was fine, but I don't think the value for money is great. The rooms are designed nicely, but they are very small. We chose the option with windows, but they are inside facing so no fresh air. For a few days it is fine, but we felt the rooms were too expensive for what you are getting and that there are probably similiar alternatives for way less money.

Location fantastic. The service was outstanding, as my plane was delayed, and baggage lost, so I was 3 hrs late, arriving at midnight! They had someone wait up for me, and look after me! I was very thankful and impressed!

Just a couple of dirty marks on the floor, from previous person.

Excellent location in the heart of China Town. Very clean and friendly staff. The balcony over the main junction in Chinatown is a unique experience.

Great location, clean facilities that match the hotel rating.

Price, but I feel you’re paying for location which is fair. WiFi strength was very poor in my room.
