Great service from all staff, especially those manning the reception desk. Location is good with a 5 to 10 mins walk to Bukit Bintang area. Room is spacious enough for triple sharing. Room was at the end of the corridor. Corridor is too dim.

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.

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.

Beautiful Design
My first priority is quietness and comfort of the room.During five-day stay, no disturbing sound happened .The beds and pillows were comfortable that I slept quite well.What’s special is bluetooth speaker with great quality!! Never staying a hotel with such thing .Swimming pool’s night design was spectacular as advertised.
Using washing machine with installing third party app was a bit troublesome so I decided not to use instead.
