The cleanliness on the bedsheets really need to improve. We were feeling itchi and need to use our own towel to lay on the bedsheets before we sleep. It felt so terrible.

Friendly place in a good location
Been here for the third time, so it cannot be a bad place. Small rooms - as anywhere in KL in this price range - but comfortable beds, good bathroom, spotlessly clean. Windows, which cannot be opened, face an inner indoor courtyard, so there is no noise from the street. Location is right in the middle of Petaling Streetmarket. You can watch it from the terrace in the second floor. Great location. Breakfast buffet is reasonable in that price range. A simple choice of bread, eggs, sausages, jam, butter and some fruit. Nothing fancy, but it is breakfast. Plus juice, coffee or tea. WiFi is good, everything works, staff is very friendly. I would stay there again.

Loved it!
Great location in the heart of Petaling St & close to Central Market & the LRT. Great view and place to relax on their deck. Quaint rooms and some had interesting glass-enclosed inward facing mini verandas. Friendly staff, too.

2/10 Poor

Booked the room and got a confirmation email which clearly says that the room is confirmed no need to make a call to reconfirm. Got to the hotel and saw a notice that it’s under renovation! This piece of information is not updated on the site whatsoever. Called the front line few times and no one picked up the phone. If you’re gonna be unavailable for whatever reason, please for Godsake update it on all the sites that you’re advertising on. This is truly very disappointing and unnecessarily inconveniencing customers. Never a second time.

The hotel was in busy chinatown but somehow the room was quiet. It was very very basic but good value for money. I liked the people working at the desk.

Small room and a little uncomfortable for 2 of us
We stayed just one night, thanked god. The receptionist is nerd and the first impression is bad since I am the one who says "Hi/Hello" to greet them. The room is too small for both of us compared to the hotel we stayed a night before. The bed just ok but the glass compartment to separate room and toilet is not sealed properly that caused the water leaked to inside of our room. There is no TV. And the breakfast on our day is just slices of wholemeal nuts fruits bread, slice of watermelon, and hot coffee/tea. The price to stay is quite expensive and somehow not worth if I compared to the stay we had a night before near Pasar Seni.

4/10 Fair

Disappointed.
Booked based on high reviews from some websites. Disappointed by the room (strong damp smell, a girl's long black hair inside the bed, broken toilet seat), by the manager's attitude on the second night when "they ran out of towels" and asked us to come back later to collect some (we did come back from a dinner out at 10pm to be told to walk back to our floor to find the cleaners who give us some. No cleaners there. So back to the reception where the manager grumpily asked a staff member to get some towels from a nearby room) and on the Last morning breakfast staff looked miserable and clearly didn't want to be here despite our attempt to greet and smile to him.

2/10 Poor

Hip lost hope ....
One of the worst hotels I have stayed at in Asia (for the price charged)! Also, I have stayed in other hotels in KL, and this was the worst. When I walked into the cubicle-like room (room 3xx), the disinfectant smell almost knocked me out. The next day, it was still there. The room was a "Queen with a window". What a view!!! Oh - where is a closet - nope. Oh - where is a TV - nope. Oh - where is a place for my clothes or even a hanger - nope. Oh - where is a place to hang a towel when in the shower - nowhere. The shower door hasn't even got a handle, and the walls look like they shouldn't be touched or leaned against. Complimentary water - nope. Complimentary air was about it! What a depressing way to ruin the end of my holiday! In its next reincarnation, it will be a police interrogation room.

6/10 Good

Spartan, but adequate for those on a budget.
The hotel is well located in the heart of Chinatown. The room was spartan but adequate. This hotel offers a nice continental breakfast in the morning. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, this may not be the ideal place to stay for those over their mid-twenties who have outgrown hostel private room style accommodations. If you are on a budget, but value your privacy, this hotel may suite you. Consideration: was a shower that leaked into the main room and hallway, heading out of the room. Plus: Proximity to great, inexpensive food.

Good hotel in China town.
The room was a bit smaller than I thought. Everything else was good. Room was cosy and clean. The staff members were very nice. There is a train station near by that was very convinient. We were all good but please be aware: It was a bit hard find the entrance and the taxi could not go into the Chaina town so we had to walk for 3 minutes to get to the hotel. NO wifi in the rooms only in the common area. There is no fancy breakfast. Just some bread, fruits and coffee. We had good experience.

2/10 Poor

Terrible stay
Stayed for one night. Despite the affordability, the soundproofing of the rooms were appalling. You could hear all the prominent noises from the Chinatown market downstairs until early morning, plus the noises from the corridor and the room next door. If you expect a youth hostel environment, it is fine. Or else, I would not recommend this place.

4/10 Fair

the staffs are not very helpful or cheerful. they don't even respond to greetings, such as good morning. the room is bare with only the beds. There is no t.v., telephone, desk or a chair. The electrical outlet don't work. I couldn't charge my phone or laptop. It is very inconvenient for me to go to Starbuck everyday to charge. The outside noise is very loud. It usually woke me up at 4:00am with loud music. The worst is the shower. the bathroom door don't close and there's no curtain or door to the shower. Water usually splash everywhere on the floor. It is not a good place to spend more than a night.

Room is slightly small. Breakfast everyday same. Toilet accessories incomplete. Need more storage areas for the rooms (a wardrobe). Wifi network very slow. However, this hotel is located at petaling street. Which means its easy for tourists who loves budget shopping.
