The Hotel is in good condition it is modern and the staff were all very welcoming and helpful. The area around the hotel is dirty but felt safe and any people we met around the area were polite and friendly. The hotel is well positioned for transport links within the city and has many places to eat and have a drink from local to global foods and drinks. A big thank you to the staff for letting us keep our room on for a couple of hours for free as we had an evening flight. My only gripe was the music that was played at the pool which was brain dead club music not for me. I like to chill at the pool:)

Great hotel and location
I really enjoyed my stay here, great hotel that had everything I needed. Room was neat & tidy and quiet. Rooftop pool and bar was great. Easy access to the Pavillion shopping centre and right in the middle of Bukit Bintang. Only negative was it was hard for GRAB cars to find the hotel as there were some roadworks happening making it hard to get in. This is temporary so I'm sure will be cleared up soon, nothing the hotel can do about it. Hotel staff were friendly and super attentive to my needs. I'll stay here again when travelling to KL.
