Habitación práctica y agradable
Pros:

Es bastante práctico, para una noche en Kuala Lumpur, como mucho dos. Las instalaciones están muy bien, además los servicios que ofrecen de lavadoras, cocinas y zonas públicas.

Cons:

La habitación era pequeña y no tenía ventana al exterior, lo sabíamos cuando la cogimos y para la noche y media que pasamos allí estuvo genial, para más días habría sido un poco agobiante supongo porque la habitación era también pequeña. Pero para estar de paso, lo recomiendo.

Okay. Not a good location
Pros:

Good internet.

Cons:

Check out was chaotic. No restaurants or coffee shops in the area. The person that checked me in was very unprofessional. I asked if there was any restaurants or a convenience store nearby. She pointed to the outside in one direction. I never found a convenience store and walked for a long way to try to find a restaurant.

Good location and comfortable stay
Pros:

Courteous front office staff, very colorful and artistic building and rooms. The staff catered to our request to include atleast one vegetarian dish in the breakfast which was appreciated. Cleanliness is top notch and kitchen facilities are also complete and satisfies all the requirements. Location is very convenient.

Cons:

I would not count this stay as suitable for families. Breakfast was okay but limited options especially for vegetarians. Rooms are quite small and because of their size there is no facility or extra crib for baby for any additional bedding. Rooms are cleaned on alternative days only that too light cleaning and deep cleaning only on 4th day which was a bit disappointment.

Ok, aber nicht noch einmal
Pros:

Gute Lage, sauber, modern. Dusche mit ausreichend Wasserdruck.

Cons:

Wir waren mit drei Kindern unterwegs und ich finde es von booking nicht gut, dass man Buchungen mit drei Personen annimmt, obwohl es offensichtlich ist, dass das Zimmer nur zwei Personen fasst. Unser drittes Kind hat auf dem Boden auf einer Decke geschlafen, weil weder Matratzen noch Zustellbetten verfügbar waren. Platz wäre definitiv vorhanden gewesen. Diese Unterkunft sollte bei den Auswahlkriterien drei Kinder gar nicht angeboten werden! Interessenten sollten wissen, dass Familienzimmer nur für 4 geeignet sind.
Das Personal an Empfang am Abend und im Frühstücksraum war lustlos und unmotiviert. Ohne Nachfragen wurde beim Frühstück nichts nachgefüllt, nicht mal Teller.

Pros:

Heel ruime, moderne en nette kamer. De locatie was uitstekend: vlak bij Chinatown, verschillende restaurants en andere handige faciliteiten zoals een ATM en de metro. Op de bovenverdieping waren er bovendien enkele extra faciliteiten, waaronder een kleine gym en een ruimte om kleding te wassen. Alles is heel hygiënisch en proper.

Cons:

Het ontbijt vonden we eerder beperkt. ’s Nachts was er af en toe geluidsoverlast, vermoedelijk door generators achter het gebouw. Na de eerste nacht stoorde dit wel niet meer zo hard dan daarvoor.
