Good value for money. Walking distance to Larkin Sentral
Pros:

I was very happy staying here. Booked for Deluxe Room with window - Queen bed, a tv, a mini fridge, a very cold and quite AC, a kettle + cups, complimentary 3-1 coffee sachets, a bottle of mineral water, two towels, a coffee table with 1 chair and private bathroom with hot shower. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and the room was quiet day and night despite being on the ground floor facing the road. Everything made my stay enjoyable. The Malaysian reception staff were professional, polite, and very helpful throughout my stay. There are clinics, shops, and restaurants located behind the hotel. I would gladly stay here again

Cons:

1) The non-Malaysian staff I encountered had difficulty understanding basic Malay or English, so for assistance I needed to go to the reception.

2) There was no in-room telephone provided. Having a phone in the room would have been helpful.

3) It would be helpful if the room had a proper space and hangers for hanging clothes.

4) The shower water was on the warm side, even at maximum temperature. A hotter option would have been more comfortable.

5) The fridge was not even chilled nor cold at all and could be improved.

Overall im just disappointed.. the price and the " 4 star " on booking.com just feels like a scam.
Pros:

The staff are fine.

Cons:

Mostly everything.. its stated 4 star but i dont get why and how the place got its 4 star.. the amenities given was so little.. even a roll of tissue needs to be paid.. how is that 4 star? Well ill assume it got the 4 star due to the staff. But only the night shift lady was ok.. the lady in the morning was not.. like the time me and my partner wanted to check out.. and i wanted to buy a banana bread.. to me she sounded not sincere at all.. i asked her politely "kak ni kek pisang kiterh kene amek sendiri atau ader orang amekkan?" Then she replied "awak nak ke? Tapi nak kene panaskan" but in a tone and body language of not sincere at all.. not sure if shes tired or what.. but that is really not right especially you're a frontline of the hotel..
