Fantastiskt bra läge. Kommer jätte gärna tillbaka hit nästa gång vi åker till Kuala Lumpor. Denna gången var vårt tredje
Pros:

Närheten till China Town. Utbudet av mat och shopping. Vi gillade läget och bokade om våra sista dagar till samma hotell. Super bra för oss.

Cons:

Svårt att hitta något negativt.

Pros:

Location is great. Great city views in the room. Right in the centre of China Town. Restaurant, street markets just out the door. Room was quite clean and comfortable. Free buffet breakfast. Nothing great but does the job and was included in the price.

Cons:

Breakfast not great but good enough.
