Pros:

Super freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.
Ohne dass es in der Beschreibung des Hotels steht, wird ein kleines Frühstück gratis offeriert!
Die Dachterrasse ist ein gemütlicher Ort zum verweilen.

Cons:

Das Zimmer ist ziemlich einfach eingerichtet, man sollte aber bei dem günstigen auch keine Suite erwarten...😉

OK hotel with fantastic hosts! and Breakfast!
Pros:

The staff was absolutely fantastic. I would hope to have gals like that running any hotel that I was a part of. They were generous, funny, professional, responsive, nice, everything! The hotel was just ok. I got a room with a window, but the view was only the tallest building in KL! Also a good breakfast was unexpected. That really set them a part as well. I liked it!

Pros:

Posizione,pulizia,aria condizionata, ma soprattutto il personale, disponibile e accogliente. Ci siamo sentiti a casa. Ottima colazione sul terrazzo. C'e un frigo comune, lavello e forno a microonde. Praticamente nel cuore di petalin,con tutti i servizi e i ristoranti a un tiro di schioppo

Cons:

Le stanze sono un po' piccoline e senza finestre. Entrando si percepisce un po ' di umidità, ma niente di insopportabile

Pros:

I loved the location, right off the market in Chinatown, and the breakfast (I wasn't expecting) was abundant (boiled eggs, fruit, cakes, bread & different toppings) and included loose hibiscus tea (my favourite). The Receptionist was professional and kind.

Cons:

Attention to detail when it comes to the quality of towels and its cleanliness needs to be looked into. The noise from the street was still audible and the soundproofing was disturbing my peace and sleep, as you could hear people at Reception, music from outside, anyone walking past your room.

Really great place to stay too in Kuala Lumpur city center !
Pros:

Really nice hotel, very well located: the roooms are nice and clean, the sound insulation was good. Very nice and warm welcoming, very helpful as well and available. The complimentary toasts and coffee for breakfast were a nice surprise. The location is really central and convenient. And last but not leasy the nice terrace upstair, a quiet space to have breakfast or chill, with a view.

Cons:

The stairs can be a bit tricky when we carry a big suitcase.
