Pros:

The location was strategically located in the KL surroundings. Most of kedai makan and groceries are just walking distance. Don't panic because there are a lot of parking lots nearby the hotel. Public transport is also a walkable distance, making it easy for us to go to Bukit Bintang, Kg Baru, KLCC and all. Really recommended for a short stay vacation.

Cons:

Beware of the cockroaches in the drawers. No toiletries were provided.

Total disaster. Did stay the 2nd day coz i know I’ll never get refunded if i left on the 2nd day. Use to be a decent hot
Pros:

Location. Nothing other than that

Cons:

Should’ve change the name to LIPAS HOTEL. Lipas was everywhere. In the toilet, head of the bed, on the floor, out in the corridor, even in the fridge got lipas. Bathroom was dirty, broken tiles, floor that looks like it never been washed. Dirty and rusted fridge, not to mention again LIPAS!!! And the drinking eater that was provided was already opened. Not a sealed one. Room was dusty and got spiderweb also. Seems like the worker have given up totally on the establishment than to take care of it properly.
