Pros: Right in the heart of Bukit Bintang, Staff were fantastic- friendly and helpful. Room was good size, and very quiet despite being so close to main area. Fantastic food offerings right next door and opposite the hotel, and the tea/wine hour was a lovely touch.

Would stay again

Pros: We received a friendly and warm welcome. Our room was great. We loved the mini hamper of goodies plus the drinks in the fridge. A lovely touch. Brilliant location for bukit bingtang. You can reach Changkat just from turning right outside the hotel and it’s a v short walk. The restaurant on the corner outside the hotel is one of the best we ate at in our 3 weeks in Malaysia.

Highly recommended!

Pros: Amazing location, in the heart of Bukit Bintang. The room was spacious and clean. A plus was the view: Petronas Towers. Ample choices for breakfast, and different every morning. Really great quality food. They offered a happy hour in the late afternoon- I managed to join one day. Staff was attentive and helpful, from receptions to security staff, restaurant staff. They helped us making some bookings at restaurants and spa. It had been an absolute pleasure being in this hotel.
