Convenient hotel near Chinatown

Located less than 10 mins walk from Petaling Street Chinatown, also less than 10 mins walk to the LRT / MRT station. No issues during my stay, friendly staff and Wi-Fi worked. Room cleaning services not provided daily so do clarify when checking in so you are aware. A gym with a few machines and some weights. Washing machines and dryers on-site, pay at reception for token (around MYR 22), washing liquid included. My first stay at this hotel and I was happy with it.

Immaculately clean and exceptionally comfortable, this accommodation is ideally located near top sights, great dining, and the LRT. Rooms are well-appointed with filtered water, in-room soap, shampoo, body wash, and lotion, with additional toiletries available at the front desk. Thoughtfully maintained and welcoming, it’s a perfect base for a convenient and relaxing stay.

Excellent hotel

Great hotel. Big room which was immaculate. Great friendly service, comfortable bed, great shower (important because can have weak showers). The location was excellent too, walking distance from Eco park & China town. Food options available minutes away & close to train station. Laundry facilities were excellent. This was our favourite stay in 2 months of travel.
