Great location right by Petaling Street. Our room was on the corner of the top floor with a view of the city and skyscrapers. The room is spacious enough for two. Our only complaint was that the bathroom seems run down, for example the towel rack was broken. The bathroom is small and the toilet doesn’t flush well. Other than that the room was well maintained and clean. Housekeeping was helpful and check in was easy. We had an early check in at 12pm for an additional 50rm.

We got the top floor which had a good view of KL tower and twin towers. The family rooms were spacious and interconnected which made it very convenient. There is not much of a space available for taxis to pick you up in busy hours so that was a little inconvenient. Breakfast didn't have much of an option if you are a vegetarian. But they still accommodated us for few days and had 1-2 items added in menu. They also provided early checkin on chargeable basis. You will also have to pay tourist tax of RM 10/night. Overall a decent accommodation with in city center.
