“A pleasant stay!”
Conveniently located at the ‘entrance’ of pleasant Jalan Gaya where the small National Monument Park is. Lots of F&B outlets here and at nearby gentrified Lorong Dewan (1-2 streets away) with cool cafes & art/handicrafts shops to chill out.

“Excellent Hotel if you need to have a walking distant to Gaya Street.”
The location is the main consideration if you want to have a walking distant to Gaya street. The hotel is located in front of the Gaya street. However, if you are staying during weekends and room is at level 1 and 2, then you will hear some noise in the early morning (Saturday and Sunday only) when the vendors are setting up their tents and products. Room is clean as I learn it just renovated as this hotel is in operation since 1997.
