Very near the shopping areas downtown. Property is quiet at night, at least the room that was assigned to us. Our room has a small kitchen and ensuite toilet. It’s great that the shower and toilet are separate - especially if you are travelling in a group (which we did). The rooms are clean and well kept.

“Very nice”
Found this hotel by chance after checking-out of another for some reasons. This hotel is really clean, got all the necessary amenities and the vibe was really homey. The best part? The staff, everybody was so kind, respectful and so fun to talk to! Especially Hana with whom we really laughed so hard😂. It may not have a fancy rooftop pool or exquisite/luxurious decors but it's a great place overall nonetheless. I would recommend this place to everybody and if I get the chance to come back to Kuala, this is the place I will book again!

“Breakfast”
For the price I paid the breakfast was very disappointing. Just pre cooked meals that you can heat up in the microwave. I don't recommend.
