The room and en suite were huge. Although the shower walls had some mould on the grout, all other aspects were excellent. Would stay there again.

Conveniently located. Staff are

Conveniently located. Staff are friendly and helpful too. Room is cosy and big. However, it requires some maintenance for better stay (water flowing out when showering, thus wet the whole floor). Overall, a good stay :)

Hotel is located just opposite

Hotel is located just opposite a monorail station that will fetch you to nearby food and shopping centres (eg. Bukit Bintang & IMBI) & KL-SIN coach office. All the hotel staff are very helpful, polite and courteous. They make you feel welcomed.
