Hotel Details

Location

Set in the vibrant heart of Chinatown, this hotel is a 2-minute stroll from Petaling Street and within walking distance of major transport hubs.
The hotel is located on a lively street in Chinatown, with the famous Petaling Street market just a minute away. Pasar Seni LRT and MRT stations are within a 10-minute walk, providing direct connections across Kuala Lumpur and to KL Sentral for the airport train. Popular shopping malls like Pavilion and Sungei Wang Plaza are a 15-minute drive, while the KLCC area is about 20 minutes away by car. The Merdeka 118 tower is visible from the property. The immediate area is full of food stalls, restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops, making it ideal for exploring on foot. Guests requiring a quiet environment for sleeping should note that an adjacent bar can produce loud music until late at night, particularly on weekends.

Accommodation

Rooms are compact and basic, with air conditioning and a fan. Most rooms lack windows; a window may be available upon request.
The property offers standard double rooms (with a private bathroom), as well as single and twin rooms with shared bathrooms. All rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a wardrobe, and a desk or shelf area. Hot-water showers and towels are provided. Many rooms do not have an external window, a fact that should be considered when booking. Some rooms are on the smaller side, making it challenging to open a full suitcase. Noise from the adjacent bar and from doors slamming in the hallway is a known characteristic. A small number of rooms are situated away from the bar and are quieter. The double room provides a private bathroom with toilet and shower, while single and twin rooms have shared bathroom facilities with multiple, clean shower cabins and toilets. Daily housekeeping, fresh towels and clean linen are provided.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, and a shared rooftop terrace with a kitchenette are the main facilities.
The hotel offers free Wi-Fi in rooms and common areas, a 24-hour front desk, and luggage storage before check-in or after check-out. Express check-in/check-out is available. Daily housekeeping is included. A shared lounge and a rooftop terrace with a small kitchenette, fridge, microwave, and water dispenser are open to all guests. The lift is currently under maintenance. CCTV is present in common areas and outside the property. The hotel is non-smoking throughout, with a designated outdoor smoking area. Pets are not allowed. Payment is accepted via Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and UnionPay. A refundable cash deposit of RM 50 is required for the room key upon check-in.
