Hotel Details

Location

Situated in the vibrant heart of Chinatown, this hotel is steps from Petaling Street, Central Market, and the MRT Pasar Seni station.
The hotel sits on a lively street filled with market stalls, food vendors, and shops from early morning until late night. Pasar Seni MRT station is a 5-minute walk, providing direct access to KL Sentral and the wider city. The hop-on hop-off bus stops almost at the door, making sightseeing effortless. Popular landmarks such as Berjaya Times Square, Perdana Botanical Gardens, and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur are within 2 km. Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport is 17 km away; the nearest airport shuttle is at KL Sentral, a short MRT ride or taxi trip. The surrounding area offers an extensive choice of local eateries, street food, and cafes within a 300-metre radius.

Accommodation

Rooms come with air conditioning, flat-screen TV, private bathroom, electric kettle, and safety deposit box; suites add a balcony with city views.
Standard rooms accommodate 2 guests and are located on floors 4-10, offering city views. Suites range from 1-bedroom units with a balcony to larger configurations sleeping up to 4 guests with multiple beds. Family rooms consist of interconnecting Superior Twin and Deluxe Queen rooms, ideal for groups. Extra beds can be added for MYR 60 per night, and cots are available on request. Room conditions vary: higher-floor suites tend to be more spacious and better maintained. Some lower-floor rooms show signs of wear; a few have reported noise from neighbours and street traffic. Soundproofing between rooms is limited, so light sleepers may wish to request a room away from the lift and facing the quieter inner courtyard.

Dining

Breakfast is available for an additional charge (MYR 12 per person), currently served as a packed breakfast delivered to the room.
The hotel does not have a restaurant or bar on site. Breakfast options are basic: a packed meal includes items such as toast, fruit, and a drink. The hotel's location in Chinatown means dozens of eateries, street food stalls, and cafes are within a 3-minute walk, offering a wide range of local and international cuisines from early morning until late at night. Guests needing a full hot meal or specific dietary requirements will find ample alternatives just outside the door.

Facilities and Services

Free in-room WiFi, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and lift access are provided.
The 24-hour front desk can assist with early check-in requests, luggage storage (free, secure), and arranging airport taxis. Daily housekeeping is included, and basic amenities such as hair dryer and iron are available on request. Free WiFi is accessible in all rooms. Parking in the basement costs RM5 per entry per room (one car only, first-come). The property is wheelchair-accessible with a lift, grab rails in toilets, and accessible parking. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV, key card access, and fire extinguishers. Business services such as fax/photocopying and meeting/banquet facilities are available at an additional charge. A barber/beauty shop is located on site, and tour operators are housed in the adjacent Kompleks Selangor building.
