Bed Bugs is enough to say it is bad. So better to stay somewhere else even if it cost little bit more.

We've been travelling SE Asia for 7 months on a tight budget and have stayed in some compromised places. This one has been by far the worst. Once checked in we discovered that our toilet was leaking from the waste pipe when flushed - leaving a trail of sewage down the bathroom floor. We asked them to look into it... More

We stayed here 3 times on our travels and each time had no complaints. Bathrooms are shared but are very clean and enough on each floor. Good roof terrace for relaxing & watching tv or reading with views over the city. Rooms are small but good value for central location.

We were a bit suspicious when the man at the front desk "mistakenly" shorted us 10 ringgits when we first paid for our room, and a bit more suspicious when he later charged us 5 extra ringgits because he "didn't realize we BOTH intended on staying there", but we thought the room looked clean enough so we decided to stay...

This is the first review I've ever written about a hotel (or anything for that matter); that in and of itself should be an indicator of how bad the experience was. We booked there because the location is pretty good (near Petaling St.), it sounded like a cool place (being a 100+-year old building and all) and it's pretty cheap.... More

I quite liked the place until I went to sleep and found I had lots of company. There were so many of them that when I changed hotel at 2am I chucked everything I own in the shower and left it running just to be on the safe side, as they had infested my sleep sheet and towel. The reception... More

Although the place in a great location in Chinatown we became particulary dissapointed. After being neglectively brought to a room which doesn't earn the title we found a used condom under the matress. The staff was willing to change the room but did not care about the reason and I wouldn't be surprised if the piece of contraceptive is still... More
