Just stayed at this hotel yesterday. Great location if you want to be in chinatown. The room decor was tired but OK. 8th floor was nice and quiet, good wifi. Everything was great, if a bit over priced, except the bathroom. It was really disgusting. Not just old but filthy. Their cleaner need to get in there with some serious... More

KL Chinatown is either a filthy tourist trap or the lively hub of the city, depending on your taste. If you don't want to walk out the door of your hotel into a cloud of charcoal smoke from a street vendor, you don't want to stay in Chinatown. For those who appreciate the atmosphere, the 5 elements is a wonderful... More

Right in the middle of Chinatown surrounded by the best and cheapest food in KL stands this newly renovated hotel. The professional hotel photos on TA and Agoda is exactly what we got. We paid 170MR for our deluxe double corner room on the 5th floor and then an additional 50MR for a 6pm check-out. The room is a good... More

I stayed at this Hotel in April, 2012. At the first glance, this hotel make me feel cheap. But after my first night, I recognized that I am totally wrong. In fact, this is 3 stars hotel located in the China Town of Kuala Lumpur. The room is so so but I think It's clean and good enough for the... More

The location was presumably OK for me from google map. But when I arrived there I had to walk from the train station to the hotel on the street. The sidewalks (all the way to the hotel) were occupied by food stalls and groups of unemployed labors. And the street were crowded with lots of cars and taxi which could... More

One of the nice surprices in Malaysia. Satyed at 12th floor and had a view of the Petrona towers from bed. Rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff fiendly and service minded. Location couldt be better. Hawker markets and food stalls just outside, and "everything" within walking distance Only drawback was the breakfast. Would I come back - Absolutely!

We booked the hotel online and decided to spend a few extra dollars and get the "Deluxe" room with the corner windows............... unfortunately there is an interconnecting door to the next room, but it's not soundproof!
