“This hotel stands out for its prime location in Bukit Bintang, placing you steps away from lively street food and upscale shopping; the staff's attentiveness adds a personal touch, while the rooftop pool provides a refreshing escape. It presents a well-situated base for experiencing Kuala Lumpur's attractions. For the price, it is a very good deal.”
