10/10

The location of this hotel suited us perfectly - eateries very close, several bars nearby, Bukit Bintang for retail and public transportation is convenient. While the hotel is rated as 5 star, it is a bit tired in parts, but it's quiet and comfortable. Free snacks are served from 3-5 pm each day and happy hour starts at 4pm. We would definitely stay there again.
