    “Excellent”

    The location is like 3-5mins walk to Masjid Jamek MRT station which is only 3 direct stops to KLCC (where in the Petronas Tower is) and like 2 direct stops to KL Sentral Station where you can take the Express Train to the Airport. There is a big night market nearby but I heard it is only during Saturdays. If you can walk upto 20-30mins, you can reach the Chinatown and Central market also. Along the way you can pass by the famous River of Life for a quick break. There is also a walking distance mall (SOGO )and a lot of fastfood / local street restaurants on the area. What you pay is what you get. The hotel is very affordable so I did not expect too much on the facilities. However, cleanliness could use some attention. 1 of my pillow smells so bad that i need to remove it and place it on top of the hanging cabinet away from the bed. When I arrived, they did not replace the bathroom tissue for a new one, they just leave the remaining tissue of the last guest for me to use. The aircon is leaking so they need to move my bed away from the wall. They did not sweep/clean the floor properly as I saw some potato chips crumbs on the corner. The wall is very thin that you can hear the noise on the corridor and the room next to you. You can even hear them watching TV. There is a point on my stay that I woke up in the middle of the night because of a loud noise (maybe from closing the door so loudly by other guests) Overall, it was an okay stay. If you want a very affordable hotel with some privacy unlike backpacker room with double decks and different guests inside, this is one of the best option. LOCATION is on TOP, If you want an accessible location but away from the buzzling city.

    The front desk staff, Miraz, was friendly and helpful. This budget hotel is well-equipped with an iron, hairdryer, and shower gel. Do note that you'll need to bring your own toothpaste and toothbrush. The room was clean and comfortable. There's a restaurant and a 7-Eleven right next to the hotel. It's about a 6-minute walk to the Masjid Jamek LRT station, depending on your pace.

    “Overall satisfied”

    it's a very good low budget stay. The walls are thin, so if your neighbours are loud, you would hear them. The equipement is a little old or not properly fixed, it's not clean enough ( a lot of lint in the sheets and questionable weird spots on the floor) but overall satisfying. Hot water and airconditioner work perfectly, they also offer an iron and iron board, hair dryer, sufficient number of outlets, They don't offer shampoo and body soap though, but offer liquid soap. you get your own room which you can access with your own card key, it's safe enough. If it wasn't for the cleanliness, I would give a 5 stars. the cleanliness is not immaculate, but it's manageable for a short stay. I have stayed here twice and tried the deluxe room and the standard room (the only difference is either or not you get a window) I don't think there is a big difference and the price difference isn't too big. the choice depends on whether you're claustrophobic or not, but I would recommend the one with the window because of the sunlight. They also offer a baggage storage, which I didn't try, but it's good to know they have one. the receptionists are very friendly and helpful and speak good english and are available 24/7. The location is very convinient and it's very easy to find the hotel. For a short stay, I would recommend it.
