"We had a pleasant stay in GEO hotel, I would say this is one of the best hotel in Chinatown area. The hotel is located in the heard of Chinatown, it was located just next to central bus and LRT terminal. It's about 2 minutes walking distance to 2 popular and renowned areas in Chinatown which was Central market and Petaling steet. Though room is rather small but it was very clean and comfy. Will definitely stay in this hotel when we visiting KL again. "

"i always consider location and availability of my needs whenever i choose a hotel particularly if it's only a short trip. in my recent visit to malaysia's capital, i stayed in hotel 1915 kuala lumpur and i was content with everything. despite the small room-area, i like the fact that the toilet and shower (hot & cold) and the rest of the room are clean. its location in lebuh ampang is its main advantage that takes any guest/tourist/traveler near to mrt masjid jamek station (about 5 min walk), chinatown (petaling street, about 10-15min walk), and of course little india where its located. another best factor of hotel 1915 in kl is its vicinity has pharmacy (makes you feel safe about your traveling), convenient store downstairs, and a lot of food places -both commercial fastfood joints and local restaurants. i also like the fact that the hotel provides distilled drinking water every floor with its dispenser. that's petty to some but an important necessity during a trip. overall, i am happy with my stay there as the staff too were very accomodating & friendly. i would consider reserving a room again when i get a chance to be back in kl.

"Holidaying overseas it is important that you get the comfort and convenience. Big M is my regular stay when we need an accommodation near Chinatown. The warm hospitality of the friendly and helpful staffs never ceased to amaze me so far ... Thanks you! Importantly for us is that we have a clean & enough space room for two, comfortable beds, good air con & shower, and fast wifi. The Masjid Jamek LRT interchange station is a few steps away and has two Rapid KL LRT systems which cover a sizable area of places. Taxis are available at the station however getting Grab is cheaper. Walking distance to Chinatown, Central market and Pasar Seni train station (where you can board the Go KL free bus to the Bukit Bintang area). The hotel is close to fast food chain, coffee shop, and restaurants...and even pharmacies for medical supplies. For the service, comfort and location we highly recommend to those looking for a budget hotel near Chinatown."

"I checked into Arenaa Star on the 21st October and stayed here for 2 nights. It was a very pleasant stay. First and foremost after putting down my luggage, I ventured to the hotel's open air restaurant located on the Mezzanine floor. The seafood olio oglio I ordered was good. I also tried grilled chicken and lamb chop on subsequent days and they are all ridiculously cheap yet extremely tasty. Wow! The friendly and courteous staffs made the ambience all the more better. When it comes to the accomodation, I must say that it has the coziest bed and pillows for you to rest after a long walk tour around KL which you can easiy access via the LRT and is just a walking distance from Chinatown. Not to mention the big and modern bathroom, flat wide screen tv and various themes that represents each floor. For example the 1st Floor represents the Malaysian stars thus you will see the portraits of the local entertainers painted on the wall along the hallways to every hotel room. Not to mention the Hollywood, Bollywood, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Korea etc. You might have a pleasant surprise to see that one of them happens to be your favourite! So in conclusion, Arenaa Stars lives up to its name and is very recommendable for the budget value and comfort. "
