Will you actually sleep here?
111 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
Sleep is a weak point: thin walls, connecting doors, street activity and noisy air-conditioning can disturb you.
Check before bookingRecent reviews report noise through connecting doors, thin walls, street activity, neighboring rooms, and air-conditioning equipment.
Sleep is a weak point: thin walls, connecting doors, street activity and noisy air-conditioning can disturb you. Some rooms are quiet and the beds are comfortable, but comfort varies. Light sleepers should request a quiet room away from the road and neighboring rooms.
Those who complained rated the whole stay 6.11/10 on average.
Those who complained rated the whole stay 4/10 on average.
My room is not facing the main road so it's quiet and peaceful
Very comfortable bed and great shower
people where coming in all through the night and making lots of noise
I checked in late in the evening and immediately noticed a loud noise coming from the air conditioner in my room
Sleep prospects are below ordinary because recent supplied reviews document thin walls, nighttime guest noise, and air-conditioning or compressor noise, with some reports saying sleep was difficult or impossible. Bed and pillow comfort is also mixed. A few guests report quiet or comfortable stays, so this is not an unusable score; however, blackout performance is unknown.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
What are the rooms actually like?
150 reviews about this · 36 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
The rooms are serviceable but inconsistent, ranging from surprisingly spacious to very cramped. Beds and showers can be comfortable, while bathrooms draw regular complaints. They suit budget travelers who care more about location than polished room design.






I was quite surprised to find the room spacious for this type of budget hotel
Very comfortable bed and great shower
Very small room (2m x 2m) in which bed was taking half the space
The bed is uncomfortable
Is it clean and well kept?
180 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
Guests rate this 8.1 (city average 6.7); our evidence assessment is 5.0. These use different methods and samples; the detail below explains our assessment.
Cleanliness and upkeep are uneven rather than reliably good.
Check before bookingSupplied reviews document odors, pests, stained or unclean linens, dampness, and inadequate cleaning.
Cleanliness and upkeep are uneven rather than reliably good. Guests describe tidy rooms and fresh basics, but others report damp smells, pests, dirty linens and repairs that were overdue. Check the room promptly and speak up if condition matters to you.
Those who complained rated the whole stay 4.57/10 on average.
Guests reporting this gave the whole stay 6.75/10 on average.
Those who complained rated the whole stay 5.77/10 on average.
A simple and affordable 2-start hotel that is excellently clean with all its basic facilities
The room is dirty
the washroom needs repair work to the taps as almost all were loose or broken
Mixed condition overall. Cleanliness and maintenance evidence includes meaningful recent failures, while other supplied reviews describe clean, tidy, or well-maintained rooms. The balance supports a middling score, not a high-confidence claim of consistently good condition.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Do the staff fix things when they go wrong?
152 reviews about this · 9 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
Guests rate this 8.3 (city average 6.8); our evidence assessment is 6.0. These use different methods and samples; the detail below explains our assessment.
Staff are often helpful, but service does not always solve problems smoothly. Guests praise the team while also reporting slow check-in and concerns about inconsistent treatment. It is adequate for a straightforward stay, but less reassuring if you expect quick issue resolution.






The hotel is well run with helpful staff and comfortable rooms
Quick and hassle free check in and check out
Staff showed different customer service based on the colour of someone’s skin
and check in was really slow despite the fact that we are the only ones checking in
Is breakfast worth booking?

Do not book this hotel expecting a dependable breakfast experience.
Check before bookingA supplied review explicitly reports no breakfast.
Do not book this hotel expecting a dependable breakfast experience. Breakfast is not established as a real on-site offering, with a guest explicitly reporting none; nearby restaurants and NU Sentral are the safer dining plan. Choose it for access to outside food, not hotel dining.
instant coffee
huge shopping mall and restaurants
No breakfast
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is the pool as good as the photos?
1 review about this · analyzed Oct 2026. Limited evidence: treat this assessment as provisional.
There is no swimming pool, so the photos should not set that expectation.
Check before bookingA supplied review explicitly states there is no swimming pool.
There is no swimming pool, so the photos should not set that expectation. This hotel is for a convenient base in KL Sentral, not a resort-style stay. Pool time is important, look elsewhere.
no gym or swimming pool
Scored 0 because a supplied guest review explicitly says there is no swimming pool. The facility listing also does not include a pool.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
How well placed is it, really?
106 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
The location is excellent for transport, shopping and everyday dining, with KL Sentral and NU Sentral close by.
Check before bookingNearby nightlife venues may create noise risk.
The location is excellent for transport, shopping and everyday dining, with KL Sentral and NU Sentral close by. The trade-offs are possible nightlife noise, some mixed safety impressions and an inconvenient walk with luggage for certain arrivals. It is especially good for travelers prioritizing connections and walkable amenities.
The location is perfect as it's walkable to nearby eateries and Nu Sentral mall is huge
Very convenient location just a short walk from KL Sentral station
I had to walk with bags from KL sentral and it’s a mess
Metro
Strong overall location: excellent transit and walkability, extensive nearby daily amenities and nightlife, tempered by mixed safety mentions and a plausible nightlife-noise risk. The score is an editorial assessment, not a citywide ranking.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Can you work or take calls from the room?
21 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
Wi-Fi is available but too inconsistent to trust for important work or calls.
Check before bookingRecent supplied reviews report slow, unstable, or unreliable internet.
Wi-Fi is available but too inconsistent to trust for important work or calls. Some guests find it fast enough for streaming and online work, while others report frequent dropouts and slow service. Casual browsing is fine; remote workers should have a backup connection.
Fast reliable wifi good for working online and clean room no insects
Wifi is unstable all the time and will cut off frequently
Connectivity is scored as ordinary-to-weak overall: Wi-Fi is available and some guests report fast or decent service, but multiple supplied reviews document slow, unstable, unreliable, or absent room connectivity. No measured speeds or direct video-call test were supplied.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is the desk usable for a working day?
22 reviews about this · 1 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
The room offers a small desk and chair for light laptop use, but not a comfortable full workday setup.
Check before bookingThe workspace is narrow and offers limited working surface.
The room offers a small desk and chair for light laptop use, but not a comfortable full workday setup. Limited surface area, uncertain power access, little natural light and unreliable Wi-Fi hold it back. It works for short tasks, not demanding remote work.

Fast reliable wifi good for working online and clean room no insects
one small desk and the toilet has wc and shower together
Wifi is unstable all the time and will cut off frequently
A dedicated but small desk is documented visually and appears adequate for basic laptop work. The basic chair, uncertain natural light, and documented socket limitations reduce suitability for sustained or equipment-heavy work. The evidence is room-type dependent.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is there anywhere to train?
0 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026. Limited evidence: treat this assessment as provisional.
There is no documented gym, so this is not a hotel for maintaining an indoor training routine.
Check before bookingNo gym is documented.
There is no documented gym, so this is not a hotel for maintaining an indoor training routine. You will need to exercise elsewhere or choose a property with a confirmed fitness facility.
Scored 0 because a supplied review explicitly says there is no gym, and the supplied facility list does not document one.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is it worth the money?
38 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
It offers good value for a short, budget-focused stay, mainly because of its central location. The low price comes with compromises in room consistency, noise, maintenance and facilities. It makes the most sense for travelers who will spend much of their time out exploring.
Great value for money for a short stay
and since KL weather is such rainy that without ventilation smell wont go away so I will never recommend this or any such type of hotel and plus they are expensive

Under 100 m away · strongest: price and value 8.0/10
