Check the pool findings before booking

A budget-oriented, transit-convenient option with usable desks and strong access to nearby dining and shopping. The main tradeoffs are inconsistent room condition, documented noise and air-conditioning problems, weak breakfast and service, and no gym. Pool evidence is contradictory.

Worth checking: 150 of the 4697 reviews in our sample contain a complaint about noise. See the evidence

There is construction going on in front of the hotel and they work through the night so you might hear piling works in the middle of night

How we got to 4.5

Overall sleep quality is below average because recent supplied reviews document traffic, surrounding, air-conditioning, and piping noise affecting sleep, while bed comfort is mixed. Some guests report quiet rooms and comfortable beds, so the evidence does not support an unusable score.

Supports the score
  • Several supplied reviews describe quiet rooms or comfortable beds.
  • Room images show substantial curtains in some rooms.
Pulls the score down
  • Recent reviews report traffic, surrounding, air-conditioning, and piping noise disrupting sleep.
  • Bed and pillow quality is mixed, with recent complaints about uncomfortable or old beds.

Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.

What guests complained about

unfortunately the room wasn’t cleaned during my stay—even after I left a note at the front counter

Iron board was broken causing one of us to hurt our foot when it fell

How we got to 4.8

Overall condition is below clearly good because the evidence combines orderly-looking official photographs and positive cleanliness reviews with recent, low-rated complaints about dirt, mould, odours, housekeeping, broken fixtures and worn furnishings. The evidence does not establish a reliable deterioration trend.

Supports the score
  • Several supplied room photographs show tidy beds, intact room layouts and clean-looking bathrooms.
  • Some supplied reviews explicitly describe rooms as clean.
Pulls the score down
  • Recent supplied reviews report dirt, mould, odours, poor housekeeping and worn furnishings.
  • The stored corpus detects substantial cleanliness, wear, smell and pest complaints, but these are lower-bound counts rather than prevalence estimates.

Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.

How we got to 3.0

Low score because the supplied evidence directly conflicts on whether a pool exists: one review says there is a rooftop poolside area, while another says, "No swimming pool." The corpus also records a small number of detected complaints, but retrieved reviews are not prevalence estimates. No official pool listing or photograph resolves the conflict.

How we got to 7.2

7.2/10: Strong access to food, cafés, transport, shopping and tourist sites is offset by documented noise, parking and approach limitations. This is an editorial score, not a citywide ranking.

  • Public transport and KL Sentral are within the surrounding area.
  • Recent reviews support convenient walking and Grab access.

A dedicated desk and chair are visually documented, and recent guest evidence supports laptop work. The score is held below excellent because desk size appears variable, with supplied reviews mentioning small or congested room furniture; the retrieved sample is not representative.

The whole night disturbing noise from surrounding areas never stops keep disturbing my sleep

The only issue is the hotel is on 2 main roads and next to a trainline so it was very loud

The room was so near the expressway just imagine how many vehicles passing by per min until 4 am then the noise was getting lower coz few vehicles passed by

What you can do about it
  • Request a room away from the highway or main road.
  • Ask for a higher-floor room and confirm that the window closes and seals properly.
  • Request a room away from repair work, piping, and neighboring rooms.

How this page was made

We hold 4,697 reviews for this property and analyzed 4,697 reviews across 8 languages. Text matching and AI interpretation can miss nuance, sarcasm or translations. Repeated experiences, larger samples and independent sources are more useful than a single vivid quote.

Quotes, however, are only ever drawn from the 4,172 English reviews. Machine-translating a guest’s sentence would change their original wording.

We count mentions using text patterns. Complaints can come from a reviewer’s “disliked” field or negative wording in their review. These counts describe the reviews we hold, not the proportion of all guests who experienced an issue. “Recent” means the last 730 days.

Scores, section explanations and photo descriptions come from a model reading the source material using AI, last run 11 October 2026. Published photos may be old, staged or incomplete; AI cannot measure a room or verify a facility is currently open. Nearby places are mapped within 1500 m; walking times are estimates, not checked routes. Prices are observations for sample dates and will move.

We link to a review or its source page when an address is available. Source, rating, and month accompany quotes to help you locate them. Some links open a collection of reviews rather than the individual quote.
