I first heard about Maya Hotel through TikTok, and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the beautiful atmosphere and the overall experience. The hotel is in a great location, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were also friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I stayed here with my daughter, and we both had a wonderful time. The hotel has a relaxing and elegant feel, while still being convenient for exploring Kuala Lumpur. Sometimes you see recommendations on TikTok and wonder if the place is really worth it — in this case, it definitely was! Thank you, Maya Hotel, for a lovely stay. I would definitely recommend it to others and would be happy to come back again! Sharing our memories with you.. Here are some photos we captured while staying in Maya Hotel.

A beautiful hotel but a mediocre experience. Maybe the hotel could consider changing the ceiling light bulbs in the room to brighter ones and there are not enough of them. The TV was malfunction but I did not make any report because I only stayed for one night. However, shouldn't the responsible party check the TV first before ”opening” the room to guests? The air conditioner also took a very, very long time to cool even though it was set to the lowest temperature from the moment I got into the room. The shower water on the other hand, I had to wait a long time to get hot even though it was turned to the left (for hot water). However, the breakfast buffet was delicious and varied. The hotel decoration is also very beautiful with a classic theme.

Our stay at The Face Suites Kuala Lumpur was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the friendly staff. The suite was spacious, clean, and perfect for our family, with breathtaking views of the city that we enjoyed every day. My son especially loved the infinity pool, and it was such a joy creating special family memories together. After a full day of exploring Kuala Lumpur, coming back to a comfortable and peaceful room made all the difference. Thank you, The Face Suites, for making our stay so enjoyable. We left with wonderful memories and will definitely choose to stay here again when we return to Kuala Lumpur.

The hotel was nice, but I did have issues with the bathroom door door, not lock. I came and fixed the lock which was loose but still wasn’t looking. It wasn’t the door and the frame wasn’t attached door. There’s something should be checked before checking in. Also, I found a sofa dirty clean it. The rate of pay for the hotel should reduce when this swimming pool was not accessible, but was OK for me to use Next Door as some of the gym equipment wasn’t working. I don’t really expect that for my five so I should be on plane I’m one came to the floor find my room. There’s no arrow missing on the wall directly to my room 1014.. Would I stay here again? No

Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala Lumpur|0.88km from city center
This is my go-to hotel whenever I visit Kuala Lumpur. It's super convenient to get to KLCC via the covered walkways, so you're protected from the elements. This time, I booked for three consecutive nights, but unfortunately, my plans changed last minute for the final night, and I had to go elsewhere. I tried negotiating with the hotel multiple times to see if they could offer a free cancellation or at least a discount for the last night to minimize my loss, but they refused every time. It would be great if they showed a bit more flexibility in the future. Ctrip, on the other hand, was quite helpful; they gave me some points as a partial subsidy, which was a nice gesture. It just goes to show that a strong platform can offer some peace of mind.

The location could not be better—having a shopping mall located directly below the property made grabbing meals, shopping, and getting daily essentials incredibly convenient.

The room itself was clean, well-maintained, and extremely clean throughout my stay.

The check-in experience was very good. Someone came to help push the luggage when I got of the bus. Although you can't check in early if you arrive early, you can also check in your luggage for free. During check-in, there are also staff to help deliver the luggage to the door of the room, and will also explain where to eat if you need a hotel buffet breakfast the next morning. The service is considerate! Check out is also very smooth and there is no need to wait! The security is also very good. There will be several guards downstairs! Needless to say, hygiene is very clean 👍 More than Rm300 per night ➕ Breakfast Such service and room quality are excellent 🥰 It would be better if we could occasionally have some preferential activities 🤩

The front desk communication was smooth enough, and it's super close to KLCC, just a short walk away.

I’ve stayed at Dorsett Kuala Lumpur a few times, and I still find myself choosing this hotel whenever I’m in Kuala Lumpur. The main reasons are the excellent amenities, convenient location, and accessibility. It’s within walking distance to Pavilion, TRX and many other shopping and dining options, which makes getting around so easy. The hotel is also comfortable and convenient, making it a great choice for both short and longer stays. Having stayed here multiple times, I can confidently say it’s a hotel I’m happy to return to. Definitely one of my go-to hotels in Kuala Lumpur! ❤️

The hotel Pacific Express Central Market prime position is its biggest selling point—it is perfectly situated within close proximity to Pasar Seni and Masjid Jamek LRT, and it so near Central Market(walking distance less than a mins. To petaling street(china town) 10mins When it comes to dining, there is absolutely no need to worry at all, even if you’re not a particularly picky eater. The area surrounding hotel is teeming with a diverse array of food stores, local eateries and cozy restaurants, offering an extensive selection of delicious cuisines to suit all tastes, you’ll find plenty of wonderful dining options just a short walk away. Overall my stay at Pacific Express Hotel Central Market was perfect.(except the water heater is not function well, water flow hot for a while then cold again rm8521), other than that the room is spacious, with small refrigerator, nothing to compare with such nice room and reasonable price. The unrivaled location, convenient dining choices combine to create a truly wonderful living experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur, and I will definitely choose to stay here again. Room is perfect clean, with a large lobby, good security. Must try!

It takes about an hour to get from the airport to the hotel, so make sure to factor that into your airport check-in plans. For domestic flights within Malaysia, allow at least an hour to get to the airport, and it's best to have your boarding pass ready beforehand. If you're flying internationally, you should really set aside 2-3 hours. The South and North hotels are very close, so don't panic if you accidentally get the wrong one on your GPS. The hotel's service is excellent; if you fly to another destination and then return, they'll store your luggage for free, which helps save on baggage fees. The cleanliness in the rooms could be improved. For example, there were small spots on the bedsheets, and the phone and its cord clearly hadn't been wiped down. In the first room, the sink was broken, but after moving to a different room, everything was fine. It's good value for money and perfectly acceptable for guests who aren't super picky. The breakfast was decent, and there was a discount for booking it with your stay; adding it on the next day costs an extra 10 RM. There aren't many breakfast options nearby, so I think it's worth getting the hotel breakfast if you're too lazy to taxi out to find food. The hotel is close to various attractions, and taxis are readily available and can drop you off right at the front desk. The one recurring annoyance for me was the elevator. The elevator logic is flawed, and I often had to wait a very long time. I suggest they review and fix the elevator system. Sometimes, it wouldn't even stop on my floor even if it was on its way (a 'convenient' stop). The elevators don't seem to be linked, which really detracts from the experience. I hope they take this seriously.

The hotel is really old and definitely needs renovation. A lot of the facilities look dated and the overall condition could be much better. There was also a strong mould smell along the corridor, which was quite unpleasant. The hotel lift is also freaking slow and there was a long queue, especially during busy hours. This can be quite frustrating when you are in a hurry. The buffet breakfast was also a bit disappointing. There were not many choices available and the food was just so-so. There is definitely room for improvement in terms of the variety and quality of the breakfast. The best thing about this hotel is definitely the location. It is superb and very near to Bukit Bintang, with plenty of shops, restaurants and places to visit nearby. Overall, the location is great, but the hotel really needs renovation, better maintenance, improved lift service and better breakfast choices.

The location is absolutely fantastic! It's close to the station and a shopping mall, so access is great. The Petronas Twin Towers were also within walking distance. No issues with water pressure in the shower! It had a showerhead with multiple settings, including a rain shower. The hairdryer had good power too! There wasn't a large trash can next to the toilet, so I assumed it was okay to flush directly. I personally didn't mind at all, but you could hear voices and sounds from the next room, so those who are sensitive to noise should be aware. It was convenient that I could watch YouTube on the TV in the room. There were many power outlets, but they were type BF, so if you're from a different region, don't forget your adapter! There were also two USB ports. It's a hotel I'd love to stay at again if I come back to Malaysia! 😊 As an aside, the place right outside the hotel where you pick ingredients on skewers and they fry them for you was also delicious.

I happened to check in early before 3:00 PM on September 19, 2026, for the FunRun event, and my room was upgraded for free to a high floor. From there, I could see both the Twin Towers and the swimming pool. The deluxe double room had double-glazed windows for soundproofing, and all the facilities were comprehensive, truly meeting five-star standards. The biggest highlight was the extensive and fresh breakfast, far superior to hotels I've stayed at in Imbi. Five stars from me! I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to KL.

I've stayed in quite a few hotels in KL, and this time I decided to check out the Ritz. Even though the hotel is a bit older, the room was completely odorless and very clean. However, the bathtub looked quite old, and there was some grime around the drain, so I didn't use it. They didn't provide a comb in the room, but you don't need to bring your own power strip. Everything else was fine; even though the toilet was an older model, it was spotless. The location is great and very convenient. It's just a short walk to Pavilion, much more convenient than EQ and Ruma, where I've stayed before. The executive room just has an extra walk-in closet; personally, I don't think it's much different from the standard room. The hotel sent chocolates, and later, a server brought a chocolate cake, which was also delicious! The front desk and butler service were both excellent! However, the doorman didn't help me with my luggage either when I arrived or when I left, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's very good value for the price!

I think it’s actually clean, just the fact that the building itself is kinda old, so the paint on the walls are kinda scraped. Location wise, it’s 6 mins walk to chinatown, and directly next to the MRT station which is very convenient.

Had a pleasant staycation at Melia Kuala Lumpur. The location is one of the best things about this hotel. It’s right opposite Berjaya Times Square, within walking distance to Lalaport, and the train station is just beside the hotel, making it easy to get around KL. The room was nice and comfortable, although the pillows could be improved. The front desk staff were friendly, warm, and welcoming. Parking is quite limited and a little tight, so it’s better to arrive early to secure a spot. Breakfast was good with a wide variety of both local and international food. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay, especially if you want to explore the city without driving around too much.

Bukit Ceylon Kuala Lumpur|1.12km from city center
The room at Verdant Hill Hotel is comfortably spacious and well-proportioned, providing ample floor area to lay out a sejadah for solat without feeling cramped. The bathroom is generously sized and well-supplied with good, complete toiletries—including quality shampoo, body wash, dental kits, bathrobes, slippers, and a hairdryer. To make your stay as convenient as possible, the room also comes fully equipped with a hot kettle, complimentary coffee and tea-making facilities, and a dedicated iron and ironing board for quick garment touch-ups. The morning breakfast spread offers a hearty mix, featuring a daily rotation of fried mee or fried rice alongside soft, buttery croissants. The buffet also serves a delicious selection of warm comfort foods, including steamed dim sum, sweet bubur kacang, rich bubur pulut hitam, and fresh hot soya bean to start your day. Situated right on Changkat Raja Chulan in the Bukit Ceylon neighborhood, the hotel boasts an enviable location that puts you within a short walking distance of both Changkat Bukit Bintang and the vibrant Jalan Alor street food market. For added convenience, guests looking for extra pampering or late-night entertainment do not have to travel far, as the immediate surrounding area features on-site and nearby massage parlour options along with popular nightlife clubs around the hotel property. Its prime positioning balances high accessibility to major shopping hubs like Pavilion KL with a slightly set-back street that offers a relatively calm retreat amidst the city action.

Location is good. It’s about a 5-minute walk to Bukit Nanas Monorail. The room was great, and the washing machine and dryer were both functioning well. They also provided detergent, which was a nice touch. I stayed in the single room while my parents stayed in the master bedroom. Overall, everything was great except for a very long/non-stop “beeeeeeeep” sound, especially at night. For people who are sensitive to noise, this might be quite annoying, as it was for me. I’m not sure where the sound came from, but I could only hear it when I was in my room, not in the toilet. Maybe it was coming from the air conditioner. When I switched the aircond off or set the temperature around 23–24°C, the sound disappeared. However, when I set the aircond to the coldest temperature, the beeping sound came back.

TLDR: Ceylonz is a great hotel, but the provider (Five Senses) is not. Book a different provider if you want to stay at Ceylonz. (Trip.com does not let me post videos, refer to the pictures below) Initial room conditions: When we first entered the room we encountered these things: - Leftover jacket from the previous guest(?) - stains on the chairs - water stains on the wardrobe - dead ants in the wardrobe - a flickering light Service: Because we chose to stay for 7 nights, we had a 1 free make-up room offered to us which we appreciated. However when we flagged up the issues we found on the first day, they gave us a make-up room on the second day and consumed our free make-up room without our choice. We wanted to use it in the middle of the trip like the 4th day. Because of this we had no toilet paper, tissue box was empty, towels were not replaced. After the 2nd day, they no longer replied to our texts when we enquired about using the sports lounge, requesting a makeup room, getting more toilet paper. Very bad service. After their make-up room, they removed the jacket and cleaned the seat stains, but they did not fix the light or clean the dead ants in the wardrobe. We understand fixing a light might not be possible but the ants were easily removable and we did it ourselves after they left. It felt like they were cutting corners as they also did not replace our tissue box, clean the dead ants or clean the water stains on the wardrobe. Ceylonz: The hotel comes with - nice pool, - 2 gym rooms with great views, - a minimart at the ground floor, - amazing location, walking distance from Bukit Bintang's Pavilion Room: - the amenities provided are not the same for every room, the last time we came there was a water dispenser and pull-out kitchen, this time there isn't (same five senses at ceylonz, same room type) - spacious - tall ceiling - well equipped - bay window - the walls are relatively soundproof so you cannot hear other rooms but the door is not and the hallway is very audible from inside the room, we can hear people chatting, checking in, pulling luggages Bed: - not soft, hard bed with springs - pillows and blanket is okay - uncomfortable bed We would have given this place a glowing review if they: - Stuck to their 1 complimentary makeup room offered - service: replied to our enquiries at all after the 2nd day - better room cleanliness/make-up room diligence: cleaned the dead ants and the water stains on the wardrobe

For my experience stay vacation here for almost a week.Now I only have time to review the hotel service reviews.The staff of the housekeepin and the receptionist, kinda nice and polite , for the first time I was decide to extend for the next day til I decide to check out anytime , and I was already inform to the receptionist, that I might be extend daily . Til I decide to go the I will inform and update the receptionist. Of course I can't decide or plan to book for 1 week or 2 week directly, because I want to experience first how the property and the management provide the service. But I'm very glad and satisfied because the picture or the image of the room that they placed at app platform, really exactly 100% as a pictured shown. I'm booked for window and corner room. Because I am introvert person human, I don't like to make a freinds nor want to make a new freinds. I don't have that kind of energy to entertain. So that's why I request for the privacy and quiet room . And I'm very happy this hotel is professional and provide the room as guest request . I'm highly recommended this hotel , because for me it was premium, clean ,and the most thing is the room is very well decorations with full of colours . Trust me . Beautiful colourful room is a good a energy to stay . Peaceful and comfortable. The most beautiful part of this hotel , is the view ! The sunset or sunrise lover or the rainy lover weather . This the best place for you to healing , relaxing , meditate . It's good feng shui. I will reviews again for the update.

The hotel gave a great first impression. The lobby smelled amazing and had a luxurious feel, and all the receptionists and staff were friendly and welcoming. Parking is available in front of the hotel, but I opted for valet parking at RM30 for 24 hours. The room was a little small but still comfortable and acceptable. Bed and pillow was extremely good. We got complimentary water and KitKat in the fridge, and the bathroom was spacious. The shower and toilet are separated, but the biggest downside for me was that there was no bidet in the toilet. 😅 The kids’ club was great and my child really enjoyed it. We didn’t get a chance to try the pool. Breakfast was really delicious with plenty of choices. My personal favourite was the nasi impit with kuah kacang — so good! I also requested a complimentary anniversary cake. It took quite a while and I had to call a few times to follow up, but we finally received it on the second day. Thankfully, the cake was really delicious! Room cleaning was also a bit slow. We requested housekeeping in the morning while my husband took our child to the kids’ club, but when we came back around 1pm, the room still hadn’t been cleaned. We were told there weren’t enough staff. Overall, we had a great staycation here and would definitely consider coming back. Everything was great except for the toilet with no bidet. 😅

The service at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur is truly second to none. Their genuine commitment to ensuring our comfort made us feel truly valued as guests. This is exactly the level of service one would expect from a world-class five-star hotel. The room itself is excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised when we returned from dinner to find that the room had been serviced again. Most hotels provide housekeeping only once during the day, but Four Seasons went the extra mile. They even thoughtfully placed bottled drinking water and glasses beside our bed, a small gesture that made a big difference. Their attention to detail and dedication to guest satisfaction are truly impressive.

As a small suggestion for improvement, the room’s sound isolation could be slightly enhanced to reduce occasional noise from outside or the floor above.

The room was quite spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable – very soft and large enough, which greatly helped with sleep. However, there were a few things that seemed inconsistent with a luxury hotel's decor and facilities. Firstly, the sink was quite shallow and small, causing water to splash out when washing my face. The toilet was a very basic model, lacking any smart features. The shower room's seal wasn't good, so water easily flowed out onto the floor during showers. Additionally, the soundproofing in the hotel room was poor; noises from the hallway easily carried into the room, and the roar of cars from the street was clearly audible.

Oh my goodness! We went straight to the hotel after landing in Kuala Lumpur. We arrived four hours before the 3 PM check-in time, but the hotel welcomed us in the lobby right away. The bellboy was so cute and strong, which really made us feel warm and welcomed upon our arrival. When we got to the 53rd floor, the front desk found two Chinese-speaking staff members to assist us, and they were even a supervisor and a subordinate! It was truly touching. They helped us store our luggage, showed us to the restrooms, and let us choose an aromatherapy scent while offering iced tea and snacks. The whole process was polite, thoughtful, and gentle. When we checked into our room in the afternoon, we couldn't have been happier. It had a bathtub, double sinks, a smart toilet, a king-sized bed, a large sofa, and a spacious shower. In the afternoon, someone even came to turn down the bed and light an aromatherapy diffuser. The breakfast was incredibly exquisite – a combination of buffet and à la carte! Absolutely delicious! The hotel's location is superb, connected to Pavilion via a skybridge, so we didn't have to worry about sun or rain when going in and out. It truly maximized our sense of happiness and relaxation during the trip! Most importantly, we had an unobstructed view of the Petronas Twin Towers and all of Kuala Lumpur. Jalan Alor was right behind Pavilion; it's such a prime location! I highly, highly recommend Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur!

Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala Lumpur|0.71km from city center
The rooms are a bit old but have been renovated and are reasonably clean. The overall environment is decent. Rooms facing the street inevitably suffer from the noise of roaring motorcycles passing by. Connecting rooms offer no privacy at all – you can't even speak in your room without hearing your neighbors' gossip. I'm puzzled as to why they didn't renovate these connecting rooms, which are common in older hotels. People value their privacy now, even families traveling together often prefer separate rooms at a hotel. Let's talk about the service attitude, which was flawless except for the non-Chinese speaking front desk staff. I arrived early and asked if I could check in ahead of time, but was told there were no available rooms. While waiting in the lobby, my husband felt very unwell due to high blood pressure. I went to the front desk again to ask if I could pay extra to upgrade my room and check in earlier. The response was, ”The upgraded room type takes even longer to prepare. If you want, I'll upgrade it for you.” (exact words). I was speechless. What was my objective? To check in early. Was I asking to pay money to check in later? The staff's attitude during this interaction was cold and very impatient. While I understand that early check-in might not be possible, I cannot comprehend the attitude and replies of this staff member. InterContinental is considered a high-end hotel, and I've stayed at many in China as an InterContinental member, always having a great experience. I never expected to encounter such service on my first stay abroad. I will likely visit Kuala Lumpur again; it's a beautiful, vibrant, and historically rich city. However, I will not choose InterContinental again. The rather awkward location, the not-so-quiet resting environment, and the unpleasant experience from this incident are all reasons I won't return. I rarely write lengthy reviews, but as a seasoned Ctrip member, I hope this provides a useful reference for other members, as I, too, rely on others' reviews when booking hotels.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcomed throughout our stay. The room was spacious, clean and beautifully maintained, with a comfortable bed and an amazing view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline. Waking up to the view of the Petronas Twin Towers was definitely one of the highlights of the stay. The breakfast was another standout. There was a great variety of food, with plenty of local and international options, and everything was well presented and delicious. The location is also excellent, with KLCC, shopping, dining and other attractions within easy walking distance. The hotel itself has a luxurious yet relaxing atmosphere, and the facilities were well maintained. Overall, it was a memorable and relaxing stay.

Overall, this hotel isn't great: The facilities and decor are very old, almost 30 years. The wallpaper and toilet haven't been updated. The service and management used to be good when it was a Pan Pacific Hotel, with higher standards. Luckily, I didn't book breakfast. Indian and Malay dishes make up the majority, which isn't suitable for Chinese guests. Transportation is very convenient, with PWTC's LRT and KTM stations nearby. Across the street is a shopping mall where you can shop and eat at Hua Yang restaurant. Chow Kit market is also very close. The most unbearable thing was finding stains and hair on the pillowcases, duvet cover, and bedspread after check-in. They weren't changed, and we had to call to get them replaced.

Right next to the Petronas Towers, about a five-minute walk. Everything was pretty satisfactory, except for a little hiccup at checkout. When I was checking out, they asked me to pay, and at first, I thought it was some kind of tax payable at the hotel. But when I saw it was dozens of dollars, I knew something was off. Turns out, they said it was for laundry! I definitely didn't use any laundry service, so I flat-out denied it. They even showed me a receipt, which was bizarre because it clearly wasn't my signature! The room number section even had a crossed-out number, with a different room number written first, then ours. The staff called someone to confirm, and after some back-and-forth, they finally let us go. I suspect the housekeeping staff saw our clothes hanging to dry and tried to charge us for laundry. It was a close call, almost got ripped off!

Nice Room with a Lovely KL Tower View I had a pleasant stay at Flora by Crossroads Hotel. I stayed on the first floor in a room facing the main road, with a lovely view of KL Tower. The room itself was comfortable and suitable for a short stay. The hot shower worked well and was one of the things I enjoyed during my stay. The bathroom could use a little more attention in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. There were some visible stains on the walls and floor, the basin was draining slowly, and the toilet had a minor leakage issue. Just a small reminder for the housekeeping team to remember to replace the complimentary drinking water for the next guest, as it may have simply been overlooked during room preparation. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and especially the KL Tower view. With a little more attention to bathroom cleanliness, maintenance and room preparation, the overall guest experience could be even better.

I wouldn't recommend staying here if you don't speak English. Communication was a nightmare, and the front desk staff weren't very clear. Basically, the language barrier combined with an unaccommodating front desk made everything difficult. The location isn't great either; you need a taxi to get anywhere, and walking takes about half an hour. The room itself was just okay. I was swayed by good reviews saying the front desk had friendly female staff and that early check-in was possible for a fee. But when I got there, it was all male staff at the front desk. I had to wait for a room immediately, and paying extra for early check-in wasn't even an option. I arrived in the early morning and couldn't check in until 1:30 PM. Also, I saw that breakfast was included when I booked, but when I asked, they said it would cost 17 MYR. For 230 a night, it's really not worth it. I might as well have stayed at a hostel in Chinatown or a hotel with a pool for better photo opportunities. I just wanted my own room, but it ended up being a lot of hassle, very tiring, and I didn't get good rest. I don't recommend it; it was quite a miserable stay.

Indie Hotel is tucked away in a quiet corner of Bukit Ceylon, making it a great escape from the busy city while still being close to everything. The location is honestly one of its strongest points — just a short distance from KL Tower, about 10 minutes from Bukit Bintang MRT, and only a few minutes’ walk to Jalan Alor, which is basically street food heaven in KL . The room itself is clean, cozy, and very comfortable. What really stood out to me was the bed — the pillows and mattress were incredibly soft, easily among the most comfortable I’ve experienced in a hotel. Everything worked well too: strong hot shower, cold air conditioning, and free WiFi provided. There’s also a mini mart right below the hotel, which is super convenient if you don’t feel like heading out for food or essentials. Overall, this is a great choice for an affordable staycation — especially if you’re looking for a quiet environment without sacrificing comfort or location.

I always stay in this hotel whenever my parents do their annual health check up in KL. To my disappointment this year they allocated not just the smallest room in the pretext I booked a standard room, but the room was not even properly cleaned. The AC was not working properly that we drenched in sweat. The worst of all was I did not get the breakfast package since I forgot to collect but the service after that was just so-so. No service recovery at all and the staff just said they disposed whatever not collected if it’s late. They forgot the amenities in the room and when I checked over the phone the staff sounded very impatient bordering impolite.

Nice driveway for offloading. When entering the lobby, the layout was very strange, as the first counter you see right at the center was a security counter that wasn't clearly marked, as there were no signs. There were people at the counter, so we waited patiently, only to notice a much smaller counter made up of two tables on the right side of the huge lobby, which were the actual check-in desks. There was no obvious sign that it was the check-in. The service staff at the desks sat quietly and waited, as they were far from the entrance. No one greeted us when we entered the hall, nor directed us to the counters, so I felt quite lost. After checking in, we made our way to the room ourselves with the luggage. They do add you to WA so you can directly chat if you need any help or service, which I found very useful. The room was impressively huge and clean overall. It has a washer, kitchenette, and the relevant amenities. A few things to pick on were that the sheets did not cover the sides of the bed, as they were too small, and I thought that was so strange, unsightly, and unprofessional. The bed felt a bit itchy when I slept. It might be a subconscious thing after noticing the sheets. The closet was so huge that I had to tiptoe to hook the hanger onto the top bar, and I am 1.63m (5'4”). Is this room made for giants? There are no restaurants within the building, so you need to walk 10 minutes to the mall, but it's accessible. There's also a convenient store that's quite big, just a 2-minute walk away. The pools were very nice, except for the construction nearby causing major pollution! The weird chemical smell was a real put-off and disgusting, as I was with my kid in the wading pool on the 6th floor. Perhaps the infinity pool on 69 is better. Walking to places wasn't far, but the walkways were not maintained, so watch out for potholes. Overall, it's not that bad, as the price was acceptable and the location is central.
