Photos not even close to reality
Not sure if they put me in the wrong room or not, but the photos of the room was great, the room wasn't the same. Obviously they hired a fantastic photographer. The standard price of this room, apparently, is $100AUD. It was dropped to $50AUD for the following day, however, I had a discount to $25AUD. In no world would I pay even close to $100AUD for this room. $25 is even pushing it. This is an old hotel where they put some decent furnishings. Took 30 minutes to check-in, as there's only one reception guy and other customers were having problems. 15 minutes to check-out. I don't mind staying in dingy, cheap, hotel rooms, provided that I'm expecting to stay in one. Problem here is that the photos look like it's a nice, classy hotel. In reality, it's a dingy, cheap, hotel room.

Terrible hotel. No water supply.
No water supply in the morning. Had to wait for 3hrs but still no water. Staff doesn't have courtesy to apologize or explain. Only give 3 bottles of mineral water for us to bath (only after we asked for it). Very bad service. Don't stay here. Totally not recommended.

Simple and cheap
A simple hotel close to the center of Kuala Lumpur. Easy to go where you want and many small local restaurants nearby if you want to try local food. The monorail was running close to the hotel so if your room face that side it can be a bit noisy when the train comes. The breakfast was only Asian style so not really what I like in the morning.

The overall experience was disappointing. On the positive side, its well situated in walking distance from multiple train stations, had great Wifi I was able to stream HD movies, room size was good, general condition of rooms (at a budget room perspective) were good, AC worked well, and staff were always friendly and courteous. The problems however were plenty, out of my 8 day stay, house keeping only came *twice* and that was because I asked (had to ask for things over and over again), access card to room continually stopped working, breakfast buffet venue and food was abysmal, supplies such as toilet paper wasn't kept up, the first 3 nights I was put in a twin room when I'd ordered a king room. All pointing to a mismanaged hotel. I had to put too much effort into getting things that are just basic hotel services, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to others.

Worst stay in Malaysia.
Bad. Worst hotel stay that I had in Malaysia. Have cockroaches; TV without functionable remote control and noisy due near to tram track. The most unacceptable event was the front desk took my ID and Credit Card out of my sight to their main office for more than 10 minutes for the purpose on photocopying these documents for their verification purposes with my booking with Hotels.com. I am considering canceling this Credit Card to avoid possible scam transaction.

Don't expect to get much sleep
This could be a very good hotel, especially for the price; clean and comfortable, close to the subway (elevated walkway if raining) and several good malls. Several local eateries or a nicer restaurant in another hotel close by. However, the website stated breakfast was included with my room rate (there is a breakfast-only restaurant), but the clerk said no. Showed her the website but was told have to talk to Expedia (my emails to Hotels.com about the breakfast were never answered). I originally stayed 3 nights, extended the booking another 7 (easier than moving); on the 4th night, the satellite tv stopped working and was never repaired. Even after I could hear guests in other rooms watching their tv, mine never started up again. Told the staff, they shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. There is also a private house across the street with a dog. On the 5th night, it started barking and continued barking day and night for the rest of my stay (all 6 remaining nights). Told the staff, nothing happened; spotted the tenants and went and talked to them (nicely), one guy told me to get lost. All in all, hotel is clean and comfy, staff friendly but service was bad, got very little sleep. Won't be staying here again.
