We liked: the location - close to transport, restaurants, street food, historic places, staff
We didnt like: the absence of satellite TV channels (at least in our room), fresh milk for tea. Also breakfast offered no gluten-free bread for toast, no fresh machine coffee (despite it grown in Malaysia).

The property is close to town and good location with huge rooms. It is an older style hotel but compensated with a big room and good size beds.
The staff are the most amazing. Very accommodating. They also went out of the way to find my baby top that went missing in the laundry and they found it!
Would recommend and stay again definately!

Old style room, which was fine. The thing with this hotel is that there is a night club on the roof that plays thunderingly loud car alarm techno. It rumbles and disturbs on through the night. Guests beware.

When I was first checked in, I was put into a horrible room, there was mould on the ceilings in the bathroom and main room, the carpets and curtains were stained. the shower/bath was cracked and rusty, the mirror partially broken. I immediately went down to report this to reception who told me I couldn't' move until the next day because the hotel was full.
I had to stay in the room that nights, the next morning i brought my stuff down. Check in to the new room wasn't till 3 so i did go out for the day as i had limited time. When I did return, I was informed the room was ready and it was upgraded. The second room was in a much better condition.
Breakfast was nice
Ultimately it worked out okay, but the first room left a poor impression of this hotel!

Overall it was a nice reasonable property and easily walkable to restaurants and attractions in the area. Nice rooftop view and bar at the property.
The rooms are of adequate size, but "looking tired". Replacement of some furniture are needed.

Hotel well located within amenities
The room was pretty large for the price.
music of the roof-top bar (situated one level above the 16th floor) could be disturbing to those staying on floors closer to the 16th floor.
The pool with a depth of up to 3.5 metre was a pleasant surprise. A separate suntanning area adjacent to the pool was rather thoughtful.
Location of the hotel was near to many food courts, eateries, a large supermarket (Mydin) and wet markets.

Past its glory days
This hotel is conveniently located and could be wonderful, but it is in need of refurbishment. Everything is run down, and the staff is not pleasant.
