Hip, classy and clean. Perfect location.
Gorgeous hotel. Amazing infinity pool overlooking iconic skyline. Delicious three-course breakfast. Very friendly staff and modern room amenities. Highly recommended. Also it's located just steps away from some of KL's top attractions.

Just excellent in every way
Just a short walk from Pasar Seni station (itself only 1 stop from KL Sentral) it's in an excellent location - Central Market is across the road, Petaling Street even closer.
Merdeka 118 being so close was a surprise.
Being right on the edge of Chinatown you are spoilt for choice when it comes to food, and there are many hidden speakeasy bars.
The hotel is beautifully restored; we had an Urban room which was spacious and very comfortable.
All the staff are polite and friendly. Special mentions to Brenda and Ki Ki in Raw restaurant (the rest of restaurant and breakfast staff were excellent, but nobody wore name badges). The good in Raw is delicious - breakfast portions are very generous, dinner was delicious.
There is a good pool area, though the method of ordering poolside snacks/drinks is a little clumsy.
Overall, an excellent stay. Highly recommended.

Fantastic hotel!
This is truly an oasis in hot and humid KL. The staff were fantastic my entire stay. Breakfast is good. Cooked to order, not buffet. Not a large selection, but enough. I will stay here again next time I’m in KL.

New hotel in the heart of Chinatown
Room and amenities new and sensible. Love the architecture of the hotel. Service is good. Understandably the F&B offerings are under-appreciated at such a location in view of the many available options in close proximity. Great hotel location too, with public transport available very close by

It was very nice until last night that room is not tidy up with trash still on the counter, dead insert next to the bed and tissues was not refill. Location is very close to China town and it was pretty noise during the night.
Breakfast is excellent.
