Perfect hotel in a perfect location for a city break. Luxury and serenity, right in the guts of the bustle of Chinatown. Every design detail was stunning and considered, right down to the kettle in the room and the buttons in the lift. From the wall art to the lobby chairs to the tiles in the pool; everything was beautiful it made you feel fancy but also full of heart so you felt truly comfortable. The staff across the board were an absolute delight, relaxed, friendly and helpful to a tee. Special mention for the breakfast wait staff who made the start of each day such a delight. The breakfast was excellent and beyond generous from food to service and all things in between. The nasi mamba was amazing, the granola was perfect, the coffee was great and the whole experience really put you in the best possible place to start the day. We looked a few different hotels in different areas and feel confident that we lucked out and ended up at the best of the best. LOVED everything about it and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I loved my stay at the Else and highly recommend it to anyone visiting KL. It was the perfect boutique hotel experience. The service was impeccable and the hotel was beautifully curated - it had a lovely library, unique art work and luxe bathroom toiletries. I found the location very convenient as well. If you are a light sleeper I would recommend you book a room that overlooks the pool. My room faced the street and it was quite loud due to night time activities.

Excellent experience. From check in where we were greeted with cold tea, very clean rooms though on small size (as advertised on the room description) beautiful design and materials. Very attentive staff. Great location near central market and temples in Chinatown. Lively area. Our corner room looked out over the intersection. Amenities including gym were very high quality. Restaurant was great as well.

Beautiful design but potentially noisy

Beautifully renovated and well located for chinatown. Liked the bar and breakfast. Didn't like that there were road construction works at 1am and when we complained, there was no apology, plus we had to demand a different room to sleep in because of the noise and the ground was vibrating!

Nicely designed but sound proofing was poor

Room size was good, design was great but soundproofing was not. The one night we were there, the road was being re-laid after midnight! The construction noise felt like it was in the room. We reported this and had no apology from the night staff, but we were granted a room move when we requested. Would have appreciated an acknowledgement of the disruption.

Fantastic Modern hotel in China Town.

The hotel is a brutalist conversion of the old Lee Rubber building. the staff are fantastic and the rooms are large and modern. the bathrooms were a good size with huge shower. it was lacking wardrobe space, and the toilet was separate with a glazed wall, which if used at night lit up the whole room. the swimming pool was a good size with a great wine bar on the same level. The hotel restaurant was very good, but full of instagram wannabees. it seemed that most people turned up with large bunches of flowers and just wanted to take photos of food/flowers/themselves rather than eating. Good location, easy walking to the main sites of china town.

I was truly impressed with the exceptional service at this hotel, especially with the complimentary upgrade I received upon arrival. From the moment I stepped in, the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The room was immaculate, exuding a delightful fragrance, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the handwritten welcome note on the bed and a soothing chamomile note left at night. Every time I left the hotel, a friendly security staff member opened the door for me, even assisting with my luggage upon arrival. The food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious, and I must give a special shout-out to Brenda, who provided outstanding table service throughout my meals. The breakfast options were varied and tasty, making mornings a delight. Additionally, the outdoor pool was impeccably clean and offered plenty of seating options for relaxation. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again!
