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.

On my last night I needed sleep for an early flight, there was a party being held on rooftop above my room. The party went on very late and was EXTREMELY loud. It sounded like a live concert was going on outside my room with the music and people literally screaming and cheering. Other than that, it’s a really nice hotel. Good breakfast, friendly staff, nicely located in China Town.

Beautiful, well designed hotel. Corner Room 501 had wrap around terraces with view of the Petronas and tower. Beautiful at night. Staff is welcoming and gracious. Naga was especially helpful and friendly. Be prepared to be awakened early with very loud call to prayer. We liked it but heard some guests complaining.
