Highs and lows

Beautiful hotel and great location. Unfortunately, the basic in room amenities were lacking. There is no tea/coffee/cups in the room. There were also no robes or slippers provided. Difficult to take a shower without flooding the floor of the bathroom due to the design. Additionally, there was only a shampoo/conditioner combo- So, if you require conditioning your hair best to bring separate. When we requested a kettle, etc it was provided for us. But, took a few requests to acquire cups etc. Finally, on short notice the friendly staff booked us an airport pick-up which was very kind. We were told we could pay by credit card for a fee. We elected to not exchange currency at the airport and wait for a better exchange rate. Unfortunately, on arrival to the hotel, the taxi driver informed us that he was unable to take cash. After some negotiation, the hotel agreed to pay the taxi driver for us and hold our USD as collateral. We appreciate it helping us but better communication on the front end might’ve prevented the incident.

It's about three stations away from the bustling Bukit Bintang area, and the monorail is just a 6-7 minute walk. The boutique hotel offers a unique stay with its blend of traditional charm and modern, cosmopolitan, yet cozy design. Thumbs up: When I brought in food from outside, the staff kindly offered me cutlery—such a thoughtful touch. It may seem small, but it made a big difference, allowing me to enjoy my meal more comfortably. The staff's attentiveness and kindness truly stood out.

Great hotel, lovely decor, very helpful staff & good location. However, comfort not so great as it was very difficult to sleep with motorbikes racing around outside in the early hours of the morning. Not sure if this is just a weekend thing! The restaurant was also closed all evening for a private event, & it would have been good if this had been communicated beforehand.

We checked out and knew we wanted to have lunch here before we left. The food & service is top notch. I am a retired Chef so I greatly appreciate good service & cuisine. Great job!!
