Worth weighing

  • Value category slightly lower than other scores — While guests praise value in reviews, the official Value rating is the lowest category at 6.8, suggesting some inconsistency.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a furry companion, this isn't the place — the policy is strict no pets.

“Surprisingly good value for money. Rates were affordable and reasonable for a budget traveller. The rooms had thoughtful touches, basic amenities, and a spacious wardrobe. The location in the middle of Chinatown was perfect for exploring, and the front office staff were friendly and professional, making check-in and check-out smooth.”

7.5Verified guest

“Great budget choice in a fantastic spot. It beat my expectations for the price, especially being right in Chinatown and near the central train station. Getting from the airport by train was easy, and a short taxi ride got us to the Petronas Towers. No frills, but comfortable with air conditioning, cable TV, and hot water. Plenty of food and shops right outside, plus easy access to sights — excellent value.”
