Good for people with no knee problem
We were greeted by friendly staff and check-in was quick. Our room was 212 (Third Floor) so the music from next door club at night was subtle. Room was spacious and clean. TV only have local channels and advertising media. Internet was fast and stable. There is an power outlet below the TV that allow many countries's standard to be plugged into. Cold and hot water dispenser are available at each floor. Hotel has no elevator, but they have young staff helping to carry heavy lugguage to guest room. Although hotel is located near Times Square (KL MonoRail), there is a steep slope to climb, and there is no proper pavement from top of that steep slope down to the other side where hotel is. Tourists with trolley luggage will have hard time pulling through unless on the road. There is no proper pavement from LRT Hang Tuah too as there is construction going on. Temporary pavement is very rugged, not suitable for heavy trolley luggage.

Basic hotel
I would say this hotel is very basic. The rooms don't have windows but we only stayed for 2 nights and was out all the time so it was fine by us. However, they checked us in on the first room by the lobby so we don't have much privacy when we opened our door. There's free water dispenser by the lobby which was nice and service was good. We had to wait for the housekeeper to come in later when we ran out of toilet paper and facial paper as they don't leave extra in the room. For its price, you get great value with this hotel.

Close to Imbi Station. Cheerful Staff!
I stayed here for 3 nights from 18th December. I was offered the new "wing" in the next building which is in the midst of renovations - dust, uncarpetted lobby, wires dangling, workers - which I accepted as I found the room was bigger, likewise for the toilet! Lots of ceiling light in the windowless room. Set your alarm clock if you need sunlight to tell if its morning as you wont know when you sleep in a windowless room! The body wash/shampoo smells good. Though there should be a bottle near the sink as well as one has to go to the shower area to get some soap. There isn't a kettle - but a thermos(that looks like a kettle because there is no plug in it) - fill it with your hot / cold water from the dispenser located outside the room. The staff - every single one that I came across with - was very helpful and friendly. Would I stay here again when Im in Kuala Lumpur ? Definately I would!

Not as I expected
For a low budget hotel, the reviews on this place were fairly good which is what made me book. Luckily we were only here for one night before leaving KL. Pros of this place is that it’s really close to Berjaya Times Square. Downsides include the room being on the second floor and there wasn't a lift so we had to get our luggage up six flights of stairs - painful! We found a lizard in our room and when we went to get him out our room he ran under the bed so I felt very uncomfortable for the rest of the stay, including trying to sleep. A few marks on the bed sheets and pillows. Corridor smelt outside our room but luckily not in our room. I think it’s a smoke free hotel but we did see a guest vaping. Also, what no one has mentioned in reviews before is that this place is right by a nightclub, and you can hear music and feel the bass when led in bed till the early hours.

Worth the money!
Tbh I wasn’t expecting much from this hotel but the first thing that impressed me was the staff as they were very polite through my phone calls with them and they even remembered my name when I arrived at the hotel. They also allowed us to check in close to 2 hours earlier than the official check in time and extended our checkout by 2 hours without a charge. Only downside was that there’s no lift so it gets a bit tiring to carry your luggages but fret not, the staff will carry it to your room for you if you need assistance. The superior twin room was much more spacious than we expected and the room was pretty clean just that I would advise to bring insect repellent as I got a few mosquito bites when I first stepped in. It was easy to access to the water dispenser at every floor and the ironing board was also useful for us though it’s located along the hallway! Overall, good location as well as it was right behind Berjaya Times Square and it only took us a while to figure out the routes around the area! Will definitely be back for future short stays as it’s worth the price you pay for :)
