Else Kuala Lumpur, a Member of Design Hotels

A thoughtfully, stunningly restored historic building in the heart of KL’s bustling Chinatown - every detail carefully attended to in its design and amenities. The staff are warm, attentive and go out of their way to help with the smallest request. Wish I could have stayed for longer.

Clean and modern. Lovely staff. We had a power cut during our stay which meant no breakfast first morning. We were only there two nights. Breakfast the next day was so good, we were even more disappointed that we’d missed it the day before. The only negatives I would say is that no reparations were made for missing breakfast and the air conditioning was not very cold. Apart from that, it was great.

Calm retreat in the heart of the city. Close to sights and easy to reach from the airport. Staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. Aesop products give a wonderful scent to the room and luxurious touch when showering.

Nice Modern Hotel on the Edge of Chinatown close to the big Maybank building. Excellent wrestling and lovely pool area.

Beautiful room, comfortable large bed, nice toiletries, good breakfast and cocktail bar. Staff we friendly and very helpful. Hotel design is amazing and quality of fixtures and fittings is top draw.

Beautifully designed hotel, with quiet rooms and a superb rooftop pool. Also excellent standard of food at both hotel restaurants.

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.

Great staff, first class room, nice breakfast and great location

very nice hotel at very good location

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.

We loved the vibe of Chinatown, Central Market was great for local crafts.

some littering was around but still a great experience!

An Oasis of beauty and hospitality in a slum

We enjoyed the location and short walk petaling street, central market and MRT station. Breakfast is really great we get to try different variety and is fresh made to order. Will definitely consider staying again for future visit.

Cool and comfortable. Every detail carefully thought through Lovely pool and fantastic restaurants. Definitely a favourite.

Friendly staff, spacious rooms, comfortable pool, and central location. Perfect for the vibe we were looking for in this trip.

Such a stunning hotel and an excellent place to stay in KL. Highly recommended

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.

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!

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.
