Overview of Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel
Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel occupies 10, Jalan Tun Sambanthan in the KL Sentral district of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One of the most useful facts for anyone comparing this property to others nearby is its history: the hotel operates today under the Palette KL Sentral Station name after previously trading as Scott Hotel, so travelers who booked or read about "Scott Hotel" in the past are looking at the same building and address under a new name. This kind of rebrand is common among independently run city hotels in Kuala Lumpur, and it is worth knowing so guests are not confused if an older listing, review, or map pin still shows the former name.
The property is rated as a 3-star hotel and holds an overall guest score of 8.0 out of 10 ("Very Good") from 2,673 reviews collected on Traveloka, with sub-scores of 8.3 for cleanliness, 8.3 for room comfort, 8.3 for location, 8.2 for service and facilities, and 7.7 for meals. It is a mid-rise property with 133 rooms spread across 8 floors, positioning it as a reasonably sized city hotel rather than a boutique guesthouse or a large convention-style tower. Its defining selling point, echoed repeatedly in guest feedback, is simply how close it sits to KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur's main integrated transport hub, which makes it a practical base for both short city stays and longer trips that involve onward travel by rail or air.
Room/Unit Types at Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel
Traveloka's listing for Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel confirms two specific room categories: family rooms, sized for small groups or a parent-and-children setup, and non-smoking rooms, which make up part of the property's inventory for guests who prefer a smoke-free environment. Beyond these two confirmed categories, the property's public room-type breakdown on Traveloka does not spell out a full tier ladder (such as Standard, Superior, or Deluxe naming), so rather than guessing at categories that may not exist, the safest guidance is this: guests should check the live room list on the booking page for the exact names, bed configurations, and size in square metres available on their travel dates, since inventory and room naming can shift over time.
For in-room amenities, Traveloka's structured facility data for the hotel lists air conditioning, cable TV, and a shower as part of the guest room experience, alongside room service availability. Because the room-level feed does not itemize every unit-by-unit amenity (such as a safe or minibar) for every room type, travelers who specifically need those items should confirm directly on the room description at checkout on the booking page rather than assuming they are standard across all 133 rooms.
Facilities and Amenities
Across the property, Traveloka's listing confirms a practical, business-and-transit-friendly amenity set rather than a resort-style one. Confirmed facilities include air conditioning throughout common and guest areas, a 24-hour front desk, an elevator serving all 8 floors, on-site parking, and WiFi. The hotel also provides room service and cable TV in guest rooms, plus 24-hour security and a luggage storage service that is particularly useful for guests catching an early or late flight via the KLIA Ekspres from KL Sentral.
- 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security
- Elevator access across all 8 floors
- On-site parking
- WiFi
- Room service and in-room cable TV
- Luggage storage for early check-in or late checkout travel days
- Accessible bathroom and accessible parking provision
On policy, the hotel applies Malaysia's standard nightly tourism tax for non-Malaysian guests, collected in line with national regulation rather than being a hotel-specific charge, and it also requires a modest refundable security deposit at check-in, which is returned at checkout barring any damage or incidentals. Both of these are standard practice at independently operated city hotels in Kuala Lumpur and should not be mistaken for hidden fees.
Location and Getting There
The single biggest reason travelers choose Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel is its address on Jalan Tun Sambanthan, directly in the KL Sentral precinct — Kuala Lumpur's central interchange for the KTM Komuter, LRT Kelana Jaya Line, MRT Kajang Line, Monorail connections, and the KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit airport rail links. Guests arriving from Kuala Lumpur International Airport can take the KLIA Ekspres directly into KL Sentral station and walk to the hotel in a matter of minutes, without needing a taxi transfer across town. For onward travel, especially if a stay in Kuala Lumpur is one leg of a bigger trip, it can be worth comparing flight options on Traveloka for the next destination before checking out, since KL Sentral's rail links to the airport make same-day connections realistic.
Being based at KL Sentral also means the hotel sits within a short ride of Kuala Lumpur's core sightseeing districts. The Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC Park, Bukit Bintang's shopping and nightlife strip, and the Brickfields "Little India" enclave immediately surrounding KL Sentral itself are all reachable by rail or a short taxi ride, without guests needing to rent a car. Brickfields in particular is known for its temples, mosques, and dense concentration of South Indian eateries, all within easy walking distance of the hotel.
Dining at/near Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel
Traveloka's facility data for the hotel does not list an in-house restaurant as a confirmed on-site amenity, so rather than asserting one exists, guests should treat dining as primarily an "at KL Sentral" rather than "in-hotel" experience — which, given the location, is not a drawback. KL Sentral station itself and the surrounding Brickfields neighbourhood are dense with food options within a short walk of the property, ranging from mall food courts inside the NU Sentral shopping centre to independent South Indian and Malaysian eateries that Brickfields is well known for. Guests who want to plan sightseeing or food-focused outings around the area can also browse things to do in Kuala Lumpur on Traveloka to line up nearby attractions and experiences alongside meals.
For guests without a car, the walkability of the immediate area around Jalan Tun Sambanthan means breakfast, lunch, and dinner options are all realistically reachable on foot, which matters for a hotel where the room-level feed does not confirm an included breakfast service — travelers who want breakfast as part of their stay should verify inclusion on their specific rate at the time of booking rather than assume it by default.
Why Stay at Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel
The core case for Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel is transit convenience paired with a solid, guest-verified comfort score. An 8.0/10 overall rating from 2,673 Traveloka reviews, with cleanliness, room comfort, and location all scoring 8.3, suggests a hotel that reliably delivers on the basics rather than one that is inconsistent. For travelers whose priority is minimizing time and cost getting to and from KLIA, or who need a comfortable, well-located base for a Kuala Lumpur stopover between flights, trains, or meetings, the KL Sentral address does most of the heavy lifting. Guests planning a longer Kuala Lumpur trip, or comparing this hotel against other options in the same neighbourhood, may also want to browse other Kuala Lumpur hotels on Traveloka to weigh location, room type, and guest ratings side by side before deciding.
Tips for Booking Palette KL Sentral Station Hotel on Traveloka
A few practical pointers for booking this property: check-in is from 2:00 PM and check-out is before 12:00 PM, so travelers on early-morning KLIA Ekspres arrivals should plan to store luggage (the hotel confirms luggage storage as a facility) rather than expect an early room. Budget for the standard nightly tourism tax if traveling from outside Malaysia, and bring a form of payment for the modest refundable security deposit collected at check-in. Because the property's exact room-tier names and in-room inventory (such as whether a specific room has a bathtub or safe) are not fully itemized in the public listing, it's worth reading the specific room description tied to the rate selected before confirming, rather than assuming every room shares identical features. For travelers building a full itinerary around a Kuala Lumpur stay, the Traveloka homepage is a convenient starting point to line up flights, activities, and other hotels alongside this booking.
