Location
The location is quite convenient. It is around a 15–20 minute drive from Kuala Lumpur city centre (depending on traffic). There are also plenty of eateries and convenience stores nearby, including a 99 Speedmart, making it easy to grab food or daily necessities.
Parking
The hotel provides secured gated parking for guests, which is a great plus. However, the number of parking bays is very limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. They also offer additional parking spaces in the office parking area within the same building, but these are only available on weekends and, I believe, public holidays when the offices are closed. A refundable RM50 cash deposit is required for the parking access card.
Service & Facilities
The receptionist was friendly, helpful, and professional during check-in. The hotel has a breakfast buffet area, although I didn't have the opportunity to try it, so I can't comment on the food. A deposit of RM50 cash only for the room is required upon check-in.
There is only one lift serving the hotel, so waiting time can be slightly longer during busy periods. Since the hotel occupies part of a commercial shoplot building, you'll find several restaurants and convenience stores within walking distance.
Room
I stayed in a Standard Room on the 4th floor. Access to the guest room corridor requires the room key card, which adds an extra layer of security, and I appreciated that.
The room itself is quite small. It's perfectly adequate for a solo traveller, but I think it would feel rather cramped for two people with luggage.
The positives:
Comfortable bed.
Clean-looking and fresh-smelling bed linen.
Strong water pressure with reliable hot water.
Water dispenser, iron, and ironing board are available in the communal area.
The Downsides
Unfortunately, there were two major issues that affected my stay.
The first was the noise. Because the bathroom is positioned very close to the bed, I could clearly hear the plumbing whenever guests in the rooms above used their toilets. The sound of rushing water and what seemed to be a water pump was quite loud, especially during the night.
The second and biggest issue was the cigarette smell. I specifically requested a non-smoking room, but upon entering, there was already a noticeable cigarette odour. To my surprise, there was even an ashtray inside the room. As the night went on, the smell became progressively stronger, although I couldn't determine where it was coming from. The persistent smoke smell made it difficult to sleep, and I woke up the next morning with a sore throat.
I had originally booked a two-night stay but decided to check out after the first night because I didn't want to risk becoming sick. I understand this is a budget hotel, but I've stayed at many other budget hotels without encountering such a strong cigarette odour or waking up feeling unwell.
Overall
The hotel has several positives, including helpful staff, good security, comfortable bedding, strong shower pressure, and a convenient location. However, the cigarette smell in a supposedly non-smoking room and the plumbing noise significantly affected my experience.
Sadly, because of these issues, I don't think I'll be returning.
