We arrived at 10 am on a Friday in Dec, we were immediately given a room. Luckily for us. Overall my stay was great, we were just there to sleep. But the location was fantastic for shopping. Thanks Federal.

I found the hotel itself to be sufficient however was very upset about the validation of my credit card. The checkin at reception obtained my credit card and did the normal things (I presume) however a couple of days later, it was noted my card had been used fraudently with the three digits on the reverse being quoted. As this is the only place the card had been used in Malaysia and the transaction was done in MYR, then I feel the fault lies with the hotel and staff not being securely screened by management. I feel it is a very bad thing to occur and people should be made aware that the hotel has a problem. If you choose the hotel, then I would suggest not using your credit card there, but instead of making way for use of cash.

My window looked on to a pillar so it was never bright and there was no view. That didn't matter too much though as I was outside most of the time. I felt the temperature, especially in the bathroom, was too low and I couldn't adjust it.

Service is variable depending on the staff you encounter but generally speaking the staff are uninterested & whilst not rude or unfriendly I did not find them welcoming or helpful either. The best thing about this hotel is its location, perfect for shopping (in malls) and dining, it's right in the thick of it. If you want markets China town is a better location, which is about a half hour walk from this hotel, which is the equivalent to a $10 ringget cab in the morning and $35 in the afternoon (due to traffice, hence the walking). The bar/resturnt next door has it's music up loud until 3am, despite the fact no one seems to be in there. Can be annoying if you're a light sleeper. When staying there I strongly recommend asking for a room NOT facing to the inside of the building because that "view" is totally depressing and you get no natural light into the room so you can't tell if it's day or night. We requested a room change and the staff were happy to move us free of charge. The rooms (both that we stayed in) were old fashioned styling, very retro (in a bad way) with olive green furniture that you can tell has been there for 50 years. In the first room the wall was drity, the safe was broken, the toilet had stains and the shower didnt have hot water. The linen had marks/stains on them in both rooms, the toilets didnt seem to work properly and both rooms contained old TVs. There was a musky smell present throughout the entire hotel and the control for the room lights frustrated me. Overall we feel we paid to much for what we got. We would not stay here again, it's not a nice place to wake up, Ive stayed in hostels that are nicer. There are a number of other hotels on this strip that we would try out first.

The hotel located in the perfect area for shopping. However, the room was a bit of a disappointment as it was not clean and produced a smell as we first entered the room. The wardrobe's door has a cracked and unable to close. It was below the 4 stars rating standard we were expecting.

The best about this hotel is its location. Just perfect. When staying there I strongly recommend asking for a room NOT facing to the inside of the building because that "view" is totally depressing. The worst about the hotel is the lack of friendliness and service of the staff. With very few exceptions everybody's face has this "I-hate-my-job-and-I-hate-the-guests-expression". Really BAD! When I went to have breakfast, for instance, the guy did not say a word at all (let alone give me a smile). He heard me say my room number, crossed me off the list, and made a gesture that arrogant people make to beggars if they want the beggar to disappear.
