Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact rooms — Several reviews note the rooms are on the smaller side, which is typical for a city hotel at this price point.
  • Street noise can be an issue — The lively street adds atmosphere but may mean some noise, especially for rooms facing the road.
  • Limited on-site parking — Parking is available but may be limited; it's worth clarifying when booking if you plan to drive.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.

The location is the big draw – you're within walking distance of Chinatown, Petaling Street, and transit. Rooms are clean but compact, and the street can be lively, but if you're out exploring most of the day, that's a fair trade-off.

7.5Best for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location over space.
