3Stayed at this hotel last week, it was a pleasant experience.
In my hunt I went through several reviews and several hotels but not all my questions were answered..hence I am going to list all relevant info to help you understand this property better.
Location - very central, walking distance from KLCC shopping center and 10 mins walk to Bukit Bintang (KL's great night spot and shopping area). TGI restaurant 1 Min away, lots of clubs and pubs within 5 mins of walking distance..great location..
As location is central its also a very very busy traffic area, recommend taking the monorel (a few hundred meters away - Raja Chulan station) especially in the mornings and evenings which connects to some stations on the LRT and also goes to Kl Central.
Hotel - Nice hotel, good restaurants, check in is efficient.
Room - I stayed in a Single room with a Queen bed. The room was spacious and very clean though the carpet slightly stained. TV has very good reception(not LCD) and channels include BBC, Star Sports, Astro Sports, Channel 7, and 2 English movie channels (media vision I think - watch out though what you watch in the morning is repeated in the evenings). Mini bar with a decent variety. Bathroom is nice too, has a tub. never had problems with hot water. You can choose the road view overlooking the monorel cause its bright.
Room has a big window, nice curtains. Lighting is on the darker side though, room is not very well lit.
Internet - Wifi and broadband access, good speeds however costs 49.95 for 24 hours and 16.95 for one hour so on the expensive side as more and more hotels offer free internet now.
I took a taxi from the airport cost me 70 ringgit (prepaid)and return taxi 80 ringgit (return taxi organised by bell desk) takes minimum an hour - again depends on time you arrive/depart.
Overall a good experience and I will stay here again on my next visit.
