What a great location! Shopping malls, food, train, hop on hop off starting station. And did I mention food - Jalan Alor, Damascus… The room is smallish, lacks places to keep your belongings but we’re talking trade offs here for a reasonably priced, clean, modern hotel in this location. Traffic can be crazy. Staff was great. Breakfast was good with good variety.
