The staff are all wonderful, very friendly but professional. The rooms were great with everything you would need for a few days in KL. The position is very near public transport which was reliable and quick. Grab works well but the traffic can be very busy. The shopping mall The pavilion was a mere 5 min stroll away and had good eateries, shops & coffee shops in an air conditioned mall. It was the start of the covered walkway to Petronas towers so a pleasant 15 minute stroll. Would definitely recommend if wanting a good 4 star hotel in KL
