The service was good and professional, and the hotel was very clean and comfortable. It was also surprisingly quiet for such a good location, and offered great value. The showers had hot water, and there was soap, shampoo, filtered water, toothbrushes and toothpaste, plus coffee. The air conditioner was quiet as well. It’s a budget hotel, so there are a couple of compromises: sheets are changed every other day, and there are no bedroom slippers, so bring your own. If you need a window, consider paying a bit extra for a king room on the second floor. It may be hard to switch rooms or upgrade after arrival because it’s popular. There’s no parking on site, so I parked at the shopping mall opposite, where regular patrols take place. I’d recommend it and will come back.
The location is excellent, right beside Aeon mall and within walking distance of Toppen Shopping Centre and Lotus's. Staff were friendly, the bed was comfortable, and the shower had hot water and good pressure. It’s a comfortable, basic hotel. Some fixtures need replacing, though: the shower head holder was loose and the sink was a little cracked. There was no hand soap in the toilet, only shower gel and shampoo. Also, rooms on the second floor have no elevator.
We slept well both nights, and that kind of rest is worth a lot. Our king room was spacious and clean, with a mattress that wasn’t too soft and an air conditioner that seemed well maintained. Service was good. There’s no fridge or slippers, and an extra pillow costs RM5 per night. For the price and location, though, it’s a great deal. Go in without big expectations and you won’t be disappointed.
The room had no window, and that wasn’t disclosed when I booked. There were ashtrays in the room despite the no-smoking policy, and I could clearly smell smoke coming from the corridor. The rooms are all on one level, reached only by stairs. When I told reception, she shrugged and said there were no other rooms. Her only suggestion was to spray mine, rather than check which room might have had smokers. Dismal and completely unacceptable. I’ll leave a similar scathing review with Trip.com. For the price, you can get much better value elsewhere.
A good, affordable place to stop overnight after a trip to Taman Mount Austin or Aeon. It’s just behind Aeon.
