It's all about location. Transit system within 20m of front door as is Jalan Alor. Free GoKL bus around the corner, in heart of Bukit Bingtang but away from the noisy nightclub/bars.
Hotel is old but the room is large, solid walls but ventilation in bathroom is just a grill and cigarette smoke does come in from other rooms, only slightly but it can be detected.
Has a kettle, 2 mugs and spoons but nothing else, where is the tea and coffee? I would stay here again.
