In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Prime Bukit Bintang location — Steps from Lot 10, Pavilion, Berjaya Times Square, Sungei Wang, and Lowyat Plaza, with Imbi monorail and the Hop-On Hop-Off bus close by.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Dated rooms in some categories — While some guests found rooms updated, earlier reviews reference older furnishings and single beds, suggesting inconsistency across room types.
  • Street noise potential — The hotel is at the center of Bukit Bintang's lively street scene, so light sleepers might notice noise, despite soundproofing in some rooms.
  • Breakfast not always included — Buffet breakfast is available, but whether it's part of your rate depends on the booking; check before you pay.
