9.0/10

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Kuala Lumpur! The room had the best view of the city with a balcony, even without the air conditioning on. The location was perfect, right in the center of the town near the bustling market and the Pasar Sani station. The dining experience was lovely, offering good variety, but I wish they provided tea bags for tea drinkers. The service was excellent, and the facilities were top-notch. The only downside was the lack of flexibility in extending bookings due to flight delays.
