The hotel is in walking distance to Suria Mall and Gaya Street, where you can find good food without taking grab or taxi. The room is clean and we were lucky enough to get checked in early than the expected time. Because of the hotel is just next to the junction, you may have to expect some traffic noises. Overall it worths the money.
