Perfect!!”

The Chow Kit Ormond Hotel perfectly suited our needs and superseded our expectations. The hotel and rooms' interior is tasteful, modern and invited us to spend much more time there than we anticipated! The Junior Suite was the perfect size for us travelling with a child not yet a year old as the little one was able to crawl around. The beds were heaven - probably the most comfortable hotel beds we've ever slept in. The kitchen is modern and delicious and even though we did not book the room with breakfast, we decided to eat there every day. All staff was super nice, helpful and accommodating! Be it with lost luggage that they follow-up on (Thank you, Rachel!), giving us tips how to spend New Year's with a baby or with storing our luggage. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Chow Kit Ormond Hotel - and on top it is in walking distance to a couple sights in KL.

Beautiful hotel in Chow Kit, nearby many eateries”

We stayed in King Den with KL city view, with the monorail passing right in front of our room every 15 mins or so. Delighted to say: no noise from outside, and we had a good night's sleep. They provide bottled water - and there's a refill station just outside the lift area. Would be great if there's hot water and mugs. Hotel also provides fantastic-smelling shampoo and body wash, but bathroom doesn't have a hook for your clothes. It has a towel rail, but the towels already take up the space. Breakfast menu are reasonably priced (typical cafe price), but everything else is a tad too steep for us. No problem though, as there are many good eateries just across the street. There's Little Rara, Ting Tong Pizza, Restoran Sederhana, Restoran Kudu Bin Abdul, Nasi Kapau, and Mi Tarik Silu, Kin Kin Pan Mee, among others. A morning walk around the neighbourhood is highly recommended. Nothing much to see within the immediate area of the hotel - mostly wholesale shops - but if you're willing to head out a bit, there's Pasar Chow Kit, Kampung Baru, and Jalan TAR, Masjid India.

Excellent premises, faultless”

Wow, what a vibe! Super funky with an homage to colonial decadence. Impeccable service, the restaurant and bar themselves, coupled with superior service and an incredible menu, were 95% faultless (one night I got a knock at my door at 11:30PM asking to sign a restaurant bill they forgot to charge me for - not sure how this could not have waited until morning!) Location is close to the Chow Kit Night Market, which is great, also close to Petronas Towers but the remainder of the historic centre (little India, etc,) are a good 30 minute walk (to 10 minute grab) into town. Will I be back? Sure! NB the introductory prices were the reason I gave 5* for value, $60 AUD a night was incredibly competitive.

Pleasant experience for solo traveler”

For someone who was travelling alone and had spent 4 Days 3 Nights at the Ormond Hotel, it was a lovely experience. The staff were helpful, friendly and kind. Despite that there wasn't free amenities such as toothbrush or toothpaste, I actually did not mind that at all because the hotel were very upfront about reducing plastic waste. I appreciated that a lot. It's nice to know that they are environmentally conscious. The rooms were exceptionally beautiful and I appreciate the decor and atmosphere. You could also Airplay and stream music from Spotify or YouTube to the TV in the rooms. I would definitely come back again! Can't wait.

Great hotel for a staycation ”

Pros- Newly Built Hotel do everything is new and fresh. Their contemporary And chic styling with essence of historical design is top notch. Every part of the room and amenities is premium and high quality. Location is near to KL monorail (walking distance) and walkable to the shops at JALAN TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN & Chow Kit. Amazing sound proofing in the room. Cons - Parking is limited and located outdoors. Inconvenient if it’s raining.

Great value for money and excellent design”

We checked into the Chow Kit during its 1st month promotional period and were very happy with the thoughtfulness of the place - water dispensers with recyclable bottles greeted guests at every level, with extra towels available at the amenities cupboard. The quality of the fittings and fixtures were excellent and I must say the quality of the linen (including bedsheets and towels) were exceptional. The design of the entire place has a charming nostalgic charm to it yet timeless and modern. Probably could improve on the check in but understandable since this was during soft opening. There aren't much facilities but I guess the real charm is in exploring the Chow Kit neighbourhood and sample local food!

Brilliant weekender stay”

The property is looking to put Chow Kit back firmly on the map as a destination in its own right, much as Brickfields saw a resurgence a few years back. It is a luxurious boutique property with attention ot fine details, backed by a stellar staff that make every person feel like a VVIP with run of the house. Highly, highly recommended! Bonus: 1) the ish and chips may be the finest I have had in 7 years in Malaysia, and 2) sneak through the lobby back door into the MoMo taco bar for barbacoa and sangria in the evening after the hotel's own happy hour at The Kitchen.

24hrs in KL”

The Chow Kit is a lovely boutique hotel with the charm of NY style brownstone. It's well-apointed rooms and decor are a nice touch. The ground floor art decor style bar serves up great cocktails and a lovely breakfast menu. The bed linen is crisp and fresh, strong water pressure in the showers. I would be very happy to stay at the Chow Kit again and happily recommend.

Amazing Experience”

Definitely, I would suggest to everyone this beautiful small Hotel, designed till small details to make you feel comfortable. The rooms are nice,friendly staff, great restaurant and the perfect location. I need to give my compliments to the barman Michelle for the cocktails, hospitality and suggestions regarding the places in Kuala Lumpur. On my next trip to KL, I will definitely choose the same hotel. Thanks Marija :)

Best Staycation and Uber Masculine Decor”

It's been a while the last time we had a staycation in Kuala Lumpur. And we simply love the vibe of this new craftsmen hotel, paying homage to the area and to local craftsmen & designers too! Christmas' Eve dinner was not only delightful, but the 5-course meals blew our mind, taste and presentation + only RM 85++, Its a steal! If you like a less bustling city centre, this is the place. There is private parking ( for RM 15 ). We will be back real soon!

Explicitly awesome!”

Well trained staff that goes for an extra mile when it comes to service. Simply the best hotel to stay when in Kuala Lumpur. Excellent experience....highly recommended...and it’s worth every dollar spent.

Swanky new kid on the block!”

Swanky newly refurbished property in downtown Chow Kit. Nicely decorated common areas. No pool on this one. Room was clean, tasteful and comfortable. Would've appreciated more hanging hooks if anything. There's a self-help pantry corner on every floor should you need a water refill or an extra towel. Just make sure to properly check the room they give you upon checking in. I specifically booked the King's Den because of the window but was given a normal Den's room which faces the air-well. Front desk took awhile to respond to this and never offered an explanation aside from an apology. We headed out for a stroll and came back 3 hrs later and had to wait an additional 30 mins because they were not sure which room to give us. I blame the fact that they're fairly new (a month's old) so the staffs are probably still in training. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay!

Good Hotel at Good Location”

Ormond is a brand new hotel in the up anc coming Chow Kit area. The design and interiors are great. Only issue is the shower screen could be better placed to avoid splashes to the floor outside the shower

Flatters to Deceive”

Its not a terrible hotel by any means, its fine, and the staff are , I must say, excellent. Yes, it is well designed and yes, it is trendy and looks cool and the staff are obviously well trained, but its the little things that let the hotel down. For a hotel in Asia it is absolutely unforgivable to not have a bidet pipe in any hotel. It was obviously a westerner (as am I) who designed it and didn't realise that having a bidet pipe is ESSENTIAL in Asia. That totally ruined my mood about the hotel and is probably the main reason for this not so flattering review. However, there were other reasons why this hotel falls down at the final hurdle, so to speak. I stayed in what is supposedly the best room in the house the Towkay Soh Suite, and in no particular order here are my gripes: * There was no coffee making facilities * The wardrobe / deck piece of furniture seemed like an afterthought and was fairly impractical to use *The art in the room was drab to say the least (I am being complimentary here!!) Though I do accept this is subjective, it did not enhance the feel of the room IMHO *There is no room for your own toiletries in the bathroom *The shower head was nice to look at but useless as has been dropped so many times that it sprayed water in every direction bar the one it was meant to be spraying in * No provided toiletries that even cheap 3 star hotels can manage to provide. * There was no glasses in the room at all * Whilst I applaud not using plastic bottles for water, why not provide glass reusable bottles to fill up your water in the lift area? Giving me two plastic water bottles for my two night trip which were not sealed as far as I could see made me wonder how many times these particular bottles were used before - Glass I could deal with, bog standard plastic bottles, less so. *Charging me RM30 for 2 nights parking is a steep compared to other major hotels in KL that charge either nothing or a very small fee and leaves a slightly bitter taste after

Cleaning, valuable and friendly staff”

Pros:- Dedicated and friendly employees. The hotel was very clean and the janitor cleans it daily. Not a speck of dust along the corridor. Bed, towel and pillows were good high quality. There was a water dispenser located at the elevator that encourages recycling by using own water bottle or use the bottle that the hotel provided to fill up water before every trip. Breakfast was awesome as it was prepared with passion unlike those typical hotel buffet as the hotel breakfast is ala carte style. Easily accessible to F&B eateries. Cons:- Location although near to Medan Tuanku LRT station but not driving friendly. As it was located after an entrance of a highway, grab or taxi need to make a u-turn before they are able to come by the hotel which might cause the waiting time longer than expected. Not much entertainment on the TV as there are selected few channels only. In conclusion, this hotel is worth every penny and highly recommended. Will book it again. :)

not so atas in Chow Kit”

Rooms are pricey for the size but nicely furnished. Limited pay to park next to the hotel. Cheaper if you don’t mind walking a bit and leaving your car a little further away. Why would anyone stay here? The hotel could make for a good base if you’re exploring KL on foot with monorail and LRT stations nearby, but don’t walk the area too late at night, Chow Kit at night can get a little inner-city hard, even for the most street-smart.

Absolutely mad love to this hotel!!!”

Super love the atmosphere and the oriental design of the hotel. the hotel put effort into the consistent design of the hotel from the doorknob, basin, shower head, even toilet holder. when i first entered the room, the tv on screen even personalized a welcome message to me and allowed phone screen mirroring which make the staying experience very homely. It is very clean, probably it is newly built. very supportive of the hotel being environmentally friendly that they re-used the mineral water bottle. only downside is staff being non attentive enough. upon check in, the staff take awhile to attend. during the stay, have called twice to requested for luggage rack but still not delivered and no call was returned to inform of rack availability status. walking distance to LRT and nearby have several famous food options like nasi kandar and chili ban mee! quite near to klcc and tower. Overall, will not hesitate to stay with this hotel the next time i visit kl!

Falling in LOVE with this hotel!!”

I LOVE every details about the hotel! the room even it is small but the detailing is above my expectation! The super comfy bed and pillow.. I LOVE everything about the hotel. The day shift staff is so friendly and nice! they are pretty too! is worth the money. Is just that they do not have complimentary coffee and tea in the room but is not a big deal. Will come back for my monthly stay-cation!!! and the shampoo is so nice!!

Beautiful hotel”

we had a nice pleasant stay. room is spacious and I like the design of the room. bed was comfortable. i love that they have a water refilling station in front of the elevator so you can reuse your water bottle. the bathroom is kinda dark though and there isn’t any sodas or juice in the fridge and no cotton pads, q tips or oral hygiene kit in the bathroom.

Extremely satisfied ”

I love every corner of the hotel’s interior and decoration. The breakfast served was really good. Would definitely come back again if im in Kuala Lumpur
