Hotels near Jardim / Praça, Kuala Lumpur

A budget 'boutique' hotel a couple of minutes walk from Jalan Alor food Street and the bars of Bukit Bintang? A trendy hotel stay for little more than £20, the price of 2 pints of beer in the surrounding area!? Can that be possible? Well, yes, just about. The hotel is tucked away in a side street behind the food street and a strip of massage shops- when walking here you'll run the gauntlet of 30 kids per shop trying to encourage you to take an overpriced massage. The street is urban gritty but funky- all the buildings are painted in street art, including the Melange hotel which has a cute kitten peering into its windows. It's a thin, six storey block with glass frontage. After an elaborate check-in process and the usual addition of mysterious extra taxes you always get in Malaysia, we were assigned a room on the 5th floor. The impression I got having checked out all the floors is that floors 1 and 2 (shiney wood panelled corridor) and 3 and 4 (swishy curtain covered corridors) are probably better standard than floors 5 and 6 (painted corridors slightly stained carpets). However our room was okay- fridge, big TV, a/c, large comfy bed, good sized bathroom with separate shower room and the best shower we had on this 5 week trip. The room had a window with views of the city skyline over the rooftops and the scruffy tenement building in front. I enjoyed watching KL's infamous rats make their way up the side of the building and in through people's windows. Our room seemed clean enough but it was let down by easily fixable things like staining on the funky white bed headboard which could have been deceased insects or even nasal debris and unmistakably a greasy head print. There were certainly 'boutique' elements such as the storks painted on the ceiling and unusual wire bedside lights, which I think were once insects but have now lost their wings, but then the whole thing was let down by little things like the key card only working on the 10th attempt. We slept well though- the bed was comfy and the room quiet, although the window didn't close properly which allowed more noise in than it would have if it closed. Staff were efficient and spoke okay English. The rooftop bar/ restaurant looked nothing like the photos shown on here. There was no one in when I called, just 2 teen staff watching cartoons on TV. It's a good view from the balcony but you can only access this when the bar is open and it closes early afternoon. With a little investment to tidy up small defects this could be a really nice hotel. However, I guess the conundrum for the owners is that to invest more may mean pushing the room cost up and I'm not sure mid range travellers would appreciate the 'gritty' city surroundings. As it is, it's a perfectly good budget option in a very convenient location.

I stayed at the Mesui for a few nights in late September 2019. For a budget hotel, it’s great value. The room was small, but was clean, and had working air-con, a TV and a good en-suite. The bathroom was a bit humid, but there was no issue with the smell. Staff were fairly helpful, and the hotel had a safe vibe (other than a couple of street walker types out a couple of blocks away after midnight). However, the location is the main positive. Mesui is 5-10min walk from the main Bukit Bintang retail area, the Jalan Alor food street, the Bukit Bintang train station and monorail, and the Pavilion mall. One of the best roti canai places (TG’s) is 5min away too. The KL Eco Forest (and KL Tower) is only 10min walk away, and KLCC Park and the Petronas Towers would only be 10-15min. Everywhere else is easily reached on the metro train - for example the National Museum is only a couple of stops away. Excellent value for money for a great base for a short visit to KL.

My second home in KL and I have been staying with park royal since 2022 (I go to KL once every 2 months) so I lost count how many times I stayed in Park royal. This year is the first time I spent my birthday there and a very pleasant surprise from the hotel. The bed is so comfortable with the super duper soft pillow that I always slept well when I was there. Please keep the good job that you guys have been doing and kuddos to the house keeping and reception staff whom are always smiling and greeting me, your hard work and professionalism is what keep me coming back! Not to forget the breakfast which is so good!

Strategically located and also nearby to the eateries, groceries shop. We have a nice stay there.

We booked the Apartment through Air BNB, and we felt satisfied. We rent 2 bedrooms apartment and it was spacious with completed facilities. The Apartment located at the central, walking distance to Bukit Bintang Area, Jl. Alor and also easy to order Grab Taxi or Grab Food if you need to order it. There is also a convenience store, coffee shop and restaurants next to the apartment. The swimming pool is huge and superb. Great place to stay.

Good clean room, with great view! There was a lot of people in the lobby when we came, but we only waited less than 10 minutes to check in because there was an efficient number system. I read a lot of reviews about the lift situation, but we actually went down quite a number of times just to go out and eat, or grab something from grab, & the lift process was quite smooth. All in all, a great stay.

I was not able to take a picture of the room we stayed in. The location was city centre and accessible to taxi and bus. The room and bath were clean. Liquid soap was provided but no shampoo and the wifi in our room on the 8th floor was weak. There was no cafe and restaurant in the hotel the staff said that due to the pandemic they closed it. There was a 24/7 convenience store near and walking distance restaurants. The staff were accommodating. Overall 8/10 rating.

One of my best hotel experiences yet. The staff were exceptional and incredibly helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The pool and bar were relaxing. The lunch on the first floor was also very good. The hotel is in a very convenient location. All of the main city sights is about a 20 minute walk away. Petronas Towers, Central Market, Chinatown, Little India, KL Tower, Pavilion Mall and the food street were all a 20 minute walk from the hotel. I’d recommend for anyone staying in Kuala Lumpur.

Love the stay at Element. It’s quiet place, away from the busy streets yet not too far from KLCc and KL tower. The room is clean and pleasant. View from room is very nice. Only thing is the car park is beside the hotel so it’s a little more troublesome to pick the car and the car park is operated by third party so we need to validate the card whenever we drive out. Overall experience is good w the hotel.
