Guest Reviews
- Jessie (6/5): Highs and lows - Beautiful hotel and great location. Unfortunately, the basic in room amenities were lacking. There is no tea/coffee/cups in the room. There were also no robes or slippers provided. Difficult to take a shower without flooding the floor of the bathroom due to the design. Additionally, there was only a shampoo/conditioner combo- So, if you require conditioning your hair best to bring separate. When we requested a kettle, etc it was provided for us. But, took a few requests to acquire cups etc. Finally, on short notice the friendly staff booked us an airport pick-up which was very kind. We were told we could pay by credit card for a fee. We elected to not exchange currency at the airport and wait for a better exchange rate. Unfortunately, on arrival to the hotel, the taxi driver informed us that he was unable to take cash. After some negotiation, the hotel agreed to pay the taxi driver for us and hold our USD as collateral. We appreciate it helping us but better communication on the front end might’ve prevented the incident.
- Oskar (10/5): Ett bra hotell! - Ett bra hotell i kuala lumpur. Vi bodde två nätter och är väldigt nöjda!
- David (10/5): - Nice hotel clean and quiet room was small but very cozy. Nice bar and dining area.
- Thomas (10/5): Loved it - Lovely hotel in handy location. Staff were great, super helpful
- Kwang Meng Andy (10/5): Fantastic service and convenient location - It is near malls, food and conveniences stores. Also safe location along main road.
- Joon Fui (8/5): - It's about three stations away from the bustling Bukit Bintang area, and the monorail is just a 6-7 minute walk. The boutique hotel offers a unique stay with its blend of traditional charm and modern, cosmopolitan, yet cozy design. Thumbs up: When I brought in food from outside, the staff kindly offered me cutlery—such a thoughtful touch. It may seem small, but it made a big difference, allowing me to enjoy my meal more comfortably. The staff's attentiveness and kindness truly stood out.
- William James Guy (10/5): - Fantastic stay
- min (10/5): - 闹中取静，很适合个人或情侣。
- andrew (6/5): - Hotel staff was excellent and the room was very nice and new, the only thing I would say there was no kettle, tea, coffee or toiletries in the room, most other hotels for the same money provide these
- Umadevan (4/5): - The room is too close to the main road and it’s very noisy. Also the hot water is not working.
- CHWEE TEE (10/5): - Awesome stay! Friendly staff and nostalgic decor well detail. Great value for money too.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great hotel, lovely decor, very helpful staff & good location. However, comfort not so great as it was very difficult to sleep with motorbikes racing around outside in the early hours of the morning. Not sure if this is just a weekend thing! The restaurant was also closed all evening for a private event, & it would have been good if this had been communicated beforehand.
- Patrick (10/5): Wunderbares Boutique Hotel zum fairen Preis - + Tolles Zimmer (Aufpreis zu KL City View lohnt sich sehr) + Toller Café + Atmosphäre und Signature Raumduft in den öffentlichen Bereichen + Top Lage zur Monorail
- Duarte (8/5): - In terms of cleaning the rooms left a little to be desired and could be improved. In terms of service they were all fantastic🙂. And when it comes to the options of breakfast there wasn’t many but from the options that there were available they were all super nice and super delicious.
- Weng Fai (6/5): Very basic - Disclaimer: I booked the standard Den room, which is a 15-metre square room with a bed with 2 bedside tables, and 1 coffee table in the room. There is basically nothing else in the room. It is good for sleeping, but there is no desk or even a single chair. I do not feel welcome in the room as there isn't any toiletries (every single item is upon request and you basically have to spell out each item, or they will only send what is asked for) and no slippers provided (not even upon request). No coffee or tea amenities in the room. The bathroom design is pretty, but the water drainage is bad. The shower water easily wets the toilet area as shown in photo. For the MYR400+ (a night) paid, I really regretted my stay and I believe that I can get better options elsewhere.
- Casey (10/5): - We spent 1 night at this hotel and have fallen in love with it. We definitely will stay here again in the future. We are sitting in the hotel’s restaurant right now. We checked out and knew we wanted to have lunch here before we left. The food & service is top notch. I am a retired Chef so I greatly appreciate good service & cuisine. Great job!!
- Maria (10/5): - Lovely stay, hotel is located really near monorail station so easy to get into the centre of town! Clean well equipped rooms with high quality furnishings!
- Verified traveler (10/5): weekend stay - Friendly service by the hotel and restaurant staff. Clean and comfortable. The Den room is a bit small if you have alot of luggage , it is best suited for 1 person. Bring your own toiletries (only bath gel, shampoo, and towels provided). Great happy hour deals.
- Ali (6/5): - The rooms need to be uograded. The actual room did not look like the ones we saw online during booking. It looked like a regular cheap hotel/motel.
- Gerlando (10/5): - Great property and very friendly staff.
- Michael (10/5): - I can comfortably say that The Chow Kit is my favourite hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Everything was just right. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who appreciates minimal design codes with a touch of heritage.
- Jon & Jean (6/5): - Claudia was helpful and friendly at check-in. Room service took a while to deliver the dental kit. They also gave a kettle inside of an iron. At breakfast time, iced gencha came without ice. Poor water flow at the sink. All in all, we will most likely not return.
- Frederic (10/5): Great boutique hotel - I enjoyed my stay. It met all my expectations. From the smell in the lobby, the delicious food, the design and attention to every detail about the furniture, images and textures... The staff are kind and helpful. I will return god willing! Terimakasi.
- Ana (10/5): - The hotel was modern, clean and well appointed with an exceptional staff. The front desk and the restaurant team were especially welcoming and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): A Gem & must stay in Kuala Lumpur - Amazing staff who are friendly and helpful. Rooms are beautifully decorated and wonderfully comfortable. Highly recommended. Eco friendly, and definitely a place that is worth returning to.
- Yook Ting Amanda (10/5): - The decor was very tastefully done with very interesting details. Service staff were all friendly and attentive. Amenities not provided in the room but we could call to request for them and they were promptly delivered to the room (we requested for an iron and kettle). The towkay soh suite was spacious and had a great view. The cocktails and breakfast we had at the bar/restaurant were also delicious. Highly recommend this hotel!
- kai (8/5): - Ambience was good, rooms were designed nicely but there the sound proofing was very bad. I can hear people slamming the doors and moving things at 7am, disturbing my sleep.
- Liina (10/5): Lovely hotel - I loved the stay in The Chow Kit, the atmosphere in the hotel was like to be back in the 50's. The drinks the bar was one of the best I have ever tasted. The location was good, quite close to monorail station Medan Tuanku.
- Hafiz (10/5): - For the first time since a long time I haven’t been this type a concept hotel that fill with Kuala Lumpur culture from the 70’and 80’ vibes that bring back my childhood memories growing up there. It’s was an amazing experience even for a tight space in the middle of city, the vibes is everywhere.
- Deborah (10/5): - A lovely up-scale boutique hotel. No pool or gym, but they are close to the historic Chow Kit Market and they are surrounded by lots of fun and unique dining options. The hotel bar and restaurant is also phenomenal!
- Christophe (8/5): Très bon - De passage à KL avant de rejoindre les îles Perhentians Nous avons passé 2 nuits dans ce petit hôtel de taille humaine. Le personnel y est très accueillant, la décoration est juste exceptionnel avec une thématique rétro et coloniale juste de très bon goût. Un très bon premier souvenir de nos vacances en Malaisie Un seul petit reproche la taille de la chambre : très petite mais rehaussée par un entretien parfait et le calme qui y règne malgré la grande activité du quartier. Merci encore pour votre accueil...
- Brian (10/5): - Great design, friendly staffs, service was fast. The bar offer some really good drinks.
- LF (10/5): - I enjoyed my short stay here. Great ambience, great food & drinks and staffs are really friendly. I highly recommend the cocktail selections.
- Mark (10/5): - Came down to KL for work and totally enjoyed my stay. Near to public transport and walking distance to shopping. Dining experience at the hotel's restaurant was great. Will definitely stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Superb... perfect fr our weekend gateway.. great surrounding. All ok except there's no basic amenities provided fr such an classy accommodation. Management should think of that. Exceptional credit fr staff by the name fiqah on rectifying our minor booking issue which overlooked by hotel personnel on our request. We stayed in room 213 212 on 14/11
- Liew (4/5): Disappointed for the food, no quality. - Very disappointed with the quality food in the chow kit restaurant, we have order Chicken wing for my lunch and It's not cooked, There still blood inside. Then tomorrow morning we have order the breakfast set with sausage, then this time the sausage is not cooked, inside sausage is still freeze. The kitchen Dun have the quality, like this also can mistake. Very disappointed for the food and kitchen.
- Yang (8/5): - Value for the money. Room size is a bit small, but it’s just for a night, we are fine with that. Hope they can provide free parking for in-house guests.
- Andrew (10/5): - Excellent service and environment. Great breakfast and Tea time food. And not to forget, the cocktails with amazingly skilled bartenders.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautifully styled property, quality and unique furnishings. The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar is fantastic. Overall the hotel offers a really good price - quality ratio
- Anonymous (10/5): - Wonderful service all around, especially by Narita and Hafiq at check-in.
- Jen (4/5): - No laundry service. No luggage rack. Room is the size of a shoe box. Staff had no knowledge of options for tourists.
- Georgina (4/5): - Neighborhood is not convenient. Staff are not helpful.
