    - no water bidets - bed headboard was dirty with hand prints - no kettle and any complimentary kits or snacks for the price is just unacceptable - aircond was off for 2 hours at night time and when ask receptionist the answer is just they will be back to normal in few minutes but guess not.

    Near to places to eat and nice overall interior.

    This hotel has an average overall performance but comes with some drawbacks. Cons: 1. There is no free parking; the fee is RM15, but parking spaces are limited. 2. Toothbrushes are not provided proactively; guests need to bring their own or request one from the front desk. 3. The bathroom does not have a bidet, which may be inconvenient for some guests. 4. The location is average, which may not be ideal for easy access to nearby attractions. If parking, bathroom facilities, or location are important factors, you may want to consider other options.

    It will be perfect if indoor slippers and washing machine are provided.

    We stayed in this hotel many times. We love it so much. It is charming, clean and quiet even though it is located next to the main road. The staffs are polite and professional. The bed is quite comfortable. The bathroom is perfect. There is a drinking water machine at each floor which is a plus. Across the street there is a public laundry shop which makes it very convenient for those who stay longer. By the way, the monorail station is very close too!

    1.Not seniors friendly-dark staircase, almost invisible lift control, rooms too dark, no bidet, no ergonomic luggage placement. 2.Room is tiny without basic furniture like wardrobe (perhaps a low table will suffice for luggage placement), chair, table. 3.LACKS Basic details that even cheap hotels provide - slippers, coffee and kettle, toiletries. 4. Impractical lighting controls, aircond controls only at the entrance and always seem to revert to 28°c 5. Poor sound proofing

    Clean. Friendly team. Easy parking.

    Where to start... when I think of "boutique hotel", I think of a more catered experience, with style. This place has the style, but it seems like its great reviews are from Instagrammers. It looks pretty! But there are so many missing little things that the experience, even for the low cost, just isn't worth it. ROOM: I chose one of the larger rooms, hopeful for a relaxing break. Nicely they let me check in early so I could get a nap. Less nice are the absurd lightswitches (a master switch so you have to fiddle with everything if you want to be able to turn the bathroom light on at night), the lack of basic amenities (as others remark: no water heater, no bidet, no mini fridge, not even a nice toiletries set which I would expect from a boutique hotel!), cheap bedding (single waxy sheets surrounding a pilled duvet), and, worst, thr loudest doors in any hotel I've been to. I actually asked the room next to me twice (different inhabitants) to close their doors more softly at night. The room just didn't seem soundproofed, and I expressly desire this, more than almost anything, when traveling. BREAKFAST: I don't understand the. high ratings here. No buffet, you pick from set options, fine. But the layer of cheapness I felt during my stay goes to an absurd level here: you get one cup or coffee (or juice or whatever). You pay for any extra. I found this laughable, even far less "boutique"-y hotels would not skimp here. STAFF: the staff were nice and lovely but seemingly untrained for certain levels of guest care--I realized quickly they were not great sources for tourist tips.

    Good style, as many mention. Great location--Chow Kit is cool and off the tourist track

    I can understand that some travellers might find the rooms small and dislike the lack of storage facility but for me the ambience was more important.

    If you don’t want to stay in a corporate looking hotel this is there place for you. I loved the location, with lots of local flavour but still central and away from tourist traps. I loved the decor, art, attention to detail and the general atmosphere. And great value for money.

    The staff is not friendly. I booked a room for me and my 3 year old daughter. Even though I booked on booking.com with 'breakfast included' and had her officially on the reservation, the staff refused breakfast for her. Never experienced that before! There was no friendly word about it - I would not book the hotel again.

    The rooms look exactly like in the pics and are small, but nicely done.

    We found that the water flow of the water machine is too slow so it took some time for us to fill up our water bottle. A sweet reminder, bring your own indoor slippers and toothbrush.

    This is our third time staying in The Chow Kit and we enjoyed it as usual. The hotel is charming and clean. The towels and beds are good. The staffs are professional and helpful. Our room is facing the road but it is very quiet. There is water machine in each floor which is so good. Monorail station, grocery store and public laundry shop are very close. The foods of the restaurant at the ground floor are good too.

    The room is really dim, with limited lighting. Everything’s yellow based so it’s really hard to use their full length mirror etc. Facilities wise, nothing much because they have none like gym, swimming pool. Breakfast was really average; Ala Carte basis but most of the items are not available even when you’re there at 9am. In the room, they don’t prepare enough tissue and I’ll have to ask from the reception again at nights. Smart TV but not smart at all, can’t use Netflix.

    A photogenic lobby.

    The lighting is a little dim for me , rooms size is rather small, but i am still ok as i was alone . No proper table for me . only i coffee table . The 1st room i check in was very strong with cigarette smell. Staff explained that it wasn't due to the previous guess , the smell in my room was most probably from the room upper or lower floor, Hence after changing to another room , it was good at 1st , but true enough i can smell cigarette smoke both night .

    Staff here are friendly , strategic location, reasonable price tag

    Room was incredibly dusty, think the filters on their ventilation system need replacing. Everything was covered in dust each day. However, the cleaning staff could have done a better job of cleaning the room as there was always dust on the skirting boards and under bedside tables for example which means they didn’t pay attention to remove all dirt in the rooms.
