Hotels in Golden Triangle, Kuala Lumpur

A new hotel that is old. I decided to stay for 2 nights because the evaluation on the net was high. However, when I went there, I had to wait 30 minutes in front of the front desk at check-in. I think it's okay to say a word, but I was disappointed because I didn't seem to be in a hurry and was calm. What surprised me was that I requested a deposit of 100 ringgit and ”in cash”. Normally it would be a credit card. Unfortunately, when I visited the hotel, I was short of ringgit on hand, and I had only one 100RM banknote and less than 50RM of small money, and the rest were Japanese yen and US dollars. After all, more than two-thirds of my money was taken at the front desk. Even if you are told to ”return later”, it would be a problem if you returned the ringgit just before returning to Japan, and it is not always convenient to go to a money changer immediately after check-in. In the first place, it is unreasonable and strange to take a deposit that does not make sense, such as a deposit. I have already paid the accommodation fee, but I wonder what I want to do by collecting a refund deposit anyway. Well, other hotels also make deposits, so even if you overlook it, you won't be able to pay anything with cash. From the standpoint of travelers who want to avoid unnecessary currency exchange as much as possible, it is unreasonable. What would you do if you had fewer ringgits on hand? Are you forced to exchange money? That is the lack of service spirit. I feel a strong resentment. When I moved to the room, I noticed that it was functional because it was young, but there were no windows. After all, if there is no window in one place, the feeling of blockage is strong. All amenities are provided, but there are no hand towels, bathrobes, bathtubs, toothbrushes, hair dryers, shoehorns, slippers, or refrigerators. One thing I found convenient was that the international power plug at the bedside had a USB socket. There is only something new there. Amenity is not bad compared to hotels in the same price range. However, I was surprised that the voices of children making noise in the corridor and the roaring noises were ”out of the box” into the room. I thought that the structure was sweet, and when I looked at the surface of the inner wall, I felt that the construction was rough. The diet needs total improvement. The chairs in the dining room are made of plastic and cheap like those found in food stalls. Although it is a large hotel, it has a small repertoire and no soups or salads. The Malay meal was welcome to me, but what if the guest didn't like it? There is only one type of bread. The only drinks were coffee, tea and orange juice. Light orange juice, like melted powdered drinks, is particularly terrible and not drinkable. By the way, the waiter does not return a greeting. If this is the case, it would be better to stop serving breakfast and focus on other places. Baggage check-in after check-out is very polite. It is managed with individual tags in a locked private room with a surveillance camera. I'm glad about this. Overall, it's hard to recommend this hotel as it is. Meals and deposits are too terrible. The cost performance may be high, but considering that check-in costs 100RM, which is equivalent to one night in a single room, I would pay 1.5 to 2 times to upgrade the hotel. I regret that I should have done so. Each person has different values, so you can choose according to your wishes, but this time I probably made the wrong choice. It's a shame.

Stayed 5 nights in studio suite. Its a spacious plus luxurious room. A romantic one indeed. Easy to commute to nearby shopping paradise in Jln TAR, Jakel Mall stands right opposite Silka. LRT Masjid Jamek is also conveniently located within walking distance. Local night market enlivens Saturday night apart from affordable hawkers stalls at food court Jln Masjid India. The place thrives and we planned our leisure outings carefully not to be trapped in the hectic people and traffic. We enjoyed the room so much and would never hesitate to revisit anytime. Our room was on the 24th (23A) and we're not reminded of the non existence of 24th floor. We had to navigate ourselves asking other visitors in the elevator. It was made worst with the door nit detecting the keycard twice. We had to go down to the front desk to reactivate it. However, the 2nd time we reported that red light appeared on the door after touching the keycard, the staff replied with annoying remarks (her voice intonation) telling us that the card works fine. As if she's annoyed with our frequent reports. Later, she showed us how to use the card to the elevator (thumping her feet unhappily). Thanks to her, later we didn't have anymore problems gaining access to our room for the rest of the stay. Cleanliness, renovation works should be scheduled during the presence of the least visitors. Staff's courtsey could be polished to improve too. Apart from that, me and my husband humbly enjoyed Silka and hope to return for much better experience.

I was assigned to a room next to elevator shaft and it was a nightmare sleeping in that room because it sounded like some construction work going there like piling or something. Room amenities and quality is good, but I wish I was assigned to a room further from the elevator shaft room.

Nice staff near China town and also near the markets have really nice food around and plenty of shops for robes and all sorts of accessories

I stayed for five night in this place and had a good experience overall. The rooms are small but clean and everyday Housekeeping guys were doing a fantastic job to keep our rooms plesentable. Bathroom is well cleaned and water pressure is so good and also it has hot water all the time. This hotel is located in the middle of a bazaar sorting area and if you are a shopping person you can easily walk to the supermarkets and supermarkets such as Mydin, Hanieefa and Lulu. Also its 2 min walking distance to Masjid India metro station and from their it won't take more than 10 min to reach KLCC, Aquaria KLCC and other places. Tip - There is no any nice window view but you can observe the market area in front and I enjoyed it. Breakfast is not so good, the layout is ok.. but all the foods are two oily and they serve pre fried egg in buffet and it become all harden of you come late for the breakfast. And there is no much difference in all five days. We took breakfast outside for two days cuz of that. There are plenty of restaurants around where you can have your breakfast. So you better book without breakfast. When you book a grab make sure you change your location to the nearest road as there is no direct access to the hotel by a vehicle. The cafe is close early (around 5 p.m) but don't worry it's always better to try plenty of restaurants outside. Overall it's a nice place to stay. Hats off to Housekeeping team.

Great place to stay...special theme hotel in KL. Will come back to try another theme room. FOC for my birthday decoration too. Good service for all staffs before I'm booking enquiries or after service also very good. Only no parking , but luckily in front hotel 2 lots parking, I get it.

At least I got my king bed finally after paying for a king bed room and received only a twin bed room with mouldy ceiling. My low rating is for Front Office where it’s terrible. No smile, staff seems unhappy working there. None of the Front Office staff greeted me with my correct family name in my two days stay, at all. Essence staff on the other hand, were always smiling, greeting me and with my family, correct. Food was also really good and delicious with lots of variety. At least, even the GM greeted guests at the lobby with a smile when I walked pass him even when he was with a group of his guest. Front Office staff have a lot to learn. Even some staff coming out from Front Office wearing black suits didn’t even greet any guests when walking out. Learn from the GM.

📍Address: Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur 🚗 Accessibility to transportation: 45-1 hour taxi from airport or 8 minute walk from Dang Wangi MRT. 🏃🏼♀️ Activities in the area: Kuala Lumpur tower, Petronas towers Kuala Lumpur. 🌟 Rating: 9/10 💞Reasons to Recommend: Great breakfast options and times. Tours organised with the hotel were available. The hotel will meet requests such as your anniversary. The rooms are clean and spacious. 💡 Think about: The hotel is a bit far from the center, 20 minute walk from the Petronas Towers. The reception staff seem unorganised at the time we arrived. There were some translation misunderstandings between some guests and the staff that we personally experienced as well as other customers we saw.

First the positive: The location is ideal, there are several good and cheap restaurants and markets that are targeted at Muslim tourists. The clothing, fabric and jewelry shops in the surrounding area are targeted by visitors from Asia and the Arab States. The area is much more pleasant than the somewhat overtourist Chinatown area. Who is fit can explore a large part of the city from here to foot. In addition, you are neither wake up by mosques nor by church noise. However, the rooms are ok, but partly a little more habitable, and smaller than offered. When we arrived in the evening with our reservation made via ZEN rooms, we received a rather simple substandard room which apparently did not correspond to the booked «Deluxe King Room». When we complained at the reception, we were confident on the next day, because today all the better rooms were located. On the next morning we were allowed to choose: only the 3. Rooms were acceptable (the colour of the screwed clothing was leafed, the glass tabla was missing above the washing venue).... But all were significantly smaller than the 23m2 indicated in the booking!

Avoid at all cost!! They charge you full payment. Including 10% service charge + 6% tax! No other hotel does that! Upon walking into the room and opening the bathroom, two cockroaches ran into the shower. The cover to the drain was not available and we had to use the rubbish bin to cover the hole as I could imagine rats or other insects crawling up. See imagines!! HONESTLY that did not throw us off the hotel yet..... it was the fact that was no Wifi at all! When their advert and brochures clearly state high speed internet!! I asked reception about it, she asked me what phone I have? I said iPhone.. she said that’s why, Apple phones cannot connect to wifi here. Like what???!!!!! I’ve never heard of such nonsense! They must think we foreigners have stupid written on our foreheads! Later on.. approaching 11.30pm, still without internet we asked another receptionist, only to be told he will reset the internet and it should work in 15mins. To no avail. So basically we had no choice but to check out (only stayed one out of the four nights), as it was imperative for us to have access to the internet. The owner came out to help us only to be shown that the building wifi did not work on the higher levels either. We even showed him the cockroaches running around in another room they tried to offer us. The worst is yet to come! No refunds provided at all! If you haven’t provided me with a service, why should I pay you?! Pay you for what! In western countries you would never get away with things like that! The reception lady even tried to say it wasn’t her fault and she’s a worker and she doesn’t get paid. Well you have taken my money so technically you are getting paid for something your not doing. Ridiculous! The owner kept trying to tell us to contact the manager, he obviously does not think he has the power or authority to make that decision! What a joke!! Good luck to this run down hotel! Avoid avoid avoid!!!!!!!! They may advertise cheap on booking.com but they add all the fees on top when you check in and it’s more expensive than the other hotels you may consider.
