KL Sentral
Very good location, right next to KL Sentral and also 7-11’s and other shops and restaurants. Wi-Fi works ok in the rooms but not amazingly. Beds are clean and comfortable. Shower and toilet area could be a little bit cleaner but nothing to complain about. You are provided with towels but recommend you bring your own shampoo and shower gel. Staff are very friendly and check in process is easy. All in all I would stay here again.

EST Suites at Bangsar KL Sentral

KL Sentral
The apartment itself is centrally located and there are good security/valet officers. It is about a 10 minutes drive to Mid Valley and the train station is nearby too. Payment is a breeze too and instructions are clear. There are a lot of good food too nearby if you care to walk. I find that this is the hotel for friends and families but the ”second floor” is pretty steep and not meant for very young children. It is more suitable for families with teenage children instead. There are enough facilities in the house too like Netflix. However, the walls were peeling leaving residue and cleanliness was a slight issue as there were hair here and there. There is also only one access card per room and this made it difficult if you are going out with friends (who wants to do their own things).

KL Sentral
Excellent new apartments (have been open for a month) clean, snow-white bed linen, comfortable bed, separate shower and toilet, hot water, freshly renovated, great view from the window of iconic landmarks, beautiful pool on the roof, excellent budget laundry on the 30th floor, of the shortcomings, there is a kitchen in the room, but from kitchen utensils only two mugs and plates, no cutlery, no kettle, you can ask for it, but they brought it 4 hours after repeated messages in the chat, but overall everything is fine
