The Rooms have been renovated and are fabulous. Better than some dated 5 star hotels in Kuala Lumpur. The exterior is a nit rough but the rooms are awesome. Big and spotless with a free bar fridge with loads of water and drinks. Great location close to restaurants and pavilion mall.

This nice little hotel is a bit of a hidden gem. I have stayed here several times now, and find it quite convenient for my needs, and with food and shopping options being very walkable, I'm sure it would suit many. Buffet breakfasts are ok for a small hotel, not extensive, but a nice selection. (not always set up by 7 am on weekends though, so made timing for my commitments a little pressed.) I'm sure I'll be back to stay again.

The KL Journal is one of the hidden gems of Kuala Lumpur. We stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The hotel is located in the hustle and bustle of the Bukit Bintang area but is just a few steps in a side street that keeps it quiet. Our stay was very comfortable and the view from the room was outstanding. But the most exceptional part of our stay was service we received from the staff at KL Journal. Right from our fast and friendly check in to the daily service and personal attention to details along with the best recommendations - we cannot say enough about the exemplary service we received at this hotel. I would like to single out and name Rohaizad, Farid, Sin Ling, and Aiman who provided exceptional service. Even the floor staff and the doormen were so attentive to details and personally helpful. A very welcoming staff indeed. Thank you KL Journal for making our stay in KL so memorable.

The staff at the Journal were excellent, they were very friendly, efficient and polite. I was made to feel very welcome. I loved the afternoon drinks and snacks that were provided, this was a very nice touch. The room was pleasant with a great view of the Petronas Towers which looks fabulous at night. The location is very convenient for MRT, monorail and shops and restaurants. Breakfast was good.

Hotel with Great Customer Service
Service is the key selling point that I am experiencing in this hotel, from the front desk to room cleaning and the restaurant. Hotel is centrally located in Bukit Bintang within walking distance to the MRT. Food is within the vicinity with some good cafes & restaurant as well as the famous Jalan Alor. Suggest to opt for their breakfast as they offer good wide spread of food. Good to kickstart for the day instead of searching around for food. Else, just opposite the entrance is a local eateries. Room wise is clean and tidy. Bathroom lighting is on the romantic spectrum but the water pressure is good with hot water. Good for someone who is picky on bathing like me 😅. Some shortfall, the wifi is very slow during those peak hours and we can’t seem to adjust the aircon to a higher setting. Overall, a great hotel that’s definitely worth the price.
