We had a wonderful stay at The journal. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and our room was spotless with a beautiful view. The location was perfect for walking to local attractions, and the afternoon buffet was complimentary. Anamul went above and beyond for us.

The hotel is right in the middle of things in Bukit Bintang, with easy access to transport, restaurants, shops, etc. but the hotel itself was quiet. Nice outdoor pool, afternoon tea a bonus if you need a bit of a rest after seeing the sites. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the hotel has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

I am really confused why this place is not rated higher. The service was brilliant from the security guard at the door onwards; the room was big and quiet; there was a small pool; and it was minutes from shopping centres and amazing food. Don't miss a drink at Helipad, dinner at Sao Nam (book), and a breakfast at The Rabbit Hole. A wander up to Treasure Trove (15 mins) is also good for locally made/designed gifts.
