Is Else Kuala Lumpur, a member of Design Hotels good? Overview, pros and cons
Staylist AI overview · based on 8 public guest reviews
“Chic Chinatown oasis, noisy nights”
Else Kuala Lumpur is a beautifully maintained Design Hotels oasis amid bustling Petaling Street — meticulous design in stone, marble, lighting and toiletries, heavenly showers, twice-daily room service, a good included breakfast, genuinely friendly staff, Chinatown and Bukit Bintang walkable, metro five minutes. Guests call it their KL favourite — with sharp warnings: soundproofing is weak (earplugs supplied), temple prayers carry at dawn, one guest was woken at 1:30am by construction and motorcycles and rebooked into a worse windowless room, and guests pay a daily parking fee.
