Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located near Bukit Bintang monorail, offering easy access to vibrant nightlife. The rooms, though matching the pictures, lacked a view of Petronas Towers due to an issue with the air con. The service was satisfactory, and the dining experience had some room for improvement. Overall, it's a decent choice for a short stay.
The hotel had a minimalist but comfortable room that was surprisingly spacious for the price. The location was a huge plus, allowing easy access to the city while being away from the noise. The dining experience offered a wide variety of Asian and European meals. However, the surrounding area may not look nice, but it doesn't affect the overall experience.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with comfortable rooms and friendly service. The location was superb for exploring the city, although the dining experience was not exceptional. Overall, a good value for the price paid.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The room was soooo comfortable and quiet, very clean with a large comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom. I was impressed by the Head of Restaurant and, last but not least, The Hotel Manager. The hotel is basic and clean; I loved the Netflix plug-in and the rain shower.
The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms with all necessary amenities at a reasonable price, although slightly smaller than expected from the photos. The view of the city from the bedroom is lovely. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Bukit Bintang, close to main streets and within walking distance to popular attractions. The dining options are average, and the facilities are satisfactory.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were quite spacious and had two types of beds to choose from, which was really convenient. The only downside was that the air conditioning in one of our rooms wasn't cold enough, and it would have been great to have cupboards for hanging clothes instead of just an open hanging rod. The service was top-notch with excellent housekeeping and valet parking available. The location was a real winner with plenty of amazing dining options nearby. The dining experience was delightful with a varied spread for breakfast, especially at their restaurant in level 1 at Kedai Kopi Journal.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room I stayed in was right beneath renovations, which was a bit disappointing, but overall it was spacious enough and quite clean. The location was perfect, with convenient access to Bukit Bintang district and major attractions, although the dining options were a little below my expectations.
My stay at the JOURNAL hotel was a mix of delightful surprises and a slight setback. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had lovely little touches that made the stay special, like the '555' notebook and complimentary drinks. However, the initial cigarette smell was off-putting despite the smoke-free claim. The service was excellent with attentive staff. The location was ideal, close to popular shopping and dining spots. The dining experience offered a good variety of dishes at a reasonable price. Overall, a great value for money with enjoyable facilities.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a great view of Bukit Bintang. The service was top-notch with excellent housekeeping and valet parking. The location was superb, allowing easy access to Jalan Alor Food Street and other popular attractions. The dining experience was amazing, offering a wide selection of freshly cooked items and Malaysian dishes. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money!
