Great location to the shopping, restaurant, and tourist place. But I front of the hotel is bit dark so you may need to be little careful especially if you were ladies and kids. The place is one way next to huge and busiest road, so you may take time to get taxi. Staff are friendly and super kind. Breakfast is amazing. They serve lots of local manu but not too strongly local taste. So easy to try it out and find your best local food. And do not worried there are breads and pasta options. Overall i will definitely coming back for next time. This is my best hotel in this area around this badget.

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.

Great location and overall good hotel. However we found a lot of sand in our bed the first night, and I mean A LOT. Don’t know if this is from previous guests (hope not) or something they do. Also asked for Iron but they never came with it, room had iron board so strange there was no Iron.
The location of the hotel is perfect, and lots of things in walking distance

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.
