A lovely up-scale boutique hotel. No pool or gym, but they are close to the historic Chow Kit Market and they are surrounded by lots of fun and unique dining options. The hotel bar and restaurant is also phenomenal!

Lovely hotel

I loved the stay in The Chow Kit, the atmosphere in the hotel was like to be back in the 50's. The drinks the bar was one of the best I have ever tasted. The location was good, quite close to monorail station Medan Tuanku.

I can comfortably say that The Chow Kit is my favourite hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Everything was just right. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who appreciates minimal design codes with a touch of heritage.

It's about three stations away from the bustling Bukit Bintang area, and the monorail is just a 6-7 minute walk. The boutique hotel offers a unique stay with its blend of traditional charm and modern, cosmopolitan, yet cozy design. Thumbs up: When I brought in food from outside, the staff kindly offered me cutlery—such a thoughtful touch. It may seem small, but it made a big difference, allowing me to enjoy my meal more comfortably. The staff's attentiveness and kindness truly stood out.

weekend stay

Friendly service by the hotel and restaurant staff. Clean and comfortable. The Den room is a bit small if you have alot of luggage , it is best suited for 1 person. Bring your own toiletries (only bath gel, shampoo, and towels provided). Great happy hour deals.

We spent 1 night at this hotel and have fallen in love with it. We definitely will stay here again in the future. We are sitting in the hotel’s restaurant right now. We checked out and knew we wanted to have lunch here before we left. The food & service is top notch. I am a retired Chef so I greatly appreciate good service & cuisine. Great job!!

In terms of cleaning the rooms left a little to be desired and could be improved. In terms of service they were all fantastic🙂. And when it comes to the options of breakfast there wasn’t many but from the options that there were available they were all super nice and super delicious.

For the first time since a long time I haven’t been this type a concept hotel that fill with Kuala Lumpur culture from the 70’and 80’ vibes that bring back my childhood memories growing up there. It’s was an amazing experience even for a tight space in the middle of city, the vibes is everywhere.

The decor was very tastefully done with very interesting details. Service staff were all friendly and attentive. Amenities not provided in the room but we could call to request for them and they were promptly delivered to the room (we requested for an iron and kettle). The towkay soh suite was spacious and had a great view. The cocktails and breakfast we had at the bar/restaurant were also delicious. Highly recommend this hotel!

Claudia was helpful and friendly at check-in. Room service took a while to deliver the dental kit. They also gave a kettle inside of an iron. At breakfast time, iced gencha came without ice. Poor water flow at the sink. All in all, we will most likely not return.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort

Very basic

Disclaimer: I booked the standard Den room, which is a 15-metre square room with a bed with 2 bedside tables, and 1 coffee table in the room. There is basically nothing else in the room. It is good for sleeping, but there is no desk or even a single chair. I do not feel welcome in the room as there isn't any toiletries (every single item is upon request and you basically have to spell out each item, or they will only send what is asked for) and no slippers provided (not even upon request). No coffee or tea amenities in the room. The bathroom design is pretty, but the water drainage is bad. The shower water easily wets the toilet area as shown in photo. For the MYR400+ (a night) paid, I really regretted my stay and I believe that I can get better options elsewhere.
