The 5 Elements Hotel

We have stayed in 5 hotels around the area in the last few years, this would be the best, but was the most expensive. Good spacious clean room, although a good hard deep clean would be useful. Some mould in the bathroom (a common issue in Asia) and a bit dusty. Really handy to Central Market and the Chinatown attractions and shopping; carpark underneath is a bonus. Breakfast was a bit plain but good enough although the staff were a bit slow to replenish as items were consumed. All in all, would come again.

Excellent stay. Fast and easy check in and check out.

Overalls are good, my only wish is that breakfast is optional, for as a chinese, staying near China Town has got plenty of good foods, I would like to eat some local breakfasts. That’s my only dislike.

Excellent

Third time staying at this gem in Chinatown. The hotel is ideal if you wish to be outside the busy Bukit Bintang or KLCC areas. Plus, with the new MRT stop at Pasar Seni (5-10mins away) the area is a lot more connected than before. There are a bunch of new hipster cafes in the area and plenty of old school restaurants too. The area itself seems like it is on its way to gentrification. The hotel has some splendid views from the upper floors of the KL skyline too. I've come back for the location and the rooms - the latter are really spacious, comfortable, clean, and functional. Breakfast is still the usual spread - nothing too fancy but the good basics. The breakfast area itself might need to an update ;) but that's hardly a complaint. The staff at brekkie, at the front desk and the cleaning staff are all friendly and easy to speak with.
