What a great location! Shopping malls, food, train, hop on hop off starting station. And did I mention food - Jalan Alor, Damascus… The room is smallish, lacks places to keep your belongings but we’re talking trade offs here for a reasonably priced, clean, modern hotel in this location. Traffic can be crazy. Staff was great. Breakfast was good with good variety.

Our stay at The Journal Kuala Lumpur was a truly pleasant experience. The staff were incredibly courteous and always eager to assist, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The room was clean, functional, and equipped with all the necessary amenities expected from a hotel of this standard. The hotel’s location is another standout feature—it’s centrally located and just a short walk from a fantastic shopping mall, making it perfect for both leisure and convenience. The neighborhood also offers plenty of dining options, giving guests the chance to explore local and international cuisine with ease. Breakfast at the hotel was varied and satisfying, offering a decent range of options to start the day right. Considering the excellent location, the quality of service, and the amenities provided, we found it to be fantastic value for money. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur!

I had the pleasure of staying at The Kuala Lumpur Journal, and I must commend the management and staff, particularly Farid, for their exceptional service. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with a delightful afternoon tea, which immediately set the tone for our wonderful stay. Farid went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our stay was perfect. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality truly stood out and made a lasting impression. What made our experience even more special were the thoughtful touches provided by the hotel. Each night, we were treated to complimentary desserts like green bean soup and ginger soup, which made us feel truly at home after a long day of shopping. These small but meaningful gestures showcased the hotel's dedication to guest comfort and satisfaction. The hotel itself was immaculate, with well-maintained facilities that provided a comfortable and relaxing experience. Every aspect of our stay, from dining to amenities, exceeded our expectations. Thank you to Farid and the entire team at The Kuala Lumpur Journal for making our stay so memorable. I look forward to returning and highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere.
