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 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.

Hotel with Great Customer Service
Service is the key selling point that I am experiencing in this hotel, from the front desk to room cleaning and the restaurant. Hotel is centrally located in Bukit Bintang within walking distance to the MRT. Food is within the vicinity with some good cafes & restaurant as well as the famous Jalan Alor. Suggest to opt for their breakfast as they offer good wide spread of food. Good to kickstart for the day instead of searching around for food. Else, just opposite the entrance is a local eateries. Room wise is clean and tidy. Bathroom lighting is on the romantic spectrum but the water pressure is good with hot water. Good for someone who is picky on bathing like me 😅. Some shortfall, the wifi is very slow during those peak hours and we can’t seem to adjust the aircon to a higher setting. Overall, a great hotel that’s definitely worth the price.

Amazing boutique hotel in great location!
The Kuala Lumpur Journal is the perfect choice if you want to stay near Jalan Alor and near the bustle of Bukit Bintang! It’s off on a quiet-ish street but within walking distance to all the best street food. It’s also very close to the Golden Triangle so accessible to nearby malls. The property itself is so cute and welcoming! The rooms are a fair size, clean and cozy. From the moment we entered we had nothing but amazing service from all of the staff who worked there. We will definitely stay again on future trips to KL!
