The location of this place is great, right downstairs is city sq and KOMTAR JBCC. Great for shopping and food. Walking distance from CIQ. But unfortunately the hotel is really lack of staff. At around midnight I called the hotel to ask for ask, no matter the room service, f&b, front desk etc. No one pick up. I ended up giving up on the ice.
The staff was really lack of training.
At about 7 plus 8 in the morning, someone came knocking on my door. I open and the bell boy wanted to pick up my luggage. It would be great if he is at the right room, unfortunately he very blur too a while for me to let him understand I’m not checking out yet.
After that I try to go back to sleep, I couldn’t. I tried to make tea, kettle rusty. I called room service, no one pick up, after a few tries finally someone pick up and said they will change the kettle for me. I waited for more than 30 mins no one came. I give up and go back to sleep, when I finally fall asleep. Someone knock on the door again. I open, he sends me water. He insisted I called room service for water. I told him no I ask for a change in kettle. He say he can’t help. He went around and get a guy from the next room a housekeepers. He say he can’t attend to me. I told the housekeeper I need a change in kettle, it’s rusty. He didn’t understand he took my kettle came back 5 mins with another kettle which is also rusty. By now, I’m too tired to ask for another kettle.
The whole experience in this hotel is terrible.
1 thing is really great about this place. The pillow is really really really comfortable though. Would be great if they can sell the pillow.
The hotel location is convenient. There are a few exits and generally not difficult to find grab at the exits. The room is spacious and clean. Breakfast range is fine (plain prata is quite nice).
I rated amenities low as the lift design is not good. There are only 3 lifts that operate between 8th to 33rd floors. It is okay when all 3 lifts are operating. For my 3D2N stay, there was almost one full day where one or two out of 3 lifts were down which led to super long wait for the lift at peak hour like breakfast time. Do think they need to relook into the lift.

My husband and I always love the city hotel. Why ? We love the vibes, the people, the location. This is our go to short escape, we go to every hotel in the city for 2days1night, we sit near the window with our JCO's Donut, enjoying the view, and resting. Sometimes we just want new air, feel stuck yesterday ? Now our mind is clear and fresh ☺️❤️ Oh yes, the crib clean and thanks for the free coloring book + crayon, popcorn, and refreshing welcome drinks. Service good, no doubt. Just the entrance and the mall, it is not stroller friendly so I need to go a bit farther and the parking lot is not near too with the lobby. Or Maybe I need to go again to check the access. That time we try to find the way but it seems like that's the way at that time.

We booked at the very last minute yet the service rendered was commendable. The room was ready in top notch condition despite the last minute booking, spacious and perfect for our family of four. The amenities and breakfast spread was perfect. Will definitely return again!

The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was big, clean, and had a nice view. Great location. Nice rooftop pool.
The room service took almost an hour to come, and the chicken chop was cold and undercooked... Otherwise, we would have given 5 stars.
