The Chow Kit – An Ormond Hotel

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their friendly smiles and genuine hospitality. Check-in was quick and effortless, and I really love the room designs! The bed was comfortable, and the room has fast Wi-Fi, plenty of charging outlets too. The hotel’s location was perfect, within walking distance of great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. I especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast! Its made by order so everything was very fresh Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!!

I’d stayed here twice and would come again. I loved the hotel view and interior. You can really tell the hotel appreciates art because there’s artwork everywhere, from the room to the kitchen and bar downstairs. The room was perfect for two. It’s cute, bed was super comfortable, smart tv is convenient. I also have to mention the service at the Kitchen and Bar downstairs because it was genuinely amazing. I had lunch there, then came back for dinner twice and enjoyed it every single time. That kind of consistency really stood out. Room service was also fast, convenient, and easy. Overall, it was a really comfortable stay with great service and a calm atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

Came here for an event, left with the vague feeling that I should now own better shoes and have stronger opinions about design. Boutique hotel planted right in Chow Kit, once infamous for wet markets and red light lore, now quietly reinventing itself one curated lamp at a time. The lobby feels like a tasteful clash between old Shanghai glamour and New York art deco, moody, confident, slightly theatrical. Event space was smooth, air con behaved, sound system did not embarrass anyone, which already puts it above average. Crowd was artsy, conversations were meaningful or at least convincingly so. Stayed only a few hours, but long enough to respect how this place turned a gritty postcode into a respectable talking point.

Recommended Hotel in Kuala Lumpur with a Monorail and City View It’s my second time at The Chow Kit - an Ormond Hotel and yes, this hotel is truly the best. What makes this hotel different is that it’s a boutique hotel so although it doesn’t have a swimming pool, it still delivers an amazing experience. I absolutely love the vibes — so cozy! Although the hotel is nestled in Chow Kit, it’s a great escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Plus, the hotel smells incredible! I really love it. It’s no wonder why the hotel has also been awarded “Malaysia’s Best Boutique Hotel 2024” by the World Travel Awards.

Our stay was decent, but it definitely could have been better. Other reviews already cover most of it — no dental kits, iron, slippers, bidet, etc. The room itself was pleasant though, with a nice industrial vibe. Location-wise, it’s right next to Chinatown and between two rail lines, both within walking distance. KLCC and the Petronas Twin Towers aren’t too far either. For the price, I’d probably opt for a 5-star hotel next time I’m in KL.

We had a great experience at Chow Kit by Armand Hotel. Carmen was really helpful, she assisted with arranging our 4-course meal and provided table seating name cards and decorations, which made it feel more festive. Some of our team members are allergic to seafood, and she kindly adjusted the menu for us.||Her team - Firdaus and Putra were friendly and attentive. The chefs - Farhan and Hamka, made really tasty food. Every dish, from starters and salads to mains and desserts were interesting, blending Malaysian flavours with Western-style dishes.||Downstairs had an event that night, so it was a bit noisy at times. Parking was a little tricky too, as we had to carry our gifts and couldn’t stop in front of the hotel, taking a Grab would be easier.||Overall, the hotel has a nice, classy vibe, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner here!

Not my first time staying here and its easy to see why I keep coming back. The atmosphere is effortlessly chic. I love the beautiful minimalist interior and the welcoming vibe throughout the hotel. The breakfast deserves a special mention because this has been my go-to order. Delicious, well-presented and perfect to start your day. It is honestly one of the highlights of my stay. The location is super convenient too, right in the city and close to everything you would need like cafes, public transport and shopping spots. Overall, i would say its a perfect blend of comfort, design and accessibility.

My recent stay at The Chow Kit - an Ormond Hotel was exceptional! This boutique hotel is a stylish sanctuary in KL, blending modern comfort with classic Malaysian heritage. The room was beautifully designed and truly comfortable; the luxury linens and bed were heavenly. A major highlight was the dining experience at The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar with my mother. The menu offers a delicious modern twist on local cuisine, and the service was warm and attentive. We absolutely loved the Musang King Cream Brûlée! To top it all off, I took advantage of the partnership with Antara Spa & Wellness and received 20% off a treatment as a hotel guest—a wonderful perk! It was the perfect way to unwind after exploring the city. The staff across the board were courteous and helpful, making the entire stay feel premium yet relaxing. I highly recommend The Chow Kit for anyone looking for a memorable and high-value experience in Kuala Lumpur.
