Every time I visit KL, Verdant Hill is my top choice. It’s a charming, unassuming hotel just 5 minutes away from Jalan Alor, the famous food street.
Location
The hotel is about a 9-minute leisurely walk to Bukit Bintang MRT/LRT. Along the way, you’ll pass by many bars and massage parlors, and in the evenings you may notice some characters loitering around. They’re easy to spot, harmless if ignored, and I’ve had no issues even while walking with my kids at night. Just stay aware of your surroundings.
Services
Housekeeping does an excellent job—our room was always spotless, and you can really see the effort they put in.
Breakfast is another highlight, with a wide selection: local dishes (including delicious Sarawak laksa, a must-try for visitors), an egg station, pastries, Indian dishes, fruits, and desserts. Plenty to satisfy every appetite.
Staff
The staff are friendly and welcoming, always greeting guests with a smile.
Overall
I highly recommend this hotel. If you’re comfortable walking and plan to use public transport, Verdant Hill is an excellent base. From here, I’ve easily walked to Fahrenheit, Lot 10, Pavilion, Sungei Wang, and Berjaya Times Square. Just remember to bring an umbrella for KL’s unpredictable weather!
