We had a very warm welcome, assistance with our luggage and refreshing cool fruit juice to help us settle in. Everything went well. The mini bar refill each day owas great as was the ,"afternoon tea" , 'happy hour" and drink offers . There was a good range of options for the breakfast buffet. Location was good. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and a little drink or two. If I visit KL again I would stay at this hotel again. We felt well looked after. Thank you.

Hotel is in a fantastic position in Bukit Bintang. Staff and amenities are great. Great if you are a single traveller, but storage space in the room is too little for 2 people.

8/10 Very good

Once again, a great stay at the Journal for a work trip. I have stayed many times before, but think this was my first room on the front of the hotel, 9th floor. Better view than the rear, but unfortunately, also noisier at night with both traffic noise and music from somewhere? The staff, accommodation and food was as usual, fantastic. Will definitely stay again, but will ask for a rear room next time.

We had a wonderful stay at The journal. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and our room was spotless with a beautiful view. The location was perfect for walking to local attractions, and the afternoon buffet was complimentary. Anamul went above and beyond for us.
