The Atelier

Liked I was confused by the place but they honestly did give me the information on how to get in except one small detail. It's fine though. The place was very quiet. There's a lot of door codes and cameras. The bathroom was leaking from the ceiling. The room is perfectly clean. But I didn't realize there's no private bathroom. No bugs. No funny smells. However, I think it's overpriced for what it is: communal bathroom, hidden, kiosk hotel.

Liked A surprisingly well priced little gem. A little tricky to find, once inside it’s a tidy and clean haven from the bustling world outside. We stopped for a short night after flying in and checked in (with a super-friendly lady) at about 23:30! Bed was very comfy and The Botanist room was lovely and had a private bathroom. A lovely little find for a low price!

Liked Staff stayed up to let me in at 1 am in the morning. Were very friendly and welcoming and helpful in arranging a grab Taxi to take me back to the airport. Room is basic but comfortable and clean.

Great option to stay close to KK airport!

Liked The short distance to the airport is ideal to stay here before departure (like we did) or after arrival. Also, the traffic coming/going from/to the airport was manageable thanks to direct road connections crossing the highway. To get into the city or Tanjung Aru beach, we used Grab which worked fine and was not very expensive. Still, to really enjoy downtown KK we would recommend to pick a hotel in the city to have everything in walking distance (e.g. the Horizon Hotel). The rooms are modern and looked as nice as on the pictures, the bathroom and shower were also in a very good condition. The staff we met was very friendly and we liked the option to have a shared fridge outside the room for some snacks and drinks. Wifi was good and worked perfectly. Otherwise it is very much self service and you get a code for your door instead of a key. The hotel is on the upper floors of a business/mall building, downstairs are plenty of restaurants and shops, very convenient. If you arrive by car, you should be able to find parking space in the garage (free). The automated check-in procedure with passport scanning using a terminal similar to self-check in booths at an airport was not really that smooth, but we were greeted by an employee who was happy to assist us. Maybe not the easiest option for travellers that are not too comfortable with the digital world :-)
