The Kuala Lumpur Journal Hotel

Everytime when I go and visit Kuala Lumpur, I will definitely choose to stay at the lively streets of Bukit Bintang area. Right after we came back from our Switzerland trip, we decided to overnight in Kuala Lumpur for two nights before heading back home to Kota Kinabalu. Luckily that we have decided to stay over for 2 nights instead of 1 cause our flight from Istanbul to Kuala Lumpur with Turkish Airlines was delayed for 6 hours. 

While browsing through few hotels to stay in Kuala Lumpur, this is where I discovered The Kuala Lumpur Journal Hotel (obviously from the social media). And the best part is that we hit the jackpot where we got to book this retro-inspired boutique hotel for less than RM200 per night from Klook.

DELUXE KING ROOM

Decorated with natural wooden elements, the 28 sqm room is stylishly furnished and equipped with ergonomic mattress and microfibre pillows. What blow our mind the moment we stepped in into the room was we're assigned with a room overlooking the monorail track through the large and high floor-to-ceiling windows.
