Opened in 2019, the KL branch of this hip hotel chain offers 210 capsule-like rooms that are more spacious than the Citizen M standard – request one with a courtyard view, as these are quieter and more attractive. All have large beds, smart TVs and small bathrooms. The communal facilities – work spaces, TV lounge, cafe-bar, ironing rooms – are particularly impressive.
