... Read moreDuring my stay at Else Hotel KL, I found the rooftop saltwater pool truly refreshing and surprisingly beneficial for my skin. Unlike typical chlorinated pools, saltwater pools tend to be gentler, reducing skin irritation and dryness which made my swimming experience much more enjoyable. The hotel's location in Chinatown is a sweet bonus—surrounded by charming floral shops and local eateries like niko neko 2.0, it offers a quiet yet vibrant atmosphere. One notable detail is the hospitality around food. From the appetizing a la carte breakfast served in a cozy dining area to the tasty snacks available by the pool, Else Hotel prioritizes culinary quality. The lobby bar, although I didn't spend much time there, seemed like an excellent spot for evening relaxation and deserves a dedicated visit. Room comfort was enhanced by thoughtful touches like the Dyson hair dryer and premium Aesop shower products, which added a touch of luxury. I recommend messaging room service through WhatsApp for quick responses when needing extra pillows or body balm since direct calls seemed less effective. Overall, with rooms priced around $200 per night, Else Hotel KL balances affordability with style and comfort. If you appreciate a serene rooftop retreat with skin-friendly saltwater pools and great food within a vibrant city district, this hotel deserves your attention.
