I enjoyed my stay at Smile Hotel Chow Kit Pwtc, especially for the reasonable price and comfortable bed. The room was compact but clean and cozy, perfect for solo travelers. However, the walls were quite thin, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep sometimes. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the Chow Kit monorail station and the vibrant Petronas Towers area.

The room was small yet well-maintained, featuring comfortable bedding and a kettle for coffee. However, there was no wardrobe and the air-conditioning unit had a timer that restricted its use, which I found inconvenient.

The hotel offered good Wi-Fi and hot water, which I appreciated. However, I noticed the room was quite small and lacked some facilities like a mini-fridge.

I stayed at Smile Hotel Chow Kit Pwtc for three nights, and while the location near Chow Kit monorail station was convenient, my experience was quite mixed. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming, but the room left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort. I had noise issues from the nearby family room, which made it hard to sleep. Overall, it might be okay for solo travelers, but I wouldn't recommend it for families. 😕

My stay at Smile Hotel Chow Kit was fairly pleasant, thanks to its cleanliness and friendly atmosphere. However, the semi-transparent bathroom wall was quite awkward for me, especially since I was sharing the room with colleagues. Overall, it's a decent budget option if you're looking for convenience and comfort, but there are some quirks to consider.

The room I stayed in was compact but beautifully clean and presented well. The absence of a window and TV didn't bother me much since the bed was quite comfortable and the shower room was great. Just be mindful of the odd bathroom wall situation if you’re not on a honeymoon.

The staff members I encountered were pleasant and welcoming, which made my experience better. However, I did find it odd that I had to leave a cash deposit even though I had already provided credit card details during my booking. They almost forgot to return my deposit upon check-out.

While there was no on-site dining, I appreciated being close to local Indian-Malay restaurants, which offered delicious food. I had to buy my beer from a nearby liquor store as well because of local customs.

Facilities were basic but functional. The WiFi was complimentary, which I found to be a nice touch. The lifts worked well, and room service was decent, but the lack of entertainment options on the TV was disappointing.

I recently stayed at Smile Hotel Chow Kit for a few nights, and while the boutique hotel has a great location near the Chow Kit monorail station and plenty of local eats, it also has its downsides. My room was clean but compact, and I found the air conditioning to be an issue. Plus, the noise from the hallway and neighboring rooms made it tough to relax at night. Overall, it was a mixed experience! 😊

During my stay at Smile Hotel Chow Kit, I appreciated the clean and cozy atmosphere. the hotel's location near the Chow Kit monorail station made it easy to get around. However, the compact room was a bit too snug for comfort, especially with the semi-transparent bathroom wall. and there were some issues with air conditioning that affected my overall experience.
