[2025 Kuala Lumpur Stay] Travel Guide for The Chow Kit - an Ormond Hotel (Updated May)

#boutiquehotels#100waysoftravel#deliciousfood Recently had the pleasure of staying 2 nights at The Chow Kit, An Ormond Hotel. The location is fantastic with easy access to public transportation, making it convenient to explore the city. From the moment step in this boutique hotel, we can feel the nostalgic ambiance, the dim lighting, retro decor, and furniture all contribute to a vintage atmosphere. The room(The Den) has a pleasant scent, quaint furnished and impeccably clean, the pillows and mattress are comfortable, I had a good night sleep. There has a nice city view when resting beside the window! The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar is just beside the lobby, the food is pretty amazing, you simply cannot stay at this hotel without indulging in their culinary offering that showcases the best of local flavours, literally a delightful experience! 📍1012, Jln Sultan Ismail, Chow Kit, 50100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.

❣️Located opposite the old Maju Junction shopping mall, close to the Sultan Ismail LRT station. There is a bridge from the LRT station to the hotel directly leading to the hotel entrance. ❣️The room is spacious and clean, with a classical design. There is also a rocking chair in the room where you can sit and enjoy the scenery outside the large glass window, which is very relaxing. The bathroom is quite big, the toiletries are nice and nice, but no toothpaste or toothbrush is provided, you can ask the staff for them. The disadvantage is that the air conditioner is noisy. ❣️The hotel restaurant mainly serves Malaysian cuisine, I like how they localize some western dishes, such as fish and chips, they serve deep fried whole fish instead of traditional fish fillet, it tastes surprisingly good. They also used Hainanese toast to pair with the mutton soup, which I thought was very creative and I really appreciated their sincerity in making food. ❣️Breakfast is ordered, with many choices, such as nasi lemak and curry toast, which tastes very good and is a pleasant surprise. #Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand city hotels #Kuala Lumpur cuisine #Kuala Lumpur hotels #Overseas travel #Malaysia travel

What not to love with this hotel. The design is so aesthetic and super duper pretty ! We first saw the hotel on one of vietnam top blogger's page which shows the view of KL city with train passing and immediately fall in love with it. So we booked a room that is similar which is The King Den with KL City view ! It is a corner room that has a wonderful 180 degree view of KL suburb ! With big large windows from floor to ceiling, no doubt it is great for doing time lapses whenever a train passes. Look at the pictures shared and tell me what would you think of it. #newyearadventure #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip

#staycation A hotel with a minimalist decoration with a nice ambiance and an elegant feel. They have a high speed internet. We stayed two nights here. I slept with my two students. We’ve enjoyed out stay. It is in good location because it is near to the Medan Tuanko Monorail station with roof covered bridge with a rainbow color connecting from the hotel front to the station.

Kt bahagian atas ada rooftop, amboii lawa betulll viewww diaaa. Tak move on wehh ootd pakai night mode kt situ. Overall best la stay sini. I would recomend for short trip.

Last weekend was staying at the hotel for the very first time and never been to the hotel before at all. Upon arrival at the hotel, proceed to check-in and thank God the process did not take me very long and just a blink of eyes kind of moments done with everything. I have then back to my car to offload my stuffs and carry them straight to my room. A room with a king bed and spacious enough for one person which made me thinking of calling some friends over for some catch up moments tho (jk jk). The hotel’s surrounding is interesting enough for exploration as I later realized there was a historical spot which I don’t even know existed in my entire life until that day when I happened to explored that place. Overall it is a very good hotel to stay and nice places for explorations.#staycation #awesomepic

Love the little details to the decor that make The Chow Kit moody and sophisticated. Very clean with excellent service. Room was small, but well done.

The Kitchen at The Chow Kit is a cozy, elegant spot tucked inside The Chow Kit hotel, perfect if you’re craving Malaysian comfort food with a touch of class. The menu features all the local favourites—nasi lemak, beef rendang, laksa—done with a modern twist and premium ingredients. It’s familiar yet elevated, and you can really taste the care they put into each dish. The vibe here is warm and stylish, with a mix of vintage charm and modern touches. Whether you’re dropping by for a relaxed breakfast, lunch with friends, or a quiet dinner, it’s got that laid-back yet refined feel. Great place to unwind and enjoy classic Malaysian flavours done right.

I had such a good experience staying at The Chow Kit - an Ormond Hotel. It’s cozy and elegant with an old school charm. The room is not very big, but comfortable enough for two person, who enjoys a short stay. They provide the basic necessities like water kettle, hot shower, mini fridge, tv, work desk and chair, hangers for clothes and more. The location is strategically within the city, well connected to many interesting places so traveling around KL is no problem. It’s only a 5 minute walk to the Sultan Ismail LRT station and Medan Tuanku Monorail station. Not to mention, it’s been awarded Malaysia’s Best Boutique Hotel in 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 by World Travel Awards! Definitely a hotel to have a staycation in.

🏨Hotel: The Chow Kit Hotel 💞Recommendation reason: The room I stayed in was a city view room, where I could see the trains passing by and the view of CHOW KIT. The overall cleanliness was in place, and the room was also equipped with soundproof glass, so I couldn't hear the sound of cars and trains outside. Mainly experience the European style hotel. I heard that the food in the restaurant here is delicious. There is a restaurant in the hotel lobby which has a great atmosphere! 🚴Transportation: The surrounding transportation is also very convenient, about five minutes away from the station. There is a 7-Eleven near the hotel, as well as some Indian food. There is also a SOGO department store within walking distance. Come and experience it #MarchGoodPlaces2025 #KualaLumpur

Located in Chow Kit, this hotel is convenient for daytime strolls, though nightlife options are limited to a nearby Mamak. Rooms are clean and comfortable, though bathrooms lack a bidet. Parking costs RM15/night with limited spots; an overflow lot is available for RM20/night. The retro décor creates a nostalgic vibe, and the lobby's soothing aroma enhances the experience. Dining options are tasty but slightly pricey. Ideal for those seeking a charming, vintage-inspired stay in Kuala Lumpur. Hope you like it. #newyearnewtrip #malaysiatrip #StaycationKL #ChowKitHotels #WeekendEscape

#kualalumpurhotels This hotel was formally a Tune Hotel, which is part of Air Asia. It has now rebranded as the Chow Kit. We had a great time at this hotel for four nights. Close to the monorail station which can take you to other connection points so that you can catch trains all over KL. It was only two stops from Bukit Bintang which is kind of the nightlife area with tons of restaurants, upmarket and even standard level shopping malls. Check in staff were very friendly and efficient, as were the bar and restaurant staff. This hotel exudes a kind of quaint atmosphere, but we loved it and would not hesitate to stay there again. It was only about a 20 minute walk to Chinatown and Petaling Jaya markets also.

Heard from a friend that this hotel is nice and the food is good. Had a staycation with my sister and a pleasant experience. Step into the hotel and welcomed by the friendly staffs. Check in was fast and smooth. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I like a solid bed. Can't hear noise from outside the road though can hear next door opening or closing door. Will be better to have a bidet. Breakfast was good. Had a nasi lemak and big breakfast (forgotten the name lol).

#kualalumpurhotels I stayed here for two nights during a quick stop to KUL. I could recommend this beautiful elegant boutique hotel, the rooms as expected and had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was delicious, I ate granola yogurt and fresh fruits, orange juice was made with fresh oranges and well-made cappuccino, my husband was eating toast with eggs, and I recommended a chicken stalk and pepper sauce for dinner. The lobby and restaurant area is very comfortable. The staff are friendly and will do their best to help with any queries about a very enjoyable stay and will be back. This hotel was officially the Tune Hotel, part of Air Asia. It has now been rebranded as Chow Kit. We had a great time at this hotel for four nights. Near a single-rail station that can take you to other points of contact so you can catch trains throughout Kuala Lumpur. It was only two stations from Buket Bintang which is a kind of nightlife area with plenty of restaurants, high-end shopping malls and up to the standard level. The check-in staff were very friendly and efficient, as were the bar and restaurant staff. This hotel exudes a kind of weird atmosphere, but we loved it and we would never hesitate to stay there again. It was only about a 20-minute walk from Chinatown and the Petaling Jaya markets as well.
