Évaluations de V Hotel Pudu

V Hotel (previously Pudu Bintang) has been my go-to place in KL for almost 10 years. Before Covid, it used to be a perfect budget place: clean and functional, nice staff, good location next to an LRT station. Sadly, no more. They've completely given up on maintenance and mostly on cleaning too. Many fixtures are broken, window doesn't fit. Aircon is not working and caked in a thick layer of dust (I cleaned the outside, tried not to think about the inside), curtains are dirty, everything seems dirty. Sheets didn't seem clean either, and towels were rags salvaged from another hotel. Doesn't smell great. Soap dispenser was broken, so was the tap. Even saw a cockroach, albeit only a small one. Reception staff were not particularly polite or welcoming either. This was a deluxe window room, I could barely stay there one night. I imagine non-window ones would have been basically uninhabitable. All this is unlikely to be fixed. It was better a year ago (scruffy and in need of maintenance that never came), but went all the way down from there. Seems like their new business model is to spend least possible on the upkeep. Avoid.
