Sleeping At Kloe Hotel Kuala Lumpur

YafiedaMJ on 31 Oct 2020

A few weeks before the CMCO took place (again), we booked ourselves a weekend staycation at Kloe Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. This time our group consisted of our medium-sized family. This trip took place in the month of September and it was also the first staycation since the MCO was lifted.

Checking in at Kloe Hotel

Kloe Hotel is a boutique establishment located close to Bukit Bintang street. When I say close, it's actually within 15-20 minutes of walking distance to Pavilion Mall. While waiting for our keys at the reception, he shared with us how the hotel's opening was paused during the MCO. They then took this time to fix it up and officially opened up the doors to guests once the MCO was over.

They are indeed one of the lucky hotels to have made it through the pandemic.

Another interesting fact to note is that the owners of Kloe Hotel are also the ones behind the refurbished light-filled backpacker's hostel called BackHome and LOKL Coffee, a brunch place for travelers within neighbourhood.

A boutique hotel for Creative Nomads

Kloe Hotel accommodates guests who want that home-away-from-home feeling while staying in the bustling and fast-paced Kuala Lumpur city. They took it up a notch by providing unique lofts catered to creative and artistic individuals. These artist lofts comprise of 5 concepts - draw, taste, grow, listen, and read, for those who crave quietness and inspiration.

The Instagrammable spaces in Kloe Hotel are cozy and come with an industrial-themed living room as well as an urban oasis with a courtyard swimming pool. Guests can linger around these spaces or catch up with friends at the Lucky caf which serves cakes, light menu options, and coffee.

The chic and relaxing vibe in the lobby area.

Guests are welcomed here at Lucky Coffee Bar which serves light menu, coffee and pastries.

Spending the night in our cozy rooms

Let's talk about the room now, shall we? As mentioned earlier in this post, our parents spent the night in the courtyard room while we took the city-view rooms on the same floor. The standard rooms come with a king-size bed, custom-made retro-feel furniture, and a classy-looking bathroom. We love the personal touches in the welcome note, stationaries, and curated snack basket consisting of nostalgic delights.

The courtyard room was slightly larger than ours, with windows that peak out to the courtyard swimming pool below. There was a long seating bench near the window which I presume became a good spot for my mum to catch the morning sun. We spent our dinner here, ta-pauing Dim Sums from Dolly Dim Sum restaurant. I showed my dad the coffee machine that came with the room and he spent a few minutes making his own hot drink.

The room comes with a desk, cute stationaries and a welcome note.

Kloe hotel included Aesops bathroom kit for guests.

Dining at Monroe, Kloe Hotel

When we made bookings to the hotel, the package came with complimentary breakfast and lunch for each room (for 2 pax each) at Monroe restaurant. It also stated that reservations must be made to dine at the restaurant. There was a minor confusion on this part when I placed a call to the hotel, who informed me that I should contact the restaurant to reserve the seats. When I called the restaurant, they informed me that I needed to book through the Table app and that's when I realized how inconvenient this arrangement was becoming.

The tables were booked up until 3:00 pm for both days and I was unable to make the reservations. After contacting the hotel again and providing feedback to them on prioritizing the seats for paid guests, they managed to secure seats for breakfast and lunch. Mind you that this was not because of any special privileged reasons. It was to make known that the paid hotel package came with complimentary dine-ins which means some priority should be given.

On this note, we would like to thank the receptionists at Kloe Hotel for their understanding of the situation and for taking in the feedback positively.

We had a good dining experience and ordered from the menu which consisted of drinks, mains, appetizers, and dessert. It was worth getting the package for as we all got to try different dishes between us. The restaurant ambiance on the first floor was also cozy and had a nice tinge of a pastel-colored theme.

The complimentary lunch at Monroe came with appetizer, mains, drinks and dessert.

Guests from the hotel and walk-ins are able to make reservations for Monroe via the TableApp.

Exploring the neighbourhood

Those staying at the Kloe Hotel will find plenty of places to visit within the area. A few minutes behind the hotel is the popular Levain Boulangerie restaurant serving up hot, fresh pastries daily. If you prefer a quick shopping spree, there's the Bukit Bintang street with malls such as Sungei Wang Plaza, Farenheit, and Pavillion which are all within walking distance from each other. There's also the Trick Eye Museum within the area, for those who love illusions.

Thoughts on returning to Kloe Hotel

The short staycation turned out to be a good one and we enjoyed the rooms, the food as well as the kind hospitality of the team at Kloe Hotel. I would also like to add here that my dad handed a piece of paper to the receptionist for feedback on improvement. He enjoyed the stay just like us and saw that a few fixes would be good for the establishment.

On this end note, we will definitely return for brunch at Monroe with friends, and perhaps try out the pilates classes i the private studio room.
