I decided to stay at the "Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur Autograph Collection," because it is located in a safe area, and it is also a new Marriott hotel. Also, the charcoal grill at the restaurant in this hotel was said to be delicious, so I was looking forward to it as well.
What is the appearance of the hotel? Check the entrance and reception
The hotel is a 21-story modern brown brick building.
There was a parking space at the entrance. There was always a porter at the entrance who opened and closed the doors, managed suitcases until check-in procedures and rented out umbrellas.
When I entered the entrance, there was a front counter in front of me. As it is a new hotel, everything was clean and the interior was modern.
The front desk was small, and only two groups could check in at the same time.
Sofas in the lobby.
There was an escalator next to the front desk.
There were elevators at the back.
Guest room floor elevator hall.
Guest room floor corridor.

What is the Deluxe Twin City View Room like?
Guest room entrance door.
There was a bathroom on the right and a closet and baggage stand on the left.
I stayed in a deluxe twin city view room, which is the most reasonable of the three categories, and was well cleaned. The room has a modern and calm atmosphere based on gray, and it is equipped with facilities such as Wi-Fi, so I was able to stay comfortably.
Two double-sized beds were prepared. The mattress was stiff, but comfortable to sleep on. There was a mat of about 5 cm between the bed body and the bed pad, and I could sleep well with just the right hardness, probably because this mat was suitable. There are two large pillows of the same hardness.
There was a table between the beds with a SONY alarm clock / radio and lights. There was also an outlet.
There was a desk and Tv across the bed.
Coffee machines and water were prepared on the desk.
There was also a TV remote, phone and outlets on the desk.
The room seen form the window.
The window was big.
The room I stayed in was on the 14th floor, which would originally have a nice view, but I couldn’t enjoy the view at all because the outside of the window was covered with blocks, which is the exterior wall design of the hotel. Therefore, the inside of the room was not brightened by the sunlight, and it felt vaguely bright. However, it seems that there are rooms in the same class where you can enjoy the view, so it is better to make a request when making a reservation. Rooms with views of the Twin Towers and KL Tower have windows on the entrance side of the hotel.

Bathroom
The deluxe room I stayed in had no bathtub and only a shower room.
There is also a bench in the shower room.
There are two types of shower rooms; an overhead shower and a height-adjustable / removable hand shower, and there was no problem with water pressure and temperature control.
In Malaysia, even a 5-star hotel may have brown water or little hot water, but I was able to take a shower comfortably without such a thing.
Next to the shower was a mangosteen body soap and shampoo.
The toilet seen from the shower room.
Toilet
There was a sink next to the bathroom door. The mirror had a circular light and was very stylish.
On the shelves next to the sink, amenities such as toothbrushes, cotton swabs, cotton, sanitary bags, body lotions and a bar soap were prepared. I was happy that the lotion and soap belonged to the British luxury brand Aromatherapy Associate.

Restaurants and Shops in the Hotel
Both dinner and breakfast were served at the restaurant “Brasserie 25” on the 1st floor. A small charcoal grill restaurant. Since you can drink alcohol, it is often used not only by families but also by couples, and some people were dressed up at night.
An open kitchen.
There was a sofa which was comfortable to sit on.
During the “We grill, You chill” event, a charcoal-grilled meat and vegetable, fish liter and chili dog platter will be served. This is 2 servings.
This is an American style breakfast. Originally, breakfast is served buffet style, but due to the influence of Corona, I had to choose from 6 types of sets.
After dinner, I went to the bar “MAN TAO” on the 21st floor which is the top floor. At the poolside bar, you can enjoy the night view while enjoying alcoholic beverages such as cocktails and beer, and snacks such as edamame and mini-grilled dumplings.
While drinking alcohol at the bar, I enjoy the night view of Kuala Lumpur, such as the illumination of the KL Tower and Twin Towers.

Facilities in the Hotel
There was an outdoor pool on the 21st floor which is the top floor. Originally, you can swim in the pool from 7 am to 9 pm, but it was closed due to the influence of Corona. The length of the pool was about 20m and it was clean.
I could go to the poolside and saw the KL Tower and Twin Towers between the infinity pool, and I could take nice pictures, so it seemed that many people came to take pictures with their phones. The poolside deck can also be seated, so it was used for photography purposes.
At the bar facing the pool, guests enjoyed eating and drinking. Music was playing and the atmosphere was very nice.
There was also a gym on the 21st floor. It was open 24 hours a day and could be accessed at any time with a room key. There were 6 treadmills and steps, as well as other machines such as bench presses and balance balls.

Hotel Surroundings
There are many other hotels and office buildings such as the Sheraton Hotel around the hotel. There are various restaurants for office workers, and there are various options such as Italian, Japanese, bar, and French, but many of them were a little overpriced. On the other hand, there are Malaysian and Indian restaurants, and I think you can eat delicious food at a reasonable price. There are several cafes, food stalls, and restaurants nearby that are open from the morning, so I think there are various breakfast options outside the hotel. From the monorail station, which is about a 5-minute walk away, if you take the monorail, you can reach Bukit Bintang, a major tourist destination in 3 stops. By taxi or Grab, you can reach famous huge malls such as KLCC and Pavilion in 5 to 10 minutes.
There is a convenience store next to the hotel. The refrigerator in the hotel room was empty, but you can buy drinks and food here.
There is a convenience store about 3 minutes on foot from the hotel. Although it is a small store, it has a better selection than the convenience store next to the hotel.
There is a place called The RAW where shops are lined up about 3 minutes on foot from the hotel. There are cafes, French, Japanese, and pizzerias that are open from the morning.

Staff and Guests
As it is a new hotel and it is a medium-sized hotel, all the staff were young and friendly and fresh rather than skilled. From the time I made a reservation on the reservation site, I certainly felt the attitude toward the service, such as the guidance that early check-in was possible for free.
Originally, I think it is a hotel with many business travelers and travelers from overseas. However, there are currently no business travelers or travelers due to immigration restrictions due to the influence of Corona. Currently, Malaysian residents who are staying for a change or people from Work From Hotel are guests. It was a hotel for adults rather than a family-friendly hotel, so I had the impression that there were many couples as a customer base.

Access
The hotel is about an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. In addition, there is a monorail station about 5 minutes away on foot. There are restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, etc. around the hotel, but it is dark at night when you enter one, and it is not recommended to walk alone at night. However, it is safe to walk outside during the day.
In front of the convenience store on the left side of the hotel, there is a rental scooter spot where you can register and use the app. It may be good to go around the city on this.
A 5-minute walk from the hotel is the “Quill City Mall,” which has a Starbucks, H & M and so on. You just have to cross a big road to get there.

Summary
The hotel is close to the Indian town (textile town), and although it is an area with many office buildings, there are several restaurants and cafes that are famous locally, so I was able to enjoy it with a fresh feeling. Since the hotel itself is a medium-sized hotel, all the staff had a friendly atmosphere, and after two nights, they seemed to remember our faces. It’s not a so-called luxury hotel, but it was very nice that the rooms and restaurant were new and clean. I had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel.
