Starus Hotel (4-Star)

Price: USD 50+
My rating: 8/10

I stayed in the Starus Hotel in late 2025 and loved the central location of the hotel and the amazing rates for staying at such a central location. I loved the free parking, well-managed deluxe rooms and amenities at the hotel with an outdoor pool overlooking Menara KL. I highly recommend this hotel for couples as well as families. 

As I walked out of the hotel, Changkat was full of life with many trendy bars and clubs playing live music. Wine Bar, Healy’s Mac and Loco are packed with tourists. I walked over to the foot reflexology enter to enjoy a 40-minute foot massage.  Staying at this hotel, you can enjoy the active nightlife of Bukit Bintang.
