I was by myself and was expecting my booking didn't go through since it's not a group booking. But they welcoming me to my preferred appointment time anyway which I am grateful. the actors and staff were exceptional, really drawn into the story since you are one of the character in their story. The Hantu Hotel is a must experience when coming to KL.
