I would like to give a very big thank you to the wonderful service team at Hotel Maya, especially Joy, Hannah, Krisbell, and Andrew. My fiancée and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Maya, and their service really made our experience even more special. From the moment we interacted with them, they were extremely friendly, attentive, professional, and always willing to help. They provided excellent customer service without making us feel uncomfortable or overly formal, which made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and their warm attitude throughout our stay. Every small interaction felt sincere, and they were always ready to assist whenever we needed anything. Their service definitely added a personal touch to what was already a beautiful and luxurious hotel experience. We were celebrating a very special occasion during our stay, and the team made the experience even more memorable for both of us.

Overall, it was a decent stay for our one night baby moon trip. We were able to check-in early than 3pm and the services are great from front desk and the room service. The only thing that needed improvement is the cleanliness - the room is clean but upon check in, there are few bits and pieces of plastic or probably little clean up leftover from the house keeping. Not a big deal but if this can be further improved, it can definitely make the stay more great. Other than that, the only thing I'm not very satisfied is the pillows were too soft that it’s affected my sleep and slightly hurt my neck and shoulder. We did request for additional pillows and they did provided us with extras. Hope the team can look into this and further improved as we really enjoyed our stay.

Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala Lumpur|0.88km from city center
I booked the Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre for F1 during the National Day holiday, knowing it would be late and hotel prices would be heavily inflated. I chose this Pullman after extensive research and comparing many reviews. However, right after booking, prices kept dropping due to the Indonesian haze… frustrating 😓. The hotel itself is an older upscale chain with a certain sense of history. The facilities are quite dated; the overall decor, air conditioning, hairdryer, and iron all show their age, but they are maintained relatively cleanly. Noise is a major issue: 1) There's a construction site right outside the hotel. 2) The door gaps are very wide, offering no sound insulation (and I was given a room near the elevator, so I could hear people checking in late every night). 3) The air conditioning unit is old and makes a clunking noise when operating. There are still some positives: The buffet breakfast offers a good variety and tastes decent, and there's plenty of seating, so you rarely have to queue. There's an outdoor pool and gym on the 10th floor, both well-maintained. The location is also quite good; Pavilion is just across the road, but note that you can't just walk straight across as there's no crosswalk. You have to walk about 300 meters to use the pedestrian bridge (the same bridge also leads directly to the Petronas Twin Towers). Overall, it's decent. Shopping and dining in the vicinity are well-covered. However, the value for money significantly drops during holidays. If you can get it for a few hundred during off-peak times, it would be excellent value, given its prime location.

The check-in experience was very good. Someone came to help push the luggage when I got of the bus. Although you can't check in early if you arrive early, you can also check in your luggage for free. During check-in, there are also staff to help deliver the luggage to the door of the room, and will also explain where to eat if you need a hotel buffet breakfast the next morning. The service is considerate! Check out is also very smooth and there is no need to wait! The security is also very good. There will be several guards downstairs! Needless to say, hygiene is very clean 👍 More than Rm300 per night ➕ Breakfast Such service and room quality are excellent 🥰 It would be better if we could occasionally have some preferential activities 🤩

The location is fantastic, but the traffic right outside is indeed quite heavy. The hotel is very welcoming to Chinese guests. When our credit card failed to process the deposit after multiple attempts, they waived it altogether. The staff greeted us warmly whenever we came and went, proactively asked for our license plate number and kept an eye out for our ride while we waited, and enthusiastically helped with our luggage. Rooms on higher floors are relatively quiet. The facilities are not overly outdated; while there are a few missed spots during cleaning, it is generally good. Housekeeping is prompt and includes turndown service. Overall, it's a great place. None of the messy issues mentioned in the negative reviews happened to us. Perhaps the hotel has improved since those reviews were written? Anyway, I had a very pleasant stay...

We booked this hotel based on the reviews but it was different from what we expected. We stayed there for a week and unfortunately, our initial room was right next to the elevator and had no windows. It was extremely noisy and we could hear everyone passing by in the hallway. Eventually, they moved us to another room which was a bit quieter. Cleanliness was just okay, not great. We had to ask housekeeping to change the bedsheets because they were stained, and the bathroom cleanliness was also average. Although the staff were friendly, they weren’t very professional in handling complaints. When we raised our concerns, the response was basically, 'It is what it is.'

1. The hotel service was very friendly. The Chinese guy with glasses was very welcoming, and the receptionist at the restaurant was lovely too. They even gave us complimentary bottled water before we checked out. 2. The hotel room was very clean, tidied and serviced daily, and they even folded the towels into swan shapes. 3. The only minor drawback was that the bathroom didn't have a separate wet and dry area, so a lot of water would splash out while taking a shower. 4. The hotel location is decent. Although it's not right in the city center, it's only a 10-minute taxi ride from the KLCC Petronas Twin Towers. However, there isn't much to explore within walking distance. 5. The breakfast was delicious; I'd recommend booking a room with breakfast included.

The front desk offers Chinese-speaking service, but if you don't ask, they'll assign you a room at the very end of the hallway—it's a long walk from the elevators, though it is quiet, so it depends on what you prefer. It seems none of the hotels in Kuala Lumpur provide bottled water; instead, the rooms have Halal direct-drinking water taps, but you can cross the street downstairs to buy bottled water with green caps from the convenience store. The hotel restaurant looks quite good, but I got back to the hotel too late every day to try it. The hairdryer is great and the bed is comfortable too; overall, I am very satisfied. It's only about a 10-minute walk from the Petronas Twin Towers back to the hotel.

Hotel Review Location: Excellent—just across the road from Kampung Baru food area, very convenient for foodies. Check-in: Allowed early check-in at 1:30 PM despite 3 PM standard time due to room availability. Much appreciated. Staff: Special mention to the staff member resembling celebrity singer Hafiz—excellent service, kept everything smooth and entertaining. Kudos. Room (1619): Connecting room arrangement was inconvenient; needed to prop the door open (1619,1620) TV in father's room not functioning (1618) Major issue: Strong sewage smell in bathroom—disturbing and needs immediate attention Toiletries: Initially not refilled—no lotion, body wash in my room; no shower gel or conditioner in dad's room. Staff replaced with hand-packed amenities. Appreciated the gesture. Food & Dining: Breakfast buffet: RM37.10—excellent value; surprisingly good nasi goreng (first time I enjoyed it) In-room dining: Nasi Goreng Tamu was good, but sambal prawn was too sweet Hotel breakfast preferred over outside options—area dominated by nasi padang, which isn't to our taste Overall: Okay stay. Responsive service on toiletries and excellent staff, but bathroom odor and room setup issues need fixing.

The room is spacious and clean. Perhaps our room is not facing the main road, we do get peaceful night rest (love it). As we booked the executive club, we were entitled to the club benefits, where we enjoyed ourselves every evening with great snacks and drinks, served by Audray. He is cheerful and attentive. He is always ready to clear the table in a timely manner, and make sure we get the help we need. In the morning, you can choose to have breakfast at level 3 cafe with a wider range of food choices, or you can choose to have a quiet breakfast in the lounge, served by White. Even though the food choice is lesser compared to the cafe, the food was yummy and sufficient. The swimming pool is small, enough if you just want a quick dip. I am not a gym person, but it is available. This hotel is connected to lalaport by bridge. Is convenient and easily accessible. BTW there is this massage opposite - Asia Oasis.

Despite a quick and efficient check-in, we were assigned our room. Upon arrival, there was a constant motor noise in the room, as well as extremely loud music and street noise. The music vibrations were so strong that we asked to change rooms. The second room was even worse in terms of noise—a constant air conditioning hum. When you put your head on the pillow, the noise and vibrations in our ears were even worse. We spent 3 horrible nights because of this noise. Elevator wait times can be long. Very helpful staff and nothing to fault regarding cleanliness. The location is top-notch.

Walking a bit further brings you to the Kuala Lumpur Station, from which you can also visit Batu Caves. The location of this hotel is simply unbeatable. Plus, there is a laundromat right in front where you can wash and dry your clothes for around 20 RM. The breakfast, though simple, offered a variety of local flavors, and I was glad I chose the breakfast-inclusive plan. There were a few ants, but it didn't bother me much.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. From our room, with the curtains open, we had a direct view of the Twin Towers. On good weather days, we could even walk to the Twin Towers through the park downstairs. If you want to avoid the sun and wind, you can take the long corridor on the G floor, then an elevator down to the C floor, and use the underground passage to reach KLCC. From KLCC, there's even an indoor skybridge connecting to Pavilion Mall! This whole experience was truly excellent! The hotel service is top-notch, whether it's the front desk or room service. The only minor drawback is the lack of Chinese-speaking staff, so you'll need English throughout your stay. However, the breakfast selection was quite ordinary, and some items weren't to my taste. Additionally, the bathroom design is rather impractical. The shower and bathtub share a single sliding glass door, which inevitably leads to a larger area of the floor getting wet when showering, making it a slipping hazard. Moreover, the showerhead is positioned quite low, making it a bit inconvenient to use.

It takes about an hour by SUV taxi from the airport, costing 94 MYR. I stayed here for 3 consecutive days. It's a well-established hotel located in the Bukit Bintang area, surrounded by many upscale hotels and shopping malls. While the hotel is a bit dated, the facilities and amenities are quite good, and the breakfast is also decent. The main advantage of staying here is the convenience for shopping—Pavilion, Fahrenheit88, Jalan Alor, and the iconic McDonald's photo spot are all within a 10-minute walk. On the second floor, there is a sky bridge connecting to the adjacent Marriott; you can walk through the Marriott main entrance, and Pavilion is right across the street. Walking to the Petronas Twin Towers takes about half an hour, and you can take the covered walkway starting near Pavilion all the way there. Overall, a decent stay.

Good accommodation for a short stay, it was clean but you can see wear and tear everywhere. Beautiful view from a swimming pool on the top floor but it was a bit harder to get there. They told us we can’t use the swimming pool because of the rain for our safety even if it wasn’t raining. But we were lucky to get there and it was very nice experience. The locality wasn’t so bad - 20 minutes walk to Petronas Towers. Very good value for money.

Convenient location and close to the main attractions, although the roads are very narrow if you’re driving. The parking information is misleading. The photos show automated/mechanical parking, but the hotel doesn’t actually have it. There are only a few free parking spaces in front of the hotel on a first-come, first-served basis. If they’re full, you’ll need to park at the open car park opposite for RM15 per entry. The room looked clean at first, but there was quite a bit of dust beside the bed, a pin on bedside (which could be a safety hazard), and some stains on the bedsheet. The bathroom was clean. Soundproofing is poor, and the hair dryer in my room wasn’t working (though I forgot to inform the staff). On the bright side, the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the stay.

Love the hotel and location! Rooms were clean and smells nice. Amenities were good and sufficient. Twin room is bigger than king room. One feedback is the hangers and drying rack could be open-aired instead of in cabinet for preventing it for being musky. Overall good experience and will be back!

This was my first time staying here, and I really liked the location. The staff at the counter were friendly too. There are a few convenience stores close by. For food, though, you have to walk a bit – either down to Chinatown or up to the Bukit Bintang area. There isn't much choice right around here, just one Chinese hotpot place on the left and a Chinese noodle shop on the right. Overall, I had a good stay and would definitely come back again.

Stayed here w/ my parents. Chose this hotel mainly for the location — close to Petaling St, Merdeka 118 is right opposite, & Merdeka MRT (Gate A) is literally ~1 min walk from the hotel bldg. Also convenient for TBS. If traffic is good, Grab can take ~15 mins, & during non-peak hrs it's around RM16/trip. I booked the Deluxe Triple Room. The room looked good in the display pics, but actual setup was different. The single bed had only 1 pillow vs 2 shown in the pic. The pillow was also quite flat/not puffy enough for proper neck support. Asked for an extra pillow but was told only 1 pillow is provided for the single bed & there were no spare pillows available that day. Was quite disappointed as the display pic felt misleading, & I don't understand why the triple room setup was different. Luckily my mum only needed 1 pillow, so she & my dad used the queen bed with 4 pillows & I took 1 from my mum. Room amenities: 2 hair dryers (1 in bathroom, 1 in room), safety box, smart TV, coffee sachets, shower cap, slippers, shower towel & floor mat. 2 rolls of toilet paper provided, but no tissue box & no hand towel. Toothpaste & bottled water provided. Water dispenser & ironing board available in the public area near the lifts. The hotel looks a bit dated & overall cleanliness could be better. Lighting is also quite dim, esp at night — not the bright ”wow” feeling you may get from the pics. Staff were all friendly. For Room 405, the hot/cold labels on the sink tap were swapped. The actual water direction was opposite to the labels. I pushed it towards the ”cold” side but got hot water instead & got a minor burn before realising the labels were wrong. Hotel should really fix this. Hot water pressure in the shower was strong, but there is no shower curtain, so water can splash onto the towel hanger & surrounding area. Some water may also splash outside the bathroom door due to the ventilation gap. Light sleepers pls take note: MRT trains can be heard till late night, depending on schedule. Also heard ppl talking in the corridor, knocking, & TV/music from neighbouring rooms. Bed was comfortable for me. Individual AC was a plus as I didn't get any unpleasant smoking smell from central AC. Only 1 access card was provided for the Deluxe Triple Room, which can be inconvenient if family members have different schedules. Also, no card is needed to access the hotel floors, so anyone can reach the floors — security access could be improved. Lobby restaurant serves some good food & tea. No free parking; overnight parking RM6/car. RM100 deposit collected at check-in & refunded at check-out. Grab pick-up/drop-off at lobby is allowed for 15 mins free. Can also use SJK(C) Davidson Hall or Merdeka Gate A as pick-up/drop-off points. Overall, stay was OK for a short trip, mainly bcos of the excellent location. Staff were friendly, bed was comfy & individual AC was good. However, my expectations were higher than the actual experience. Room setup vs display pic, cleanliness, dated condition, dim lighting, bathroom design, incorrect tap labels, noise & floor access are areas that could be improved. Good option if location & MRT access are your priorities, but manage your expectations.

I booked through a platform, and upon check-in, I was assigned to the lowest floor, the second floor. I immediately had an argument with the front desk. The hotel stated that to get a higher floor, I would have to pay an additional 100 RM per day. At the same time, a foreign guest was assigned to the 7th floor. I strongly disagreed, feeling this was discriminatory! Another supervisor, fearing it would affect subsequent guests, agreed to move me to the seventh floor. This severely impacted my first day in KL. The lobby even displayed a Trip.com review award, which doesn't align with the actual experience. The room faced the street, with a noisy plaza opposite, and there was no soundproofing glass. Pros: convenient transportation. As a four-star hotel, it doesn't meet the expected standards. Not recommended.

The room at Verdant Hill Hotel is comfortably spacious and well-proportioned, providing ample floor area to lay out a sejadah for solat without feeling cramped. The bathroom is generously sized and well-supplied with good, complete toiletries—including quality shampoo, body wash, dental kits, bathrobes, slippers, and a hairdryer. To make your stay as convenient as possible, the room also comes fully equipped with a hot kettle, complimentary coffee and tea-making facilities, and a dedicated iron and ironing board for quick garment touch-ups. The morning breakfast spread offers a hearty mix, featuring a daily rotation of fried mee or fried rice alongside soft, buttery croissants. The buffet also serves a delicious selection of warm comfort foods, including steamed dim sum, sweet bubur kacang, rich bubur pulut hitam, and fresh hot soya bean to start your day. Situated right on Changkat Raja Chulan in the Bukit Ceylon neighborhood, the hotel boasts an enviable location that puts you within a short walking distance of both Changkat Bukit Bintang and the vibrant Jalan Alor street food market. For added convenience, guests looking for extra pampering or late-night entertainment do not have to travel far, as the immediate surrounding area features on-site and nearby massage parlour options along with popular nightlife clubs around the hotel property. Its prime positioning balances high accessibility to major shopping hubs like Pavilion KL with a slightly set-back street that offers a relatively calm retreat amidst the city action.

Location is good. It’s about a 5-minute walk to Bukit Nanas Monorail. The room was great, and the washing machine and dryer were both functioning well. They also provided detergent, which was a nice touch. I stayed in the single room while my parents stayed in the master bedroom. Overall, everything was great except for a very long/non-stop “beeeeeeeep” sound, especially at night. For people who are sensitive to noise, this might be quite annoying, as it was for me. I’m not sure where the sound came from, but I could only hear it when I was in my room, not in the toilet. Maybe it was coming from the air conditioner. When I switched the aircond off or set the temperature around 23–24°C, the sound disappeared. However, when I set the aircond to the coldest temperature, the beeping sound came back.

TLDR: Ceylonz is a great hotel, but the provider (Five Senses) is not. Book a different provider if you want to stay at Ceylonz. (Trip.com does not let me post videos, refer to the pictures below) Initial room conditions: When we first entered the room we encountered these things: - Leftover jacket from the previous guest(?) - stains on the chairs - water stains on the wardrobe - dead ants in the wardrobe - a flickering light Service: Because we chose to stay for 7 nights, we had a 1 free make-up room offered to us which we appreciated. However when we flagged up the issues we found on the first day, they gave us a make-up room on the second day and consumed our free make-up room without our choice. We wanted to use it in the middle of the trip like the 4th day. Because of this we had no toilet paper, tissue box was empty, towels were not replaced. After the 2nd day, they no longer replied to our texts when we enquired about using the sports lounge, requesting a makeup room, getting more toilet paper. Very bad service. After their make-up room, they removed the jacket and cleaned the seat stains, but they did not fix the light or clean the dead ants in the wardrobe. We understand fixing a light might not be possible but the ants were easily removable and we did it ourselves after they left. It felt like they were cutting corners as they also did not replace our tissue box, clean the dead ants or clean the water stains on the wardrobe. Ceylonz: The hotel comes with - nice pool, - 2 gym rooms with great views, - a minimart at the ground floor, - amazing location, walking distance from Bukit Bintang's Pavilion Room: - the amenities provided are not the same for every room, the last time we came there was a water dispenser and pull-out kitchen, this time there isn't (same five senses at ceylonz, same room type) - spacious - tall ceiling - well equipped - bay window - the walls are relatively soundproof so you cannot hear other rooms but the door is not and the hallway is very audible from inside the room, we can hear people chatting, checking in, pulling luggages Bed: - not soft, hard bed with springs - pillows and blanket is okay - uncomfortable bed We would have given this place a glowing review if they: - Stuck to their 1 complimentary makeup room offered - service: replied to our enquiries at all after the 2nd day - better room cleanliness/make-up room diligence: cleaned the dead ants and the water stains on the wardrobe

The service at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur is truly second to none. Their genuine commitment to ensuring our comfort made us feel truly valued as guests. This is exactly the level of service one would expect from a world-class five-star hotel. The room itself is excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised when we returned from dinner to find that the room had been serviced again. Most hotels provide housekeeping only once during the day, but Four Seasons went the extra mile. They even thoughtfully placed bottled drinking water and glasses beside our bed, a small gesture that made a big difference. Their attention to detail and dedication to guest satisfaction are truly impressive.

Booking Shaw's Inn was definitely the best decision I made on this trip! It's located on the edge of Bukit Bintang. The hotel is probably a four-star, a little bit old but offers excellent value for money. The top floor has a swimming pool and a gym. You can even see half of the Twin Towers' night view from inside the hotel. There's a Starbucks right at the front desk, and the rooms come with a mini-fridge, welcome drinks, and a coffee machine. The breakfast was also fantastic; I booked a room with breakfast for two people for just over 400. Downstairs, there's a super delicious chicken rice place, and the durian stall (called Yes) across the street is incredibly tasty and cheap. Across the road is a 7-Eleven, but I highly recommend the local supermarket called KK instead – everything there is much cheaper than 7-Eleven, including food and drinks. So, it perfectly met all my basic needs. The main thing is, it's easy to get a taxi! Very convenient for getting around! The service attitude was also great. Highly recommended. They require a deposit upon check-in; we paid in RMB cash since we didn't have Malaysian Ringgit, and it was returned immediately upon check-out.

The room was quite spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable – very soft and large enough, which greatly helped with sleep. However, there were a few things that seemed inconsistent with a luxury hotel's decor and facilities. Firstly, the sink was quite shallow and small, causing water to splash out when washing my face. The toilet was a very basic model, lacking any smart features. The shower room's seal wasn't good, so water easily flowed out onto the floor during showers. Additionally, the soundproofing in the hotel room was poor; noises from the hallway easily carried into the room, and the roar of cars from the street was clearly audible.

Oh my goodness! We went straight to the hotel after landing in Kuala Lumpur. We arrived four hours before the 3 PM check-in time, but the hotel welcomed us in the lobby right away. The bellboy was so cute and strong, which really made us feel warm and welcomed upon our arrival. When we got to the 53rd floor, the front desk found two Chinese-speaking staff members to assist us, and they were even a supervisor and a subordinate! It was truly touching. They helped us store our luggage, showed us to the restrooms, and let us choose an aromatherapy scent while offering iced tea and snacks. The whole process was polite, thoughtful, and gentle. When we checked into our room in the afternoon, we couldn't have been happier. It had a bathtub, double sinks, a smart toilet, a king-sized bed, a large sofa, and a spacious shower. In the afternoon, someone even came to turn down the bed and light an aromatherapy diffuser. The breakfast was incredibly exquisite – a combination of buffet and à la carte! Absolutely delicious! The hotel's location is superb, connected to Pavilion via a skybridge, so we didn't have to worry about sun or rain when going in and out. It truly maximized our sense of happiness and relaxation during the trip! Most importantly, we had an unobstructed view of the Petronas Twin Towers and all of Kuala Lumpur. Jalan Alor was right behind Pavilion; it's such a prime location! I highly, highly recommend Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur!

They're quite old, so I can't really give them a star rating; they're just acceptable for a stay. Service gets four stars. Almost all the staff we encountered were smiling and greeted us, which was a big plus. We stayed during the National Day holiday and it coincided with the F1 race in Kuala Lumpur.

You can see the mosque's dome right outside the window (though on the 8th floor, you only get the view shown in the picture), and Independence Square is just across the street. However, this was the absolute worst hotel for Wi-Fi I encountered on my entire Southeast Asia trip. Later, Melo helped me connect to another Wi-Fi network, which was better for a while, but as he said, it was unstable and kept kicking me off. The only noteworthy service came from Melo; he was the most patient and actually responded to inquiries, unlike others at the front desk. There were some issues with the hardware facilities. Even though my building wasn't the hundred-year-old one, I still found the blankets in my room to be quite dirty. I had to wait a long time in the middle of the night for them to be replaced.

I wouldn't recommend staying here if you don't speak English. Communication was a nightmare, and the front desk staff weren't very clear. Basically, the language barrier combined with an unaccommodating front desk made everything difficult. The location isn't great either; you need a taxi to get anywhere, and walking takes about half an hour. The room itself was just okay. I was swayed by good reviews saying the front desk had friendly female staff and that early check-in was possible for a fee. But when I got there, it was all male staff at the front desk. I had to wait for a room immediately, and paying extra for early check-in wasn't even an option. I arrived in the early morning and couldn't check in until 1:30 PM. Also, I saw that breakfast was included when I booked, but when I asked, they said it would cost 17 MYR. For 230 a night, it's really not worth it. I might as well have stayed at a hostel in Chinatown or a hotel with a pool for better photo opportunities. I just wanted my own room, but it ended up being a lot of hassle, very tiring, and I didn't get good rest. I don't recommend it; it was quite a miserable stay.
