We only stayed for one night as we only had a quick stop over in KL but this hotel certainly ticks all the boxes. The Istana is a solid 4 star hotel. Situated in the heart of KL, the location is great, next to shops, monorail, restaurants and bars. Plenty of things for you to do during the day and... more

It's gorgeous, makes you... more
