The Federal was once a great hotel but has sadly slipped into mediocrity.Our stay was marred by bad service,bad food and dirty rooms.We had roaches in our room constantly and the bathroom had seen better days.A shame as the hotel is in quite a good location. There are much better places to stay in K.L.Pay a little extra and you... more

I have stayed only a night there but I will not recommend this hotel to anyone. 1 - High Price ( around 48 euros/night) 2-small room ( I paid for a double bed, they gave 2 ridiculous small beds) 3-not spacious 4-carpet dirty overall, lack of hygiene. more

Stayed for one night at this hotel as part of a tour package. Checked-in around 3pm but half of the rooms were not ready. Chambermaids were still getting the rooms ready when I went into my room. Had to wait in my friend's room for more than 30 mins before it was ready. Upon going into my room, I noticed... more

We stayed at the Federal for 2 nights before heading off to Bali for an 8 night holiday. After reading some of the reviews on TripAdvisor, I had my qualms about how this hotel would be, but we had no problems. We had two adjoining rooms, my daughters sharing a bed in one room, with my husband and I in... more

I stayed here 9 years ago and enjoyed the hotel then, and can honestly say the Federal is still as good. Our rooom, ovelooking the pool, is large enough for 2 adults. The bed is so huge, we get lost! The bathroom is clean, though like other reviews, the toilet leaves a lot to be desired. It doesnt flush like... more

Arrived after 13 hour flight to a small but adequate room in the Federal. Booked on the wrong e--site so no breakfast and no 1/2 day city tour as requested. You can walk to most places from the hotel and the revolving restuarant is nice but dated. Wanted to be pampered at our first hotel but staff always busy and... more

Great location for shopping and close to transport. Hotel old but clean and spacious. Our room was big (triple share) but the shower didnt work when we arrived. It was over 24 hours before they could get an outside plumber to fix it. Breakfast was nice, plentiful but not a huge range. Perfect place to go when staying in KL... more
