We stayed here for 4 nights and paid EUR 28 per person per night for a standard room EXCLUDING breakfast. I advise you NOT to book breakfast at this hotel as there are a lot of eateries nearby the hotel. Moreover, there are a lot of 24 hours supermarkets in the neighbourhood and even one literally right next to the... More

We always fly to Kuala Lumpur and use the Federal Hotel as our stop over, this year was our 4th year at the Federal. It is old and is in need of upgrades but it adds to the feel. Rooms are clean and pretty spacious. Our flight on the way in was really early and we were able to check... More

I didnt stay in the hotel but visited this Irish pub a few time during my last 3 visits to KL. What appeals to me is the relaxed atmosphere, the food and most of all the staff are superb. Well done to all involved.

Ambience was very good and reception was very prompt. Location of this is in the heart of Bukit bintang. We booked a standard room. Room was clean ,washroom had no issues. Comfortable bed. Good value but room size needed to be a little bit more when compared to other standard rooms. Complimentary Toileteries were good.

We upgraded one level above the least expensive double. it is an older hotel, but in a very good area for shopping and observing ciity life. Our room was spacious with a... More

The rooms is small and breakfast without much choices. Amenities near Hotel is aplenty. Located near Biggest IT mall and Heart of Bukit Bintang, but traffic is very bad due to construction of MRT rail system. Walking Distance to Berjaya Times Square.

The room is small . Clean and presentable. Not much view as it is centre of city. Near all the foot massage parlors and shopping area. Walking distance to Chinatown and Times Square. Near many restaurants . It is a good hotel located centrally in Bukit Bintang

Positive: This is an older, well established, large hotel with a large number of amenities including a nice pool although surprisingly no fitness centre. It is in a great location on a busy street in the middle of the major shopping and dining area of Bukit Bintang. We were upgraded (on their initiative, perhaps because we were staying for six...
