You won't be able to stay here for a few years as the 39-year old institution is being totally rebuilt but having had the privilege of staying for its last night, when it held a farewell party attended by friends from all over Asia, I have to say that it'll be worth your coming when it relaunches. The staff are... More

This hotel feels like it was a 4-star hotel maybe 10 years ago. Some parts of the hotel are still well maintained (the public areas) but the most important part which are the rooms are not! The wallpaper is peeling from the wall, the furniture is dated and some of them scratched, and the queen size bed feels more like... More

The hotel has a really nice location in the center of Kuala Lumpur; just few steps to the Petronas Towers and with monorail station next to the hotel. The staff at front desk were professional but not really friendly; rather very official. The room was O.K.: clean, quite big and with a nice bathroom, but not everything was fresh and... More

The staff are helpful as they can even advise where is the nearest supermarket and help book local tour, etc. The breakfast buffet is good with wide variety of food. The only thing that I wanna comment is the... More

I booked through booking.com and could only get a twin room. On arrival the hotel upgraded me to a double. The location is great -easy to get most places in KL. The staff are always so helpful and pleasant. A really good value for money stay. More
