Though the lobby and room, etc of Hotel Equatorial looks a bit "old-fashioned" and basic, it offers me a pleasant stay. 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

Came here near Christmas and the lobby was handsomely decorated. Really helped put us in the cheery, festive (and more forgiving) mood. Registration was smooth and within 10 minutes my wife and I were in the room. It was very spacious, well-lit, and away from traffic noise although it was in the middle of town. For a hotel here, I...

The location is good to nearby the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Bintang. You will get many of shopping malls and entertainment around this area in walking distance. The deluxe room i get was spacious, but due to its hotel age, the room are old and feeling a bit down in color tune and lighting. Some sort of dusty feeling...... More

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur. I can't think of a single thing that I could complain about. It is close to everything and the staff are terrific. We booked it with a flight through Expedia and everything was perfect. One of the best beds in Asia. More

The hotel is situated in a very convenient location. It's very near to all major shopping malls in town. However, I think the hotel needs some refurbishing as some parts of the rooms look a little worn out. More

After evaluating other hotels review in KL, I decided to stay 3 nights at Equatorial. The hotel exterior looks tired but I heard that they will have a major make over next year. I arrived earlier around 1.30pm and the receptionist is kind enough to let me check-In as the room is ready. For those non-smokers like me, please request... More

4 point review: - conveniently located within walking distance of the pavilion mall and a number of other shopping and eating outlets. About 40 minutes from the airport -Check in took quite a long time and we did see fairly long queues whenever we passed the reception. Service levels are average on a whole - The rooms have been recently... More
