We stayed prior to going to Langkawi for 12 nights in December 2004.

We had Mandarin oriental club rooms facing the towers.

Service was faultless, good value for money, rooms superb, breakast buffet and clubroom immense.

Views.....to die for

Sauna, steam room and pool, again superb

A great friendly and stunningly decorated hotel, well worth every penny.

Mandarin club floors are well worth the supplement for the club lounge and extra luxurious touches to the room.

We had very high expectations upon arrival at the MOKL, after reading all the outstanding reviews.
It is certainly is a good hotel, still nohere close to "the best we ever stayed at" that can be read in reviews.
The situation cannot be beat. All reviews are true about that one. You cannot imagine how close to the Petronas it stands.
It is a very big hotel, and when you step inside the lobby; there is a real frenzy, which is surprising. We were showed immediately to the Club Level reception, where we were instructed that a minimum dress code was expected in the Club Lounge, especially no children, which was fine with us. It turned out that the place was packed with people wearing shorts, swim suits, sandals or even slippers, which were supposed to be discouraged. there were children running everywhere. Nobody, not theirs parents nor the staff cared the least.
Club lounge is overall disappointing : seating capacity has been grossly underestimated, and at complimentary drinks time, it was difficult to sit.
Breakfast served there was a mess. Only a couple of toasters with a queue building up in front of them, dishes served cold, 25 minutes to get coffee, and I have got several like this. Staff seemed to be overwhelmed, and with no idea on how to deal with it.
I made that point clear on checking out, and I must admit there has been a great follow-up on this, with several letters and emails.
We tried out one of the restaurant, Biba's I think. The atmosphere was kind of fun, with an open kitchen, and good food very reasonnably priced.
Our Club City Room on the 29th floor was good. Nice atmosphere, good furniture, great bed. rather on the smaller side, especially the bathroom. It boasted an amazing view of the Petronas, with floor to ceiling windows.

This hotel deserves the 5-star it gets. It was a great hotel, directly next to the Petronas Towers (largest in the world) and ideal for the subway. Kuala lumpur is a nice place to stay and very clean. The hotel itself is really beautiful, clean and excellent value for money compared to Europe.
The restauarants are really good and great value for money.
Overall, I could not fault this hotel and I wonder how anyone could.

This is undoubtedly the best hotel we have ever stayed in the service and hotel are outstanding. We stayed in a club floor room and it is worth spending the little extra as you get free breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktails, and access to the club floor lounge. The hotel is in a great location next to the petronas towers and overlooking a large park. The hotel restuarants cover everything you could wish for and the pool and gym facilities are excellent. There is also a Thalago spa , hairdresser and nail technician. If you are in kuala lumpa and looking for luxury you need to stay here.!!!
