Bad Choice

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 19, 2012
We had booked the Hotel Sentral Pudu hotel through the Sri Lankan Holidays (20-25th Sep 2012). We regret to inform that we were very unhappy with the hotel accommodation provided, we hardly found anything that was promised to us or that should be there in any 3 start hotel available at the Hotel Sentral pudu.

1. The Hotel fact sheet mentioned that, There a swimming pool, sauna, gym and Wi-Fi, available at the hotel. When inquired at the hotel reception non these were available and the reception staff could hardly speak good English.


2. The American breakfast, let’s not discuss that as this was not even close to this, and the restaurant was reluctant to take dinner orders. More amusingly got into an argument with the front office staff trying check on the half-board rate, she didn’t understand what half board is.


3. The room was very small for a triple deluxe room, and the central AC was giving us all sorts of trouble. In the middle of the night the temperature drops and one could hardly have a good night sleep in such low temperature. We had two kids with us you could imagine our plight.


4. The hotel didn’t even have a first aid box not to mention, few others points I discussed which I am reluctant to put to a mail.


Suggest you escalate this matter to your seniors and revert to us with a acceptable response.

Even though not situated in a place where things happen, i felt home and comfortable when i first saw the hotel. It was after a sleepless night in the plane and then having to pay 200 ringit for the transport. We were welcomed and was shown to clean, spacious rooms.
The staff is friendly, its just that they are not fluent in english.
Chef was friendly, helped me with my babies food.
Place is close to Berjaya times sqaure, with the imbi mono rail station in it. Sung gai wang shopping mall is also close by. Just walking distance. Taxi drivers cheat so be aware.
Brekfast was not that great. I enjoyed the porridge with the japanese anchovy, peanuts, etc, etc. Other than that it was hopeless, but edible.

I was at this hotel with a large group of friends. We stayed here 2 nights. Overall this is a 2-3 star level property which I really cannot complain for the price we got it.

Location - This is about 3km away from KLCC (city center). We had a long walk from city center to the hotel once. It's bit too far but possible. Time square is just 10 minute walk and you can take the Mono Rail from Time Square up to city center. Alternatively you can even take a taxi to the city which will be about 10Rm. You get grocery store right in front of the hotel so you got all you need there as a traveler.

Rooms - Very small and nothing great about. Clean room and everything was in order. There was a LCD TV and safe. Bathroom was small but was good with hot water, toiletries and hair dryer. You can call it a basic room. There was mini fridge but was empty.

Food - We had breakfast twice. Food was OK bu Not much of a selection. Even though the closing time for breakfast was 9.30 we continued till about 10 with no fuss from staff. That's what I liked about this hotel. No fuss.

Staff - They were friendly, whoever we interacted with. Did not have much communication with them but level of English was good with reception staff.

Also I noticed a Karaoke area but seemed to be pretty much empty.

To conclude, the hotel is worth for the price paid. Don't expect all luxuries here but decent enough for a stay. Nothing too bad to complain and nothing too good as well.

I think you can really get better value for your money elsewhere. The wifi did not work in the rooms and they suggested using it in the lobby, which is not very convenient. The pics on the website are great, but when you get up to your room floor, you realise just how much cleaner it could be.

Awful wi-fi, there is absolutely no possibility to connect from the room. Alternatively you are suggested to use the lobby. A crowded place where people are sleeping on sofas waiting to be given their room. There you can sit in the floor and use an intermittent wonky connection. So if wi-fi is a must avoid this a hotel.

The hotel's location is not bad. But be aware that it is not as close to imbi monorail station as it shows on booking.com's map.

I've seen many bad reviews on breakfast and complaints that there is not enough offer of western food, but the place is in Asia! Out of close to 35 tables there were only three with westerners this morning. Malay food is average, can't say that it is really bad. Bud do expect cold coffee and warm drinking water.
Place is clean.
Poor air conditioning control.
No possibility of eco-fiendrly use of towels.

Guess management is aware of this things because prize is a bit bellow it's equivalents.

The hotel is within a walking distance from two train stations which could be helpful considering heavy traffic in the city. The room we had was on the last floor and had nice view on the city (but without the Petronas towers). The room was acceptable with a kind of semi-transparent shower (which looks worse live than on the hotels photos). The breakfast was average but ok. Overall it’s a good choice within given price range.
