10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"This hotel is very good. Rooms are clean and nice and staff are pleasant and helpful. It is located very close to Indian restaurants and shops. One downside is the lack of an intercom. It is not possible to contact reception from the room. Another downside is that the AC in the lobby/reception is quite weak. Another issue in reception is that the staff sit under some very powerful lights which generate so much heat that it's impossible to stand next to the desk to talk to them. I can't imagine...

Top Kuala Lumpur Hotel Reviews

Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent
"I would like to thank Mary for her outstanding service. She was the one who helped us when we arrived early in the morning. She didn't hesitate to find rooms for our early check-in, knowing that we had traveled a long way and were exhausted. Even though we checked in early, she made sure everything matched our reservation and even gave us rooms with a beautiful view. The hotel's location is excellent—it's close to everything, including coffee shops, restaurants, and other attractions, all within walking distance. We also felt very safe walking around the area at night. I highly recommend this hotel, especially because of the exceptional customer service we received from Mary. She made our stay even more enjoyable."
