Top Kuala Lumpur Hotel Reviews

Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"A+++++ / Excellent / Great Service / Super professional staff"

JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"Location: right in Bukit Bintang, opposite Pavillion, few steps from Lot 10. Connected to KLCC by a walkway, though took a good 10-15 mins to walk. Room: nice room and awesome bathroom. Love that bathtub and shower were enclosed and won’t wet the bathroom floor. The only criticism is flimsy thin useless pillows. Four of them equal the thickness of one pillow at Penang Marriot! That is a big let down. Gym: very nice and clean, good air conditioning. Amenities: comfortable bathrob and slippers. Nice shampoo etc. Extra point: awesome to find a Bible! Able to do our nightly reading on a hard cope instead of online."

Aloft by Marriott Kuala Lumpur Sentral

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing breakfast, helpful staff, very well located at KL Sentral station."

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in the club collection. Wonderful range of food in the afternoon. Breakfast quiet and relaxing. Pool out of action during our stay."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff were very helpful and always went out to do that little bit extra for you. The rooms were clean and tidy and regularly attended to."

Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"
