Top Kuala Lumpur Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur

"Fabulous hotel and fabulous staff, all going out of there way to make our stay super enjoyable- thank you Shangri La for a wonderful stay in your beautiful hotel."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, well maintained rooms and good food options."

Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels we’ve stayed in and highly recommended. We stayed in a Grand suite. The room was fantastic with amazing views over the Twin Towers. The Club Lounge was one of the best we’ve enjoyed, with great attentive service without being pretentious. The breakfast was immense with so many choices and daily rotations, again with amazing views. The location is fantastic within easy walking distance of KLCC park, Bukit Bintang and transport. The staff were all excellent, but a special mention to Jian in the lounge and then Mikail in the Pool House who truly went above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back!!"

Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were all very helpful and friendly despite the hotel being so busy."

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"We found it the ideal base for our stay in KL, very central. Lots to do out and about with great street food near by at Jalan Alor. Using the grab app for taxis was the best way to get about."

Aloft by Marriott Kuala Lumpur Sentral

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at Aloft before and have found the property to be very well located and convenient. The room was clean but as commented previously the property is a little aged and needs some upgrading especially the bathroom. We have no complaints about the staff. They were all very pleasant, helpful, cheerful, polite and friendly."
