10. The Estella Hotel Klang

Little India

"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

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"The best hotel I've ever stayed in!"

Aloft by Marriott Kuala Lumpur Sentral

10/10 Excellent

"Great facilities, clean rooms with interesting layout, friendly and helpful staff! I really appreciated that the staff helped with luggage (even up to the station when I needed to take the express for my flight). I also enjoyed the hotel’s closeness to the subway line for easier access to the city. The pool was a little small but I didn’t end up using it due to the smoke. The room was nice but I think what tips the scale is the friendly service. I would definitely stay here again :)"

Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"Arriving at the hotel on its own was a whole experience. The staff welcomes you and takes your luggage up to the reception area which is actually on the 38th floor I believe! This amazed me! You get perfect view of the Twin Towers with a full 360 glass view of the city if im not exaggerating. The check in process was quick which I loved as I was a bit tired on arrival. I chose a garden view and that was also amazing. The room was well maintained, clean and the bed well tucked which is a deal breaker for me. I took a hot shower and was able to lay on my bed with a view of sky scrape buildings views at night. In the day I had a beautiful view of the garden view below. The hotel is almost connected with just a walk over from hotel exit onto the entrance of the sky walk way to the Mall and KL building so I got to explore on my own with just about a 6-10 min walk across the Sky walk to the pavilion. The breakfast was a whole experience as well. It had several live stations with Indian and western breakfast options. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I traveled solo and I did not feel alone. It is especially convient of its location if you want to be able to explore as a solo traveler within walking reach. The staff also helped me with a tour to be able to see a few must see sights with a save driver. My only bad review is I messaged twice through expedia for hotel shuttle information and did not get a response compared to other hotels quick responses via expedia."

Sleeping Lion Suites

8/10 Good

"Parking is convenient as 3pm today till next day 3pm cost at flat rate RM10 upon inform front desk counter about your CarPlate number during check out. Room: aircon is cold enough, hot water bath is comfortable with consistent water temperature and water supply pressure. Room City view is good inside hotel room facing direction Negative: internal light design is not bright enough, dim lighting design. Infinity pool at level 37 good view to take pictures and swimming but KLCC is like 80% blocked in view. There are 5 lifts in lobby and peak hour wait time is long to have patience to wait for lift. Location is walking distance to nearby malls like Pavilion Elite & Pavilion mall but there is not covered shelter as far as I walked. Negative part is room sound proof is not that good as we can hear someone speaking in front of room door."

Furama Bukit Bintang

10/10 Excellent

"We booked an executive room for my dad and I. The exec lounge and breakfast option is fantastic. Our first room did not meet our needs or expectations- it had a strong mould smell and poor shower. Upon speaking to management we were moved to room 1610 which was fantastic. Our room was well looked after had all the amenities you would need and the daily breakfast was great. All the staff was super attentive and really tried to help us be comfortable throughout our stay. Pros- location is great- easy for grabs and easy access to Bukit Bintang main area without all the mess. Executive breakfast is great. Great overhead shower. Amazing attentive staff. Great internet. Cons- some rooms older and maybe due for updating soon. Tv channels are very limited and tiny baby tvs! We’ve been to Malaysia 22 times and this is going to be my new go to KL hotel. For the price point and location you won’t get better."

Four Points By Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly & will answer to every question.My room supposed to be connected to other room. but since the tv from other room didnt work.they give a room further & more spacious.swimming pool for kids are more spacious if not many people in it."
