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

Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur

Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur

8/10 Good
"We added an extra night to our stay which was not communicated well to other staff, so we got locked out of our rooms with deactivated key cards, adding some hassle which was rectified easily enough. Having said that, we would return again. Breakfast buffet was fabulous, especially the various options, but nothing was refilled in a timely manner, even though requested. This was a little frustrating too, especially with limited time to finish our breakfast. Staff were excellent in clearing breakfast dishes, but the various stations sat empty for a longer time than acceptable for this level of hotel. Still a wonderful hotel to return to in the future, and excellent location!"
