"The three bedroom apartment was spacious, well furnished, with great views and had so much potential. Unfortunately, the furnishing was a bit gross. On checking in we also found dirty socks, used toothbrushes and half finished milk teas around the place. There were also cockroaches roaming the living room mattress, and we found stains on all the couches, the towels and the bed sheets. One towel was so old it was shedding, and had someone’s name engraved on it (likely a second hand towel from...

Top Kuala Lumpur Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good restaurants, just lacks a nice sports bar. "

Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"I travelled with my four year old daughter. I chose MO specifically because of how child friendly this hotel is. They arranged a stroller, a baby sitter, and kid friendly amenities before my arrival. The kids club at MO was also incredible. The food and their in room dining service was top quality, not to mention the room views. MO team made my stay extremely comfortable and my daughter actually became so sad when we had to check out. I recommend this to families with young children and also people traveling for work who can’t leave their little ones behind. Thank you MO!"

EQ Kuala Lumpur

10/10 Excellent

"Eq Hotel sets the standard for luxury accommodation. From the minute we arrived to our departure we were treated like royalty. Every request was accommodated. Mini bar and snacks were a lovely surprise. Breakfast buffet was out of this world. Special thank you to the bell boy at breakfast entry. He is so fun and happy He made me a coffee to take on my outing which was much appreciated. Only suggestion would be a seating area at the main entrance as I sat on the water feature by accident thinking it was a seat. For which I do apologise. Thank you for having us. "
