- “My personal advice would be to avoid JW Mariott, as its right in front of pavilion and that road is jammed 24/7. rooms were good but the traffic is a no go for me” 14
- “Second, if you decided to take a taxi, avoid peak hours such as morning 7:30am to 9:30am, and evening 5:00pm to 7:30pm. The traffic jam is a nightmare during these hours.” 30

- “Truly, Hilton KL deserves its reputation as a five-star hotel - the service is amazing, the rooms comfortable, facilites are top notch, and the overall stay always leaves me happy and slightly regretful at checkout.” 20
Bed & Sleep

- “I found the beddings immaculately set on the bed. Not a single wrinkle could be seen. In fact, the whole scene looked a bit like a promo picture that hotels publicize in booking websites. Yes, the sheets were that fine that it was almost a shame to sleep on the bed!” 27
- “As we arrived rather late at night, we soon passed out. The bed was very comfortable and easily accomodated our small family of three.” 32

- “What is perhaps most astounding is that for all these, Hilton Kuala Lumpur is priced very decently. A quick check for rates at a random weekend in August reveal prices of just US$100 inclusive of tax for an ordinary double room and slightly above US$230 for the Grand Executive Suite! This is certainly a good deal - even by Kuala Lumpur's standards.” 27
- “I stayed in North for 15 nights in August. Extremely satisfied with the quality/price ratio.” 7

- “The staff were friendly, the rooms clean and comfortable, and service was overall excellent. It wasn't just because the staff remembered my birthday - everywhere in the hotel, the staff greeted us and made everyone feel so at home.” 23
- “During our checkout, it was fairly easy. There is a Contactless Checkout box for you to just drop the key, and you're done!” 19
- “I stayed here many times. Really nice hotel with friendly staff. Their executive lounge cocktail dinner food was delicious. Has nice view too.” 8
- “The staff is attentive and helpful, always ready to assist with any requests or inquiries.” 26
- “The breakfast is good but just a little too crowded and the staff service can be more polished.” 25
- “The staff that is checking me in wasn't proficient! They didn't even know that I had back-to-back bookings even though I had emailed ahead and the fact that we had two rooms as well. Upon enquiring for a suite, the staff also lied that they are not available on the first night despite them still selling it.” 12
- “The lobby can get extremely busy during the check-in period. However, Hilton Honors member can do online check-in and select your room from a digital floor plan prior arrival.” 4

- “Toiletries were Crabtree & Evelyn branded. Previously, the DoubleTree chain were using the Crabtree & Evelyn Citron range and switched to Aroma Actives for a period of time. I still liked the Citron range by Crabtree but did not find the Aroma Actives range of toiletries nice. So it was nice to see Crabtree being the brand standard once again.” 22

A quick call to their service center revealed that they indeed had a charger for my antique phone. Within a few minutes, someone was sent to my room to collect my phone for charging.” 27
- “While it is not the newest hotel property in the city, the convenient location and good service throughout the property are some of its merits.” 10

- “The executive team is excellent and I am always addressed by name in the lounge. This is especially true for Halimah, the executive lounge manager.” 25
- “I had perhaps what was the quickest check-in experience ever at this property. After entering the hotel's doors, I was immediately greeted by the hotel's guest relations manager and whisked to my 19th floor room. The actual check-in procedure was done in-room, with the usual signatures and collection of deposit.” 27
- “staff - friendly and helpful. The staff at reception and exec lounge were so friendly and helpful.” 16

- “I stayed here many times. Really nice hotel with friendly staff.” 8

- “The staff was friendly and professional in all occasions. They really made my stay a great one.” 6
- “Hot drinks are much better at the lounge and you get more attentive service here.” 12
- “Hotel was very nice and staff were equally attentive.” 14

- “Stayed at traders hotel ~7 years ago. It was great. Just been renovated and looks to be very nice. Location was great, staff were great.” 14

- “Really nice hotel with friendly staff. Their executive lounge cocktail dinner food was delicious.” 8

- “The staff are very attentive with drinks orders and refills.” 25

- “Upon arrival, friendly staff took our luggage and welcomed us at the beautiful lobby.” 32
- “We found housekeeping wonderful- they'd usually blitz through the room by mid-afternoon and leave it clean as the day we checked in. Attention to detail was incredible.” 15
- “Certain aspects of the room can be refined and housekeeping is a mixed bag.” 25
- “When the food was served, I requested one Coca-Cola and two empty glasses from a waiter wearing glasses. He responded that this would be chargeable. Given that the order was clearly à la carte and not buffet service, this response was inappropriate and unnecessary.” 13
- “Considering the total amount paid and committed, the standard of service and treatment experienced was unacceptable.” 13
- “For a hotel of this size, the human element can sometimes feel diluted. At Hilton Kuala Lumpur, the opposite impression comes through. The team feels welcoming, friendly, and present - which is often what guests remember most after they leave.” 11

Only after the whole check in process when I queried about it, then she reluctantly mentioned the breakfast details to me.” 22
Food64 mentions
- “If there's one thing I'd complain about, it's probably the coffee. Not worth wasting your caffeine consumption on it.” 18
- “Only had the hotel breakfast buffet once but there was a great variety of foods available.” 14
- “he Executive Lounge, which has outstanding city views plus free breakfast and free cocktails.” 34
- “I was invited to the breakfast buffet in the Vacos's buffet restaurant. The selection included a lot of Asian and world-wide cusines. You can have a miso soup as well as an Indian breakfast curry, freshly prepared omelette or some Malay dishes. There was bread and fruit as well. I just loved the selection of items, which was even better than in the One Farrer Hotel in Singapore.” 6
- “For travellers spending only one night in Kuala Lumpur, this range of dining options is a major advantage. It means guests do not need to leave the hotel to enjoy a proper culinary experience, while those staying longer have enough variety to enjoy multiple meals across different settings.” 11
- “Despite having a huge selection of food, the quality is not high. It is certainly not worth paying for breakfast in my opinion if it is not included.” 12
- “The lounge has great views, cocktail hour and a much small modified breakfast available in the lounge with cook-to-order eggs prepared from a kitchen.” 22
- “ashkarck27 • 9mo ago we recently booked park royal collection and it's good. We booked the urban king room and it's nice. The breakfast buffet also is ok” 14
- “The hotel's location within KL Sentral makes arrival, departure, and city movement exceptionally easy. Its dining options give guests a wide range of culinary choices without needing to leave the property.” 11
- “The all-day dining Vasco's Restaurant serves a selection of international and local dishes. I had my breakfast here. Great options to satisfy those breakfast-food cravings despite the crowd.” 4
- “I also dropped by the executive lounge during evening cocktails and found not only canapes but a decent selection of hot items. Actually, the buffet spread during cocktails was strong enough that it made for a decent alternative to having dinner outside if time was of the essence.” 27
- “The restaurant is very busy every morning and on certain days, I can't even find a table. The place is certainly understaffed.” 12
- “Food at the restaurant was also of good quality. Location is also excellent.” 22
- “The quality of the food is consistently high, and the service is impeccable.” 26
- “Graze, the restaurant on Level 5, has been several things since its inception, including a French restaurant and European steakhouse, but its current menu of homestyle Italian food is hard to beat.” 15
- “If you're craving Japanese cuisine, Iketeru is the place to go. This restaurant offers a wide range of sushi, sashimi, and other Japanese delicacies, prepared with the freshest ingredients and meticulous attention to detail.” 26
- “Breakfast is free for gold, can't compare with other full service brands but pretty okay and gets the job done.” 7
- “Haven't try the dinner buffet but the breakfast spread was impressive!” 4
- “I was down at 5.45pm and 80% of the tables were taken up. There is a nice selection of canapés and this can be a small dinner replacement. The hot food is delicious. On my first night, there were some stir-fried noodles, chicken and vegetables. All of them are delicious.” 25
- “Vasco's, the all-day dining restaurant next to the lobby where breakfast is served, had several live kitchens serving Malay, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Italian foods, including a custom omelette and live prata station. It's a good way to have a little of everything, and to satisfy even the most picky eaters.” 15
- “Food wise, there's not much variety but the quality is decent. My favourite item is actually the garlic bread - lightly toasted french baguette dipped in garlic butter, this was most savory item of the night.” 23
- “Breakfast is also served at the Executive Lounge. It is at the same time as the restaurant. It is a nice alternative to the chaotic and busy restaurant. The selection is much smaller but with better service and environment.” 25
- “Hilton Kuala Lumpur serves up a solid breakfast buffet. Apart from the usual American breakfast offerings, there was also a substantial Asian selection, including local breakfast choices of nasi lemak and roti canai, as well as Japanese and Indian fares.” 18
- “Good Morning from the Lounge We decided to go for the Executive Lounge's breakfast this time. We decided to go for the Executive Lounge's breakfast this time. While the variety is not super extensive, whatever that's served here was of a reasonably good presentation and quality.” 23
- “Hot dishes wise is quite lacking with only some sausages, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and fried wontons. It's rather underwhelming. The food quality is low.” 12
- “Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here at Hilton Kuala Lumpur. The service is good, room was clean and spacious, breakfast was delicious, love the pool area, the whole experience has been a positive one.” 19
- “perks as gold and diamond members - upgrades, fantastic exec lounge, fantastic breakfast.” 16
- “The breakfast spread is quite decent at Vasco's where the egg station is my favourite, with options like Otak-otak Omelette and Prawn Bisque Omelette.” 10
- “Breakfast at Makan Kitchen looks good but they only have decent Indian selections. The Chinese section is laughable.” 22
- “Daily Breakfast is offered in the Executive Lounge from 6am to 10.30am, till 11am on weekends and public holidays. I appreciate the extended hours.” 12
- “An excellent HH example is the Doubletree in Johor Bahru, a provincial town in Malaysia across the bridge from Singapore: in any one daily breakfast, I've had nasi lemak (Malay), congee plus chwee kueh (Chinese), and prata/roti canai (Indian); the Western stuff is often meh (especially if the establishment's halal) but who cares for eggs benny when the local Asian stuff tastes so great.” 8
- “The hot food change slightly from day to day. Food-wise, it is slightly underwhelming. The quality can certainly be improved.” 12
- “Intercontinental close behind but MO food is better for me.” 14
- “As a Hilton Gold member, breakfast is complimentary. This is probably the biggest perk of being a Hilton Gold or Diamond member - the buffet spreads are truly phenomenal and worth waking up for.” 20
- “The sandwiches were delicious and right sized so despite being full from lunch, I went back for seconds.” 18
- “The breakfast buffet is quite extensive. The restaurant is segregated into different kitchens and cuisine.” 12
- “ashkarck27 • 9mo ago we recently booked park royal collection and it's good. we recently booked park royal collection and it's good. We booked the urban king room and it's nice. The breakfast buffet also is ok” 14
- “Craving something different, I opted for the Japanese breakfast and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was...” 21
- “There were a few hot dishes - some protein - it could be meat or fish dishes depending on the day, and a fried rice. While not spectacular, it was good enough to enjoy as a meal.” 23
- “The Lounge Breakfast menu also comes with a made-to-order Egg station. It doesn't just come with the typical scrambled eggs or omelettes alone; there's also fancier poached eggs - Eggs Benedict (with ham), Eggs Florentine (with spinach) or Eggs Royale (with smoked salmon). Loved the Eggs Royale there (click to enlarge).” 23
- “The restaurant vibe is pretty lovely and the restaurant somewhat opens up to the pool area.” 12
- “Breakfast was okay but got repetitive. Gym is bare bones.” 7
- “I was rather suspicious of the scones at first, but they turned out tasting better than they looked.” 18
- “Although the wife and I had breakfast in the exec lounge every morning, until the chef said to us, 'Have you guys checked out the breakfast buffet downstairs?' We first kind of took it as an insult, like he was trying to get rid of us... until we actually went and had a look... good god. As far as breakfast food selection, it was 10,000 times better.” 3
- “While in any hotel it is often recommended to have breakfast at the all-day dining restaurant than at the lounge, I chose to have my breakfast here during the first day and found a curated selection of fresh and hot items on offer.” 27
- “d by the high ratings- we found the restaurants elegant but relaxed, and good for dining with kids.” 15
- “The Asian restaurants at Hilton Kuala Lumpur deserve a special mention: Chynna and Iketeru, the Japanese restaurant by the pool, are both calm in atmosphere and stunning in their presentation.” 15
- “The lounge has great views, cocktail hour and a much small modified breakfast available in the lounge with cook-to-order eggs prepared from a kitchen. Also agree they need to upgrade to much better coffee in the guest rooms.” 22
- “Oro Cafe is a perfect spot for coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. The cafe offers a relaxed atmosphere, making it a great place to catch up with friends or get some work done.” 26
- “Overall - breakfast was crowded, but truly satisfying. Be it friends, couples, families I highly recommend it - there will be SOMETHING for everyone.” 20
- “When I stayed at Conrad Centennial Singapore, it was kinda a "let down" for a Conrad and Asia standard. If I didn't see how big Hilton KL breakfast buffet is, I'd be happy with Singapore too.” 8
- “Breakfast was sooo satisfying. We lost track of how many rounds of food we went for, and all three of us were stuffed by the end of breakfast.” 32
- “The food offerings for afternoon tea and evening aperitifs are of good quality too.” 31
- “I've not stayed at Hilton kl before, but the rooms and beds definitely look super-comfy as expected ... And the restaurants and bars here always succeed in satisfying! :D” 13
- “Of all, my favorite was the cereal and yoghurt section where I found Greek yoghurt - a rarity in hotel breakfast buffets. This, coupled with the raw honey coming from the honeycomb, reeked not only of quality ingredients but also of wholesomeness.” 27
- “While technically 'tea time' is more of a snack time and less of a full meal, it's totally possible to get full on their multiple sandwiches, scones, and dessert. I loved the desserts, especially the coconut mousse with pineapple salsa It's sort of like panna cotta but with a twist of tropical flavour.” 23
- “Despite having been to Hilton Kuala Lumpur a number of times, I'm personally always impressed by the variety and quality of food served at Vasco's.” 32
- “The food was pretty good and I enjoyed most of the dishes. The stand-out items were their aglio olio and the risotto.” 12
- “If you're a steak lover, Chambers Bar & Grill is a must-visit. This restaurant specializes in premium cuts of meat, cooked to perfection and served with a variety of delicious sides.” 26
- “For a more casual dining experience, Vasco's offers a wide range of international and local dishes in a buffet-style setting. This restaurant is perfect for families or large groups, with something to please everyone.” 26
- “Service is quite slow and the food takes quite some time to be served! It is almost a good 45 mins before we got the food despite the restaurant being empty when we made our orders.” 12
- “If you want a good Indian food section, Vasco's does not disappoint.” 32
- “To be fair, the management is quite on the ball and constantly goes around every morning around the hotel and the restaurant.” 12
- “The breakfast spread at Vasco's restaurant is massive! Get's pretty crowded though.” 31
Room48 mentions
- “The room was large enough for two, and well-equipped with a desk or work area.” 20
- “The living room comes with a rather lovely view over the surrounding area where it is unblocked.” 12
- “The work desk is rather spacious and this can also act as the dining table if required. The place lacks power outlets within reach.” 12
- “Enter the room area which is spacious. I deliberately took a shot of the room above with my luggage sprawled open on the floor.” 24
- “The air conditioning is also kinda weak in the room. You can't go below 21 degrees and it gets warm during the day.” 25
- “Whether you opt for a standard room or a luxurious suite, you can expect a high level of cleanliness and attention to detail.” 26
- “Certain aspects of the room can be refined and housekeeping is a mixed bag.” 25
- “The rooms at the Hilton Kuala Lumpur are designed with both comfort and style in mind. Each room is tastefully decorated, featuring modern furnishings, plush bedding, and a soothing color palette.” 26
- “all right so this is the executive room on the 33rd level you can see you've got all the amenities that you could possibly need oh the bed looks so comfortable my goodness great desk for working” 17
- “all right so this is the executive room on the 33rd level you can see you've got all the amenities that you could possibly need oh the bed looks so comfortable my goodness” 17
- “Two complimentary bottles of water are provided and this is replenished during daily housekeeping and turndown service. It is disappointing not to find a proper coffee machine in the suite, one of the most premium rooms in the hotel.” 12
- “Yes. I have had several upgrades like to lake view and executive rooms. Even their standard deluxe room is spacious and nice.” 8
- “The room itself was rather large, having a proper work chair and desk as well as a daybed by the windows.” 22
- “The space was thoughtfully designed, and everything folded away into the corridors- an ironing closet with wall-mounted iron, walk-in closet, and other bits and bobs like the safe kept out of the way of little hands and feet.” 15
- “While the room was not a junior suite, it boasted of a very generously sized bedroom, as well as an equally generous bathroom.” 18
- “Even their standard deluxe room is spacious and nice. Today we checked out Hilton KL to Millennium Hilton Bangkok” 8
- “The television is mounted on the wall. I did feel that the TV is the smaller size for the room.” 25
- “The wardrobe is towards the side of the wall. It is behind the door connecting to the living room. This makes it kind of hard to access the wardrobe.” 12
- “My main gripe with the room is that there is no master switch to turn on or off all the lights, and I need to do it one by one for some of the switches.” 10
- “The only downside to the corner room is the fact that the room is not completely blacked out in the morning. The doors to the bathroom are a pair of translucent sliding doors facing the bed, and there are no curtains within the bathroom.” 18
- “I was warmly welcomed and thanked for being a Diamond member. The staff also offered a Junior Suite upgrade but I wanted a twin configuration room.” 25
- “My room at Hilton Kuala Lumpur was a Grand Executive Suite, an 86 square meter space that was all mine at least for 2 nights. It was a modern and well-appointed affair. I could best describe the interiors as contemporary, one that can withstand the test of time with its brown hues and lack of any garish elements.” 27
- “I was a little disappointed not to see a proper coffee machine in the room. I am sure a Nespresso coffee machine won't be too hard to ask for in one of your higher categories rooms.” 25
- “The room comes with a rather lovely view of the vicinity. The view is unblocked and you can see pretty far out.” 25
- “Peeling wallpapers in the room. Some maintenance works definitely needs to be carried out.” 22
- “The work desk is rather spacious and this can also act as the dining table if required.” 12
- “The Deluxe Suite was pretty lovely and measured a rather spacious 50 Sqm.” 12
- “It comes with a couch along the window which can seat about 3 people comfortably and alongside a coffee table. You can find a high-quality Smart TV mounted on the wall. It comes with plenty of local and cable TV channels.” 12
- “Stayed there before years ago. Room was clean but surrounding area can be quite rundown.” 7
- “The wifi connection is good and strong in the room but can be spotty in the common areas around the property.” 25
- “Wifi is strong in the suite and easy to connect to.” 12
- “The WiFi connection in the room was very good as well.” 6
- “The room was clean overall. We're impressed by Hilton's Clean Stay Program to ensure the hotel areas and rooms are clean and disinfected.” 19
- “It comes with a couch along the window which can seat about 3 people comfortably and alongside a coffee table. You can find a high-quality Smart TV mounted on the wall. It comes with plenty of local and cable TV channels. I do feel that the size is a little small for a suite of this size.” 12
- “Traders is great especially if you get a room with the twin towers view.” 3
- “The room itself was good. Bed was comfortable and the air conditioning was solid.” 22
- “Unfortunately, the room had very strong cigar odor, so spending another half an hour to get housekeeping to spray the rom with air refresher, nothing else they could do.” 22

- “The ambiance is serene and elegant, with traditional Japanese decor and stunning views of the city.” 26

- “I booked the King Deluxe room during one of Hilton's many HHonors member sales which made it very affordable to stay at this hotel.” 24
- “ashkarck27 • 9mo ago we recently booked park royal collection and it's good. we recently booked park royal collection and it's good. We booked the urban king room and it's nice.” 14
- “Housekeeping is also a mixed bag. When I first checked in to the room I found hairs on the pillow.” 25
- “The main space of the room itself is in a squarish configuration. I love the high ceilings here which makes the room much more spacious than it is.” 25
- “I love the carpeted floors and cosy hallways. On the way to our room” 32
- “I was offered a one-level upgrade to a corner room on the 34th floor (one below the top floor). Not bad for a 7-nights stay!” 31
- “Bed is super comfy, room is spacious and clean, and the shower has great water pressure.” 7
Value12 mentions
- “Yes, its cheap for a jw mariott name. But the traffic in front a total no go. Quite dated too. But i guess if your into the shopping and nightlife at BB, its a prime location” 14
- “Stayed almost a week at the Mandarin Oriental. It was quite cheap (worked about to about 150 a night with Amex credits).” 14
- “What is perhaps most astounding is that for all these, Hilton Kuala Lumpur is priced very decently. A quick check for rates at a random weekend in August reveal prices of just US$100 inclusive of tax for an ordinary double room and slightly above US$230 for the Grand Executive Suite! This is certainly a good deal - even by Kuala Lumpur's standards.” 27
- “The JW was horribly dated too. The only benefit was how cheap and central it was.” 14
- “I booked directly with Hilton for this stay and got the Deluxe Twin room for around 150 SGD including tax. It is slightly more expensive than expected given how late I booked the stay.” 25
- “I got free breakfast for Gold HH. But you'll get special price MYR 58 / USD 12.50 nett for the whole fantastic buffet from the reception.” 8
- “I stayed in North for 15 nights in August. Extremely satisfied with the quality/price ratio.” 7
- “If I didn't see how big Hilton KL breakfast buffet is, I'd be happy with Singapore too. I got free breakfast for Gold HH. But you'll get special price MYR 58 / USD 12.50 nett for the whole fantastic buffet from the reception.” 8
- “Breakfast is free for gold, can't compare with other full service brands but pretty okay and gets the job done. For the price I would say it's worth it.” 7
- “While it may be a bit pricier than other hotels in Kuala Lumpur, the overall value and quality make it a worthwhile investment.” 26
- “The minibar was located below the desk. Thankfully the fridge wasn't stocked with overpriced drinks and snacks. What took its place was 4 Coffee Creamers.” 22
- “For the price I would say it's worth it.” 7

- “All this was made even sweeter with the very, very, beautiful view of KL Sentral area at night.” 23
- “And then I'm going to show you the best part of this which is the Petronus Twin Tower view. And you can see that it's a beautiful view of Koalaur skyline which includes the Petronus twin tower.” On camera50:47
- “The hotel also overlooks the scenic Lake Gardens, adding a sense of calm and greenery to what is otherwise a highly urban, central setting.” 11
- “and then the view looking out towards the mountains here got a soccer field down there look at beautiful K from up above” On camera174:56
- “The large windows offer stunning views of Kuala Lumpur's skyline, adding to the overall appeal.” 26
- “The Executive Lounge on level 33 has a really nice panoramic view.” 31
- “From the bedroom, you have a good view of the surrounding area and the Kuala Lumpur skyline.” 12
Bathroom19 mentions
- “Room was clean but surrounding area can be quite rundown. There's no toolbrush in the bathroom and its chargeable if you request for it ( not sure if its a garden inn trait )” 7
- “Overall, the bathroom is still my favourite part of the room. Large, ergonomically designed, and beautiful - what more could one ask for?” 20
- “The bathroom comes with s separate bathtub and shower area. The layout was well thought-through and generally convenient - lots of drawers for storage, and a sliding mirrored door opens to a closet.” 23
- “A seat attached to the wall is another small detail in the shower the owners of this hotel did not forget. Something this simple has often times been left out in many luxury hotels.” 24
- “The wardrobe is specifically designed for the sides. You can access it from both the entrance as well as from the interior of the bathroom. I love the setup and it makes it quite convenient since you can grab your belongings from the bathroom directly.” 25
- “I love the standing shower. It comes with both a handheld shower head as well as a rainforest shower head. The water pressure and temperature control is excellent.” 25
- “The bathroom is also very spacious with a separate bathtub and standing shower zone, complete with Crabtree & Evelyn bath amenities.” 10
- “The bathroom area was impressively spacious, it comes with a bathtub, shower area, and a separate toilet.” 19
- “The bathroom had a generous bath tub, big enough for two people.” 18
- “Bed is super comfy, room is spacious and clean, and the shower has great water pressure.” 7
- “The bathtub was definitely the eyecatcher of the room, but there was also a separate shower.” 6
- “We were a little surprised with the bathroom amenities. Usually, the Hilton chain of hotels we've stayed in in both Singapore and Malaysia provide Crabtree and Evelyn brand bath products. Personally, this was the first time we saw the 'Classic' line. In some ways it was a pleasant alternative to Crabtree and Evenlyn - they did smell nice and fragrant in their own way.” 32
- “The bathroom is lovely and one of my favourite spots in the room. It's spacious.” 25
- “The bathroom contained a walk in shower equipped with a rain shower. Water pressure was good.” 22
- “The bathroom was quite impressive even when taken in isolation from the bedroom. Dominated in marble, it had a separate stall for showers and another one for the toilet, which by the way was the Japanese type with heated seats and bidet.” 27
- “The bathroom is unique, in my opinion. I like how the bathtub and separate shower are connected.” 24
- “Surprisingly for a full suite, there isn't a half bath here. A half bath can come up to be rather useful especially when you are in a suite and having guests over.” 12
- “The bathroom was even better. The bathtub was definitely the eyecatcher of the room, but there was also a separate shower.” 6
- “I am not a fan of the bathroom. It doesn't even come with a door which makes it so weird as the entire place gets so cold from the air conditioning when you are showering.” 12
Location28 mentions
- “The Hilton have a fantastic location and sits right at KL Sentral with a direct connection to both the station and a connecting mall.” 25

The city is well-known for its traffic jams, especially if you're staying in one of the hotels around the city center. The hotel's strategic location just next to the KL Sentral station, where fast trains from the airport stop, allows guests to avoid that hassle altogether.” 27
- “Recently stayed at the Four Seasons right off the Pasar Seni (Central Market) red-line metro exit. Perfect location for Jalan Petaling - half is under construction) - and all the yummy food in the area.” 14

- “I was in KL last month. I stayed at CITI HOTEL @ KL SENTRAL. It was affordable, clean, WiFi was great, is in a good neighbourhood (walking distance from Little India), and the best part was that it was very close to the KL Sentral Station.” 14

- “An excellent five star hotel, armed with a wide range of excellent facilities, dining options and an incredibly convenient location, the property is usually my first choice in the city and it takes a lot of consideration for me to stay anywhere else.” 18
- “Being located near KLCC as well as Jalan Bukit Bintang makes this hotel a decent property to stay at if you want to avoid the chaos that is in Bukit Bintang (read : insane gridlock traffic jams).” 22
- “The DoubleTree chain has always impressed me. This one had good rooms, breakfast and location.” 22
- “Located is pretty good and you are always just a couple of minutes away from locations in town. Grab is very reliable and cost-friendly.” 12
- “The tables are very close to one another and you will literally be bumping elbows with someone else's partner and listening to each other's conversation.” 31
- “Yes, its cheap for a jw mariott name. But the traffic in front a total no go. Quite dated too. But i guess if your into the shopping and nightlife at BB, its a prime location” 14
- “Located in KL Sentral, the location of Hilton Kuala Lumpur is one of the best reasons to stay here.” 10
Bed & Sleep9 mentions
- “As we arrived rather late at night, we soon passed out. The bed was very comfortable and easily accomodated our small family of three.” 32
- “In contrast to the one I had in the executive room, the mattress here is much better and firmer.” 12
- “We have booked the King Deluxe Room with Lake View, overseeing the Perdana botanical garden. It comes with a king-size bed, super comfortable, clean bedsheets, and soft fluffy pillows that made us sleep well throughout the night.” 19
- “The living area was spacious, featuring a nice workdesk and a cozy bed.” 6
- “The bedding and mattress are top-notch and high quality. I had a lovely rest here. I appreciated that the mattress was on the firmer side and provided good back support.” 25

- “I found the beddings immaculately set on the bed. Not a single wrinkle could be seen. In fact, the whole scene looked a bit like a promo picture that hotels publicize in booking websites. Yes, the sheets were that fine that it was almost a shame to sleep on the bed!” 27
Noise2 mentions
- “My personal advice would be to avoid JW Mariott, as its right in front of pavilion and that road is jammed 24/7. rooms were good but the traffic is a no go for me” 14
- “Second, if you decided to take a taxi, avoid peak hours such as morning 7:30am to 9:30am, and evening 5:00pm to 7:30pm. The traffic jam is a nightmare during these hours.” 30
