  • Another feature of the hotel that contributes to the luxurious and opulent vibe is the presence of mirrors and reflective surfaces. This is pretty evident with the main lobby's ceiling but you'll also notice this in the elevator hallway.

Food30 mentions · 10 filmed
  • on the upper ground floor is a Middle East restaurant that I find it's very interesting where the setting is so beautiful it's called tabush gome On camera119:01
  • The portions are so huge we almost wish we had shared a dish. Everything was delicious and fresh but this is definitely a place to visit when hungry and not after a big brunch! 18
  • Hotel Stripes - best onion rings, bed comfort could be improved, breakfast really needs improvement 10
  • Breakfast was okay, but not great, and it can get very busy during cocktail hour. On camera1514:24
  • The food selection looked fairly generous, especially during the evening service, and this is one of those lounges that can be very useful if you have access. On camera65:59
  • A part of me didn't like the vibe of the cafe. Like the lounge, it was gloomy and dark. It felt more like a food court than that of a five-star JW Marriott Hotel. On camera1515:20
  • The first day I went to the main restaurant, stood in line, was given a table, and when I returned with a plate of food someone had been given my table. It was crowded, busy, and average. 4
  • Top your day off at the hotel's well-regarded signature restaurant Shanghai - helmed by Shanghai-born Chef Wong Wing Yeuk - which has benefitted from a glamorous redesign and a brand new bar. 13
  • The lounge was peaceful but not nearly the number of food choices either during breakfast or during happy hour. 4
  • JW - comfortable, somewhat messed up check in, breakfast could be better, great location, great shower 10
  • Impeccable service and sensational food, with the resonant strains of a live jazz quartet, I could ask for nothing more! 18
  • Luk Yu Tea House unveils an exciting transformation that includes a reinvigorated menu to complement the stylish Chinoiserie-inspired interiors. 16
  • I feel like the food at the breakfast buffet and lounge are just mediocre, the food really differs from that of other hotels. 4
  • The breakfast buffet at the basement cafe gets a 7 out of 10. The food selections available was superb. They have a great mix for everyone from international to local selections, but also vegetarian options. On camera1515:04
  • on the next station they are limited pastries and braid section fruit juices are also limited here On camera1115:55
  • If you enjoy shopping, air-conditioned walkways, and having a lot of food and retail options close together, this is probably one of the most convenient parts of the city to stay in. On camera68:03
  • Evening Cocktail was served from 5.30pm to 7.30pm with a good variety of food, including a live cooking station and some hot dishes. 1
  • Shanghai Restaurant's modern Chinese splendour and indulgent Shanghainese cuisine evoke the place they are named after. 16
  • Agreed on breakfast at the lounge which is probably the most mediocre I've seen across my stays in Asia. 4
  • Agreed on breakfast at the lounge which is probably the most mediocre I've seen across my stays in Asia. Dinner is slightly better with more options. 4
  • Second Le Meridien. Breakfast is amazing and the lounge is as also great. 4
  • Dinner is slightly better with more options. 4
  • I was underwhelmed with breakfast. The first day I went to the main restaurant, stood in line, was given a table, and when I returned with a plate of food someone had been given my table. It was crowded, busy, and average. 4
  • Majestic - tasty breakfast, yummy evening snack benefit, unique historic design, comfortable room with character 10
  • maybe because this area is the lower ground floor of the shopping mall it doesn't gives me a very festar Hotel restaurant feeling in it to me it looks like a fot Court serving Hotel breakfast it has no daylight at all and feeling very dark I don't like the entire environment of this restaurant at all On camera1116:44
  • The pastries definitely need improvement. 1
  • the buffet was underwhelming it had all the basics but nothing was particularly great or memorable On camera179:30
  • And a good way to find it is it's right across from Lotteria. We ended up getting a room at the Grand Hyatt, and the breakfast is really good here. On camera61:15
  • Breakfast at the JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur offers several options; room service, a sumptuous breakfast buffet at Shook! or, when booking a club room, a quieter buffet and grill spread in the tranquil club lounge. We recommend the executive club experience, never-ending platters of fruit, fresh juices, a range of bread, cereals and cold cuts. 18
  • I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet... it wasn't the best by any means, but had everything I wanted, including a lot of local cuisines. 4
Value5 mentions · 1 filmed
  • Breakfast is amazing and the lounge is as also great. It's our favorite hotel now in KL, especially for the price point. 4
  • Despite my complaint, I still think this room is a good deal. At around 550MYR, it's more or less 200MYR cheaper than the most expensive room with a view. 3
  • The buffet offers a very good variety but overall food quality was okay for a hotel at this price point. 1
  • If money is not a constraint then I think you might be better off booking a more expensive room than the Superior Twin I got. Still, I wouldn't say that I regretted getting the room as it was genuinely comfortable. 3
  • If you have platinum elite status or book a room rate that includes the executive lounge, you have access to the lounge. Breakfast and cocktail hour here are one of the stronger parts of this stay. On camera612:15
Room25 mentions · 7 filmed
  • St Regis - very comfortable, large suite with nice bed and shower, tasty breakfast 10
  • The executive suite room gets a 10 out of 10. Luxuriously spacious, and the working study room was great to have. On camera1513:51
  • the room itself besides being on the small side was outfitted nicely and equipped with an espresso machine and glass bottled water On camera174:28
  • The suite has modern furnishing but is oddly-shaped, with a long walkway from the entrance to the living room and a strangely-positioned bathtub in the bathroom. There are also plenty of dim spots in the suite and little natural light. 1
  • here all the designs are very nice all the features all the fixture they use are quite a quality type here which I find they did a very good job on that so the room is very nice to me On camera1118:10
  • The room exudes quality minimalism in subtle shades of creams, taupes and browns, an expansive opportunity for relaxation with all modern conveniences provided. 18
  • The suite has modern furnishing but is oddly-shaped, with a long walkway from the entrance to the living room and a strangely-positioned bathtub in the bathroom. 1
  • Yeah but their presidential suite is hugge 4
  • The first place I looked into was the closet. Here I found a safety deposit box that was decently sized. 3
  • to me the room is very very nice maybe they actually upgrade the room for me to the junior suit so it's very comfortable On camera1117:27
  • I also liked the illumination in the room which is thanks to those lights you see below the mirror. 3
  • You can tell that's a smaller bed cuz only two pillows fit across. There's actually tons of closet space for a junior bedroom. So, quite impressive. On camera64:08
  • The closet was also where I found the complimentary slippers. These were pretty comfortable to wear and like with a lot of the complimentary gifts by the hotel, you are actually free to bring these home with you. 3
  • Majestic - tasty breakfast, yummy evening snack benefit, unique historic design, comfortable room with character 10
  • So I finally managed to get into my room and it was honestly homey while still giving off that luxurious vibe. The warm earthy tones and the neutral colors of the room made me feel like I was at home. 3
  • I do need to mention that this was my second room though my first room had an overwhelming perfume scent in the most literal sense it smelled like someone broke a bottle of perfume on the floor just moments before I entered On camera174:41
  • the overall room is spacious and looks good somehow I no complaint as I got a free upgrade for such a good suit here On camera117:59
  • Furthermore, the Executive Suite is a calm and comfortable suite with soft bedding, a separate living room, and a work area for a more pleasant stay. 16
  • On the other hand, the Club Executive Deluxe Room is well-designed and contemporary. 16
  • Much like the room, I feel like the closet wasn't that spacious. That said, this shouldn't really be a problem unless you're spending more than a week here. 3
  • Now if you want to work then there's a section of the room that has a small desk that should be perfect for your laptop and maybe a tablet or two. 3
  • Personally, I love the Four Points Chinatown. It is a fair room, but puts you right next to some of the best restaurants in the city. 4
  • Now the JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur website talks about the rooms in the hotel all having stunning views. That's simply not the case as you can see in the image above. There are rooms like the one that I'm in (it's a Superior Twin Guest Room) that only have these containers containing tropical ferns in them in lieu of a "stunning" view. 3
  • Below the shelf with the electric kettle is the room's refrigerator. I don't remember ever using this since I typically ate out. Still, it's great that the room has one as some people might want to enjoy their food inside rather than go out to eat. 3
  • I will say though that I would have wanted this mirror situated in another area of the room or even outside in the bedroom. It's probably just me but I really don't like seeing myself while I'm doing number two on the toilet. 3
Bed & Sleep8 mentions · 3 filmed
  • Westin - great location, lovely lounge, very comfortable bed, great management staff 10
  • the bait is really comfortable I sleep the whole entire night On camera1117:35
  • With space for both occupants to fully stretch out, high thread count cotton linens, and a luxurious mattress topper, one can literally float the night away, arising refreshed to enjoy another day of dining and delights. 18
  • The bed was very uncomfortable, by far the worst hotel bed I've ever encountered. 4
  • Hotel Stripes - best onion rings, bed comfort could be improved, breakfast really needs improvement 10
  • I love pillows and there are plenty here, it's pillow heaven, whether you want to prop up and read, or snuggle down and sleep, you'll be happy with the generous provisioning. 18

  • The mattress is great, though I find the pillows were too soft. On camera1514:00
Bathroom12 mentions · 4 filmed
  • Refreshed rooms and suites feature modern materials and polished chrome, while the generously sized bathrooms include a vanity counter, rainforest shower and a Japanese-inspired bathtub. 13
  • The shower head is a pretty interesting take on a waterfall shower just cuz I feel like most waterfall showers it's a square or a circle and it just falls down, but here there are actually two shower heads that are adjustable to where you want them to go. On camera611:16
  • In terms of length, the bath tub seemed quite small. If you're tall (or heck, even of average height) then you're going to have to tuck your feet in. Thankfully, the tub makes up for the short length by being a little deeper. I honestly didn't see this as an issue and my baths here were still very comfortable. 3
  • Yeah I forgot the bathtub problem, it's so small 4
  • the bathroom was nicely outfitted with a single Basin and aromatherapy Associates products which I did enjoy On camera176:17
  • JW - comfortable, somewhat messed up check in, breakfast could be better, great location, great shower 10
  • Much like the toiletries in the shower, the facial soap and body lotion pictured above are supplied by Aromatherapy Associates. I did end up using the pictured facial soap once and I thought it was okay. 3
  • actually that's a lie there was one thing that was very memorable the gray color of this griddled turkey ham having a bath in some yummy juices that'll stick with me for a while On camera179:41
  • the toilet is separated with a glass door at the side it's bright and clean On camera116:38
  • Thankfully, JW Marriott didn't skimp on the bathroom's amenities. The moment I stepped inside, I was again reminded of the luxury and opulence of the main lobby. 3
  • Fixtures like the toilet and sink also were squeaky clean and you could tell from a glance that they were more than well maintained. 3
  • Once you're done taking a bath, you can then proceed to the vanity mirror and pull out one of its drawers for a hair dryer/blower. This unfortunately isn't one of those fancy wireless models but it still does the job extremely well. It was a little loud for me personally but it might have just been that specific dryer/blower. 3
Service19 mentions · 3 filmed
  • I was super happy with their luggage storage service though. We are travelling through Ipoh and Penang right now and didn't want to carry out large suitcases in rental cars so we dropped them at Marriot before leaving KL. The process was so smooth and there was no charge. 4
  • We leave rested, rejuvenated and very well fed. It's almost a shock to re-enter city life after such a wonderfully discreet cossetting by the exceptional J W Marriot Kuala Lumpur team. 18
  • Le Meridien - fantastic service, amazing beds, 8 PM checkout, delicious breakfast 10
  • W - great bed, friendly staff, great views, breakfast could be improved 10
  • Sheraton Imperial - disfuncitonal service, poor AC, nice bed, decent breakfast 10
  • When you stay at the 738-room hotel that's been dubbed "The Happening Hotel," you can expect friendly and genuine service. 16
  • JW - comfortable, somewhat messed up check in, breakfast could be better, great location, great shower 10
  • promptly someone from housekeeping came upstairs walked into the room and told me that she couldn't smell anything and suggested that perhaps I was sensitive that this is how all of their room smelled On camera175:19
  • I called the front desk and this is where the irregularities in the service at the hotel began to show a little bit the front desk agent responded to me politely and said that she would inform housekeeping but then she also offered up that the hotel was very limited with the available rooms something that just came off as odd considering I wasn't even going in that direction On camera174:57
  • Westin - great location, lovely lounge, very comfortable bed, great management staff 10
  • the recession area is Big with many counters but not many are open therefore during check-in time they might be queue On camera114:18
  • I've stayed at the JW once. Outside of its location to the Pavilion, I wouldn't stay there again. Too crowded at the time and brisk staff. 4
  • Agreed with others in that it was crowded, but it was nice to be in the middle of everything - maybe that's what I was looking for in the trip. 4
  • My partner ended up with food poisoning our first day from an outside establishment but the lounge staff was very supportive when they learned about the illness and supplied us with bananas. 4
  • The whole check in process here was a relative breeze. After entering, I queued up to one of the check in counters in the lobby and was immediately entertained. 3
  • Impeccable service and sensational food, with the resonant strains of a live jazz quartet, I could ask for nothing more! 18
  • I went up to the executive lounge for the other breakfasts and it was quiet with good service, but there were few breakfast choices. 4
  • Too crowded at the time and brisk staff. 4
  • Meanwhile, they memorized my / my wife's name and greeted us by name pretty much every time we needed something. 4

  • so true about the St. Regis. Great hotel but the location only really makes sense if you need to be in that part of town. 4
  • Westin - great location, lovely lounge, very comfortable bed, great management staff 10
  • The biggest selling point here is definitely the location. The hotel sits right on Jalan Bukit Bintang, directly across from the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. So, if you want shopping, dining, and a very lively part of the city, this is a really easy base. On camera64:56
  • W is probably the best for location. 4
  • I liked W KL and st regis (even though I am not a fan of the location). 4
  • So location-wise, this area is very touristy, but at the same time very convenient. There is a lot of activity in the area within a 15minute radius. On camera156:48
  • The location is a 10 out of 10. KCC is within walking distance and with Pavilion Mall right in front, you have options for food and shopping. On camera1515:35
  • JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur is a decent hotel in a great location, if shopping is the reason why you visit Kuala Lumpur. 1
  • The location is great but that's all it really has going for it. 4
  • JW - comfortable, somewhat messed up check in, breakfast could be better, great location, great shower 10
  • Was debating between other hotels but decided to stay here due to the location which was the right choice as we got to enjoy good food at Pavilion and nearby almost every day without having too much trouble. 4
  • Location isn't as good as the JW but take a cab or use the public transport. 4
  • Overall, both hotels have a lot going for them and the biggest shared strength is definitely the location. You're right in one of the most convenient part of the cities for shopping, dining, and exploring the modern side of the city. On camera613:50

    Despite my complaint, I still think this room is a good deal. At around 550MYR, it's more or less 200MYR cheaper than the most expensive room with a view.

    Breakfast is amazing and the lounge is as also great. It's our favorite hotel now in KL, especially for the price point.
