The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

No.5, Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Originally opened in 1932 and the pre-WWII KL equivalent of Raffles in Singapore, the impeccably restored Majestic is one of the city’s top luxury hotels. Whether you stay in the original building or the new attached tower block (where the majority of rooms are) you are guaranteed comfort and style. Other appealing features include an orchid-filled conservatory and two swimming pools.”

Telegraph review:

“The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur is one of those alluring establishments that captures the evocative spirit of travel. Built during Malaysia’s boom years before World War II, the hotel evokes a luxurious colonial atmosphere. Think high tea in an orchid conservatory and whisky in the Drawing Room.”

We will come back! 😃

Older style palatial hotel, very comfortable rooms with all the amenities. Fantastic food in the restaurants we tried.

I would’ve liked a casual bar where you could have a quiet drink and maybe some lighter meals or snack food.

I booked my room for 3:00 p.m., but when I arrived, the staff told me it was still being cleaned. I’ve been waiting for 30 minutes.

Good times but need improvement

The location is very strategic, but still maintain it’s uniqueness away from hustle bustle of the city. The room is very spacious. I love the bathtub inside with tv attached The two sinks are excellent!

The breakfast choices are quite mediocre for majestic’s standard. Some of the staffs during breakfast are not helpful.

Post Wedding Bliss

We checked into Majestic Hotel right after we registered our marriage for some well-deserved R&R. The staff were very warm, hospitable, and welcoming. The room is so beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The bathtub is what dreams are made of. The complimentary bath salts were an added bonus!

This hotel can be quite packed even though we stayed on weekdays as it is constantly used for business / work conferences and meetings. Their breakfast buffets are crowded in the mornings with a ton of businessmen.

We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the breakfast buffet spread!

I mentioned that our staycation here was to celebrate our anniversary. Then I was given a flower bouquet during check in and the room we stayed had the best KL view! Love it so much!

Nothing so far. All staff were super accommodating and friendly.

Had a wonderful stay during my 35th Wedding Anniversary.

Hotel decorated my room for my 35th Wedding Anniversary and gave me a surprise flower during check-in at a fee to be paid. Small things but matters a lot.

Remembered i asked for King size bed but was given 2 single beds - little bit frustrated.

Our second home....

It is our favorite hotel in Kuala Lumpur, we already have seven accommodation there. The rooms are spacious, well maintained, the food at the restaurant is very varied both at breakfast and dinner. I also recommend the afternoon tea, in a pleasant atmosphere with live piano. We will definitely come back for our next visits.

Everything is perfect. I book a junior suite for my honeymoon. The environment is very cozy and quiet privacy. Besides, its easier to order any outside food. All of the staff are very helpful in assisting us. The best thing is their buffet is on top. Very recommended, definitely gonna repeat!

loved how spacious the room was. super comfy bed, sofa and even the pillows. junior suite is worth! breakfast buffet was great with a nice mix of western and local food. plenty of food and delicious!

the stay was generally fine but i would suggest to replace the iron provided in the room. wire is torn out which can be concerning for guests. it would be good if hotel could improve this for safety reasons.

Everything are good from the time we checked in until we checked out. Tq to Su and Kaven the receptionist for attending our request with a smile. Also goes to the housekeeping staff as well as the bellboy. Everywhere we go at the hotel we were greated with a smile by all the staff.

Great Stay at Majestic KL

All the staff were incredibly courteous and welcoming. I’ve never experienced such warmth from hotel staff until we met Win at the reception. He was so kind and playful with my kids, and they truly enjoyed their stay because of him. Thank you, Win, for your wonderful hospitality. The breakfast and dinner selections were also fantastic and absolutely delicious. Keep up the great standards ans we’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful

Suits the name. Very majestic. Been to lots of hotel around KL but this hotel is special. Very premium room , very nice pool with view and the roof garden was a nice touch. The breakfast was wonderful. A lot of choices and they tasted great. Nasi lemak was delicious as it’s Malaysian’s favourite breakfast. Fast check in process and friendly staffs who always acknowledges you every time they pass by. Worth the money.

Paid parking. It’s costs you RM15 per entry which I feel like it’s a lot when you are already spending for staying in the hotel. One day multiple entry for RM15 will make a lot more sense. Or you can easily give a free parking as your guests are actually paying a nice price to stay in your hotel.

Above spoilt an otherwise a unique nostalgic experience especially the ‘charges’ for ‘standard’ hotel services. Otherwis

Love the Free Upgrade to a Suite in the old, colonial style building. Especially the vintage Claw-Leg bathtub!

Majestic Hotel seems too fixated on charging us for every conceivable, seemingly ‘petty’ reasons. RM 15 per entry for daily parking, extra charges if we request for more than their 2 daily coffee capsules, if we request early check-in or late check-out. Even request for any room decoration for our Anniversary staycation (3 star hotels provide for free!) Despite their Autograph Collection branding of impeccable service to their guests. Buffet dinner and breakfast variety not on par to their status above

Step Into A Forgotten World of Classical Beauty and Care

A delightful property, well appointed comfortable rooms, we had a junior suite, loved the bathtub! The pool is wonderful to swim in. There is an abundance of places to hang out and enjoy. Concierge and housekeeping were very attentive to our needs. The service is perfect - so see less you almost d not see they are there.

Nothing to do with the property, but the road noise, especially the extremely loud motor bike riders all night long until around 5:30am…. Nasty.

Enjoyable and memorable stay

Had a very enjoyable stay at The Majestic KL. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I really loved the old architecture and classic vibe of the hotel, yet it still feels modernized. A surprise birthday cake right after checkin truly made me happy and added a special touch. Breakfast was great, and overall the stay was very pleasant, definitely come back again.

The only downside was the limited in-room dining options, and the Wok Fried Rice was a bit underwhelming for the price. Hopefully, this can be improved in the future.
