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.”

Would consider for future visits for sure.

Hotel is exceptional. Staff attentive and friendly while being efficient. Cleanliness and smell in the foyer so welcoming.

Not near restaurants and the food on site is pricy when just wanting something small to eat. The buffet is amazing but price adds up especially when with friends or with alcohol.

Colonial charm a short taxi journey from downtown KL

We found the hotel, although large, had a nostalgic charm and colonial elegance, which was enhanced by live music in the Colonial Cafe. The range of options at breakfast was excellent and the staff were professional and attentive. Our room was comfortable and clean, but starting to show 'wear and tear'. Didn't really bother us, our own home needs some updating!

If we return to KL will probably try a hotel located more centrally next to the Petronas Towers, which is the location of most of the night life - restaurants and shopping etc. The wi-fi was not always reliable - kept dropping out. This did not bother us as we were on holiday. But it would have been different if I was on business and meeting online.

Very good

They have a variety for the breakfast, I like that they are cleaning the room twice some times .

The worst thing is that we are near the railway track, and we hear the sound .

Lovely hotel for a stay in KL

Very comfortable room, helpful and friendly staff, loved the colonial style of the older part of the hotel, breakfast and dinner buffets were good.

Bathroom with glass wall and curtain felt a bit odd.

Excellent quality hotel with great colonial charm. Breakfast was superb. Handy bus shuttle to KL Sentral train station.

It was good n calm as i enjoyed the service given by yur good staffs

The ambience

The smell that appeared in the bathroom which i believe from the water trap (septic tank) the smell is very strong that disturbs our stay in the room.esp in the morning.

A perfect getaway nestled in the heart of old KL. Come for the historic charm, stay for the excellent hospitality!

Loved how clean and spacious it was. I got an upgrade to the Premier Suit upon check-in, and I must say — the view from the room was spectacular.

Nothing.

Comfortable stay and good walk around the hotel.

The location is ideal for those who like visiting museums or are attracted to religions since the hotel itself has a long history and it is close to the National Museum, Masjid Negara, Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, Islamic Arts Museum, and so on. There are not many restaurants around the hotel but you can always grab it. The hotel has a shuttle bus to KL Sentral.

There is not enough space around the basin for my toiletries and makeup. Also, it's very easy to get the floor wet when taking a shower. It seems one-floor towel is not enough. Need to be cautious when stepping out of the shower.
