The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.”

Room was quite clean, although the cleaners missed that there were hairs left on the couch, but it's fine. Hotel was pleasantly nice, looking great given it's age. We decided to take a Grab occasionally and also the MRT (Museum Negara MRT) to our destinations which is quite convenient.
Pricey, but expected. A little jarring when the security rang the door and walked in with his shoes on just to put a drink in the mini bar. We can also smell people smoking from the bathroom area. There was a madman yelling in the other room too, which the concierge kindly assisted. You can also hear the road from the room. Soundproofing needs to be improved.

Comfy room and bed. Great breakfast buffet. Friendly front desk
Better train on your staff especially the one handling the contango buffet dinner registration. Lack of knowledge of knowledge and most importantly not friendly at all!

Beautiful heritage building, great service.
Beautiful historic building, loved afternoon tea in the lounge and listening to the live piano music. Breakfast was excellent, lots of variety. Service was excellent.
Location is a little far from the centre but it was easy to go in and out by taxi so this wasn’t really an issue.

Some of the services were very slow - checking out for example and information on facilities like where the spa is located and if I could purchase goods. Food is expensive.

Fabulous hotel Majestic.
Lovely staff, beautiful hotel. Great value. Not too far from KL Sentral station. Quieter location than the bustle and noise of downtown KL or Bukit Bintang, so a better night's sleep. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious. Bathroom was enormous with full size free standing bath and separate shower.
Your shower gel and shampoo don't smell very nice, sorry. Everything else was wonderful.

Good for a one night stay.
I like the spacious room, beverage variety, bathtub, big bed with 6 different pillows, and the in-room dining food is good.
heard that the breakfast is good but didn't manage to try it out.

Excellent all round
We had a lovely room with a view of the National Mosque and Petronas Towers (in the distance). The breakfast buffet was great. What made the stay memorable was the service at reception (Sakib and Hamun) when we arrived very tired after our flight. They were so friendly and helpful. The concierge sorted out a taxi for us to go to Penang the next day - they responded to messages efficiently and were waiting for us (by name) on departure. Excellent all round.

Majestic is wonderful
This is our second visit to this wonderful hotel. Everything about it is superb, from the top to the bottom. It is so good in fact when we were there the king arrived to celebrate his daughters wedding. No better recommendation than that for sure.

Room incredible, comfy bed and loved the bathtub although the water drained slowly whilst in it. Nice pool at the front and could have a drink and enjoy it. Loved the buffet night and breakfast-excellent.
Afternoon tea was lovely but they don't allow children to sit in the comfy area like they used too and that's are favourite place to sit- we paid for the high tea but had to sit in the other area not the area with ambience.

Was good
Had unpleasant experience while checking in. As I was told my junior suite cannot have connecting room as per my request earlier-email reply received that my request has been submitted to the reservation team. Ended up paying additional RM468 for the upgrade deluxe suite. Overall others were ok
Only the above reason, I have stayed in Majestic few times before. I liked this hotel

A grand and memorable stay with beautiful spaces and great service.
The hotel lives up to its name—truly majestic. The design, service, and overall vibe made the stay feel special. We loved the classic charm and elegance.
Breakfast could’ve had more vegan-friendly options. It would’ve been great to see things like cold-pressed juices, fresh fruits, granola, or plant-based yogurt. Just a small detail, but it would’ve made mornings even better.

A perfect staycation!
A wonderful stay indeed! We got the corner room with a beautiful view, which was very spacious, comfortable & clean. Also got a free compulsory cake with a few balloons as we mentioned our stay for a birthday celebration. Varieties of delicious foods to choose from during breakfast! Overall, highly recommended to stay here! 👍🏻

The bathtub is big and clean, environment is good. Staffs are all friendly and ready to help. They even prepared a flower for us as our stay is mentioned for anniversary celebration!
Probably no as my stay is only 1 night and we arrived quite late If must have a bad one will be we can't find menu to order in room dining service.
