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.”

A classy colonial style hotel with great staff and suites.
The staff were all amazing and nothing was too much trouble for them. They should be recognised for what they bring to this hotel. The hotel has two different wings with the original having very classic designed colonial style suites, the newer wing has very modern suites with amazing facilities. Breakfast was amazing with a good wide-ranging selection of options. The pool on the 04th floor was very good and never too busy. It could benefit from a bar service.
It was not a dislike but the property is located slightly further out from KLCC and not easy to walk from. With Grab available and very cheap this was not an issue. The second pool area, outside the spa area, was “closed for maintenance” as was the beauty spa itself. There was no evident maintenance being undertaken.

Highly recommend
Amazing lobby and staff. Wonderful pool and facilities. Scrumptious breakfast with wife stay off choices and they were able to cater to my son who is gluten free.
The location is a little removed from the life of the city, but it's an easy grab ride. The room service offering was subpar and didn't offer any starters or desserts.

It was OK for the price
Staff were attentive but I wish for more local staffs. Food was good. Very aesthetic for photography
Very few food options.Location wise isn't really strategic to find any convenience store in walking distance.

Evertyhings perfect, only one make me sad 😔
I usually celebrate birthdays or anniversaries at this hotel Melaka or Kuala and Lumpur, and will make a request before check-in. In the past, the hotel provided a nice special welcome such as a birthday cake slice. However, this time we checked in on my friend’s actual birthday, and there was no special welcoming arrangement. It was disappointing, especially since we drove nearly 5 hours from JB just to celebrate and suprise her. Overall, I still like this hotel, but hope they will be more attentive to special requests in the future.

Overall, the stay was fine. Prior to arrival, I was informed that my anniversary request would be remarked, so I was expecting a small gesture. Unfortunately, there was none during our stay. Hope this can be improved in the future

Still lovely after all these years
Staff very attentive, breakfast excellent, bedding and pillows best I've had in a very long time.
Room layout for most rooms somewhat unimaginative. There is clearly a need for an agreeable smoking area which is being ignored by management - why is that so difficult?

Great Stay.
Everything was great. Lovely place and vibes.
Paid parking. The fee is fine but still charge for a customer staying there? Nah, should've been better than this.

Nice colonial era hotel with old world charm.
Room was nice and spacious with facilities that worked well. Breakfast was a good spread and included some very tasty options. Location was nicely central. All-in-all, good value for money.
The hotel does not have good access to Kuala Lumpur Railway station. It is possible but not that convenient to cross the road due to lack of pedestrian crossings in some parts. We had lunch at the Colonial Cafe. It has a splendid interior and excellent service, but the food was mediocre. That was a bit disappointing.

Absolutely love this hotel and is worth the money spent! Will definitely come back for another stay!
The rooms were so spacious and comfortable, the bed and pillows were heavenly, and the bathroom was wonderful with the bathtub to soak in. Breakfast buffet was everything we expected and would definitely come back!
When trying to check in, the staff did not mention about an “upgrade” done for us, and then lead us to a room in the colonial suite in the old wing, which was extremely dark and gloomy, there was a strong smell of old furniture too. We did not like the vibe of the room at all, eventho it was a more expensive room. The view out of the windows were nets and rundown walls. We had to go back to the lobby and ask them for the room we booked, they mentioned it was not ready for check in at the moment and shortly afterwards then said the room is available. Finally was able to get the room we paid for.

It was okay.
The Conservatory and breakfast. The shower and bed are good too.
The old hairdryer. 1 dustbin in the room. Gym. Amenities packaging. Misleading and unclear communication from foreign staff.

It was okay.
Staffs were nice. Beds are really comfy and we had a good time at the Orchid Conservatory.
The room only had 1 dustbin. No tissue in the room, only available inside the toilet. The hairdryer is weak and old. The overall room looks old.

Ok but need to reduce the price a bit for me to stay again
The bath tub pretty big
The parking cost RM15 which really expensive since the hotel room consider already too pricey

Food selection was good. Gym facility was good.
Room was dusty, likely from the carpet. Check in process could have been smoother - I had to go down to reception twice because key card was not working. English is my primary language but I am unable to easily catch what the receptionist was trying to say (about parking rates)
