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.”

Traditional old colonial hotel with character
Took 24 hours to get someone from maintenance to look at a light in a slatted wardrobe that wouldn’t turn off. It illuminated the room on our first night making it difficult to sleep.

The majestic hotel lives up to its name!
Relaxing, friendly hotel and the staff all work really hard to keep the guests happy.
A lot of events in the ball room upstairs which were noisy and crowding out the hotel bars at certain times.

The best hotel ive been in
The staff were absolutely amazing and helpful. Even helped me extend my stay during an emergency despite being fully booked. They always think out of the box and are extremely considerate

We enjoyed the historic hotel and stayed in the colonial wing.
The Historic Majestic Hotel was old style grand, comfortable and well appointed. We stayed in the older colonial sector and chose the hotel specifically for its history.
The hotel dining room served buffet dinner which was not suitable if guests only wanted something quick and small. The only option was the Colonial dining room with a limited and expensive menu. The location of the hotel is isolated with very busy main roads surrounding it therefore nowhere to walk close by for casual meals, sightseeing or shopping. Due to its location guests must use taxis to get to places.

Colonial style hotel with a cozy atmosphere inside. The hall was decorated with stunning fresh flowers. Our room was very bright and large, with a large bathroom. Breakfast had a good selection of food, very tasty croissants. The hotel also has a swimming pool with a good view. We were very pleased with our stay at Majestic hotel!

Good comfortable hotel in a quiet part of Kuala Lumpur, good location.
Excellent breakfast. Clean rooms and sound proofing.
The painted wardrobes definitely very dated and need upgrading.

Delightful
Facilities, food, service, everything was exquisite.
I felt a little uncomfortable at how heavily the hotel's marketing leans into colonial nostalgia.

A place to return to again and again.
Very comfortable bed, great views, breakfast and dinner were both excellent. A great place to relax at the end of a holiday.
The location is a long distance from places to eat.

Perfect
All of the staff were extremely friendly and professional. The afternoon tea was great value for money and well staffed. The breakfast is extremely comprehensive with Eastern and western styles and gluten free options if you ask for them. The bed and bedding is of very high quality and the rooms are noise free. Great location away from the hustle and bustle and if you want to visit the botanical gardens. A nice relaxed atmosphere with some great views of the old architecture in the city. 100% would stay there again
Quite a large hotel and considering the quality of the staff we thought we would have been shown round which would have been handy to figure out where things were and how to get to places.

The hotel exterior and interior were aesthetics and high classes. The room was clean, bedding and pillows so comfy. Bathroom and bathtub large and clean. Dinner and breakfast buffet were excellent with a lot of varieties of food and dessert. All the staff were so nice and accommodating. They always greet you and attentive towards your need.
No oyster in dinner buffet which was a bit disappointing.

Very enjoyable - attentive and friendly hotel staff
Happy with all aspects of stay. We chose the location for its relative peacefulness, despite being a short drive to KLCC. Cocktails were world class!
Food was very expensive for what it was so we chose to eat out.

Distance to the garden mall and bangsar is near
The furniture a bit old and the floor outside of my bath room is soaking wet. Probably the water keep splashing out from the shower room

After a month, I decided to write this review. We stayed in your hotel from September 4 to 7. Accommodation, service and atmosphere were truly at an enviable level. We felt comfortable too. The problem arises later after payment. Namely, the amount on the account was not the same as the amount taken from my credit card. That difference in amount was not significant but still enough, so I sent an e-mail to your hotel and informed them about it. After several amended letters, I received a notification that the difference will be paid within 7 to 14 days to my account. That didn't happen. After that I informed your service again and politely informed them what it was about. I received a notification with a copy of the payment of a certain amount, along with an apology for the unpleasant situation, that the payment was then made. Two weeks have passed and I still haven't received any amount on my credit account. Two days ago I even called your hotel on the phone, explained what it was all about and shared my mood. Although I was told that I would be contacted again by email, this did not happen. I was hesitant to write about this in this way but it seems I had no choice. In the end, the amount itself is neither important nor significant. Feeling tricked, deceived, delayed and disrespected by the guest and the person is much worse. There remains a feeling of defeat and manipulation and disappointment, which is certainly not possible for a hotel of your category and reputation

Lovely experience!
One of the best breakfast buffet which I’ve ever experienced! Loved it! The hotel arranged balloons, birthday card and birthday cake in the room for my spouse during arrival with no extra cost since it was his birthday! I loved the excellent hospitality and service! Highly recommended!
No complaints, all was good!

The back of the coffee machine was dirty. There was food which had fallen of the table on the floor in the restaurant in the old wing. None of the waiters bothered to clean it up. It was chips which a child who previously occupied the table had dropped.
The waiter who cleared our table after lunch handled the crockery and cutlery roughly and didn't apologise after making loud noises with them.
