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.”

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)

Great hotel, very classy and elegant
I just love this hotel, very classy from the moment I walk in, enter the room and the whole experience here. It feels like I went back in time in history where your have some social gatherings. The colonial cafe brought a very unique vibe with good music and British old times. The room is spacious, comfy bed with a large bath tub and entertainment while you enjoy in bath. I love the whole experience here. You can have great view for the swimming pool on 4th floor
I would love to have the sauna and steam room in this hotel

Great stays overall
Casual ease
I had 2 separate stays last week. A 3 day and a 2 day stay. The second one wasn’t as good with a small maintenance problem of a blocked sink and WiFi that didn’t work even after I’d reported

Loved the environment such a beautiful hotel.
What I liked was the environment, the hotel is really beautiful. The ambience and surroundings are honestly impressive.
I honestly couldn’t believe it.. one can of Pepsi was RM15. That’s extremely expensive. And on top of that, the bathroom water was rusty at that time. I took a bath in the bathtub and my skin became itchy. Very disappointing for a hotel of this standard.

An exceptional stay with a comfortable room, delicious and varied breakfast, and attentive.
Our stay was exceptional! The room was comfortable, and the breakfast offered amazing variety. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, which my 92-year-old mother loved. The staff were attentive, polite, and made our experience very special.
Nothing.

Lovely colonial statement hotel centrally located
Beautiful old colonial hotel. Centrally located close to all attractions. Room was lovely and spacious.
Dinner didn’t start till 6pm. Breakfast didn’t start till 6:30am which meant we missed breakfast on our last morning due to getting a flight. An option to grab & go should ne something to offer. We did not like the sound of your breakfast to go.
