The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

No.5, Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (show on map)

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.”

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 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.

The room is marvelous. the size, the cleanliness, the comfort all are good. Staff are friendly and helpful

I wish there have more fruits options for the breakfast. The location of the coffee machine and juice can be relocated to the middle so that customer dont have to walk till the entrance to get the drink

Everything was excellent except for the restaurants. Breakfast was OK but each evening the main restaurant was not available. The only option was the colonial café which wasn't up to the standard of the hotel. The staff on the front desk and the concierge were particularly helpful and the free navette to the station and mall was great

Beautiful and Comfortable Stay

Beautiful rooms with large bathrooms and very comfortable living spaces. The breakfast buffet was delicious and staff were very attentive. Good gym and pool - although the pool next to the spa is located very close to loud traffic.

We did see a cockroach in the dining area during the breakfast buffet. This was dealt with efficiently by staff. There are also very limited TV channels.
