"It was a great 3 days staying at sentral Hotel. The location was really near to the KL sentral station (10 minutes walk) which the train can bring you directly to the airport and less than a minute walk (across the street) to the monorail station which can bring you anywhere you want to. There is ABC restaurant near the monorail station so you can have your food easily, pharmacy (if needed) maybe 100 meters away, and also a small store near the hotel to buy your needs. Our Taxi driver said that Hotel Sentral Area was Kuala lumpur Little India. The hotel was good although it has old air conditioner system. It has a very clean bathroom with amenities (except tooth brush and tooth paste)and also hot and cold water on their shower. their are also an electric water boiler with coffee, tea, and 2 bottles of water as a compliment every day. Also they have safety deposit box if you need to safe your stuffs. But most of all staying at this hotel for a low budget (like me) was a very pleasant day in Kuala Lumpur. The Hotel need RM 50 for deposit at your check-in and can be refunded when you check out. Thank you Sentral Hotel, Brickfield, KL Sentral "

"I have stayed Alila Bangsar for 2 times within 3 months. Best boutique design resort hotel in KL. Its better than all the hotels at KLCC and bukit bintang in terms of design but location wise is slight off KL city area but definitely worth the value to stay at Alila Bangsar. Gorgeous rooftop swimming pool and delicious breakfast at Entier. Nice open rooftop bar with beautiful view at KL Sentral, Mid Valley and bangsar. Service from the reception is not bad. some others area can be improve. Outstanding design by Neri & Hu once again"

"This was our second stay at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur and we will go back! The hotel is just across the pedestrian crossing from KL Sentral. We just got off the fast train from the airport and within 5 minutes we were being checked in. This hotel is an older property but this is not in evidence on the inside. We stayed in a Club Room which is amazing value for money as breakfast and drinks/dinner etc are included in the price. The Club is on Level 33 and the views, the service and the food are all 5*. The rooms are not huge but have an entrance hall which provides a cupboard and stands for luggage. The beds are super comfortable as are the linens and the towels. The bath products are beautiful and very generous. The higher rooms have amazing night and day views. Our room had a small outdoor area with 2 sun lounges. The pool is fantastic! It's on 8th floor and has full bar and food service. The amenities at the pool, in keeping with the rest of the hotel, are spotless. There is a huge mall just in KL Sentral and the Monorail is also accessed from there. We took the monorail to a few malls - fabulous shopping and it's right at your door. Check-in and check-out was very friendly and efficient. At check-out we said we were catching the fast train to the Airport. Immediately a porter put our luggage on a trolley and took us to the platform. I don't recall ever seeing this level of service! "

"I didn't expect it to be so nice for its price. very clean and had everything i need for a comfortable stay. Located just across NU Sentral where you can buy whatever you want (dept store and grocery), with a food court in level 3 with a lot of food choices at a very affordable price. Also nearby is Old Town White Coffee restaurant which we loved! NU Sentral is linked to KL sentral train station which brings you anywhere you want by train. The minus points are : - the person in the front desk wrongly advised us that the Petronas was open for July 15 (which was a holiday). So when we got there, we learned it was closed for July 15 and 16 which were the only days we were in KL. Had we known, we should have went the day we arrived on June 14. - the tv had CNN the first day, but it was no longer available the other days. Signal was also intermittent so we could not watch the world cup. All in all, we had a great stay. "

"We stayed 1 night to break up the trip and let the kids rest up before the next leg of our journey. The location is perfect being right next to KL Sentral station. Upon arrival, the staff were very friendly and helped us get to our room swiftly. The rooms are more suited for business travel, but we were very comfortable with 3 adults and 2 young children (under 3) in 2 adjoining rooms. The large bathrooms allowed us to easily get the kids washed and ready for bed without fuss. We ordered room service for dinner and it arrived quickly and the food was hot and tasty. The next morning, we had breakfast in the restaurant and it is one of the best selections of various foods I have had. All the food was tasty and left us wanting to try everything, however full tummies prevented us sampling every station. The staff could not have been more helpful for check out and helped us navigate back to KL Sentral with kids and luggage. The staff really made our stay special. "
