Kuala Lumpur Hotels with Kitchens

"As a travel lover, I hold a high standard for urban accommodations, and my recent stay at Riveria City Kuala Lumpur Sentral was a remarkably well-balanced experience. For those navigating the fast-paced pulse of Kuala Lumpur, this property offers a strategic advantage that few others can match. **The Vantage Point** Securing a unit on the 39th floor was the highlight of the experience. In a city defined by its dramatic skyline, this elevation transforms the room into a private gallery. As night falls, the sprawling city lights—highlighted by the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower—create a mesmerizing, cinematic backdrop. This expansive view provides a sense of openness and serenity, perfectly counteracting the intensity of the urban environment below. **Functional Sophistication** The room’s layout reflects a modern ”live-like-a-local” philosophy. The inclusion of a private kitchenette is a major benefit, offering the freedom to prepare light meals or enjoy local ingredients at one's own pace. Furthermore, the facility lineup—featuring a refreshing swimming pool, a rejuvenating sauna, and a well-equipped gym—forms the ”golden trio” of urban amenities. It is the perfect setup to shed the tropical heat and recharge after a day of exploration. **Unrivaled Connectivity** The hotel’s proximity to **Kuala Lumpur Sentral**, the city’s primary transit hub, is its most valuable asset. The seamless access to the KLIA Ekspres (airport train) and the extensive rail network (LRT, MRT, and Monorail) removes the logistical stress typically associated with city travel."

"Stunning Infinity Pool (Day & Night Views): This is easily the star attraction! The infinity pool is incredibly spacious and offers an unobstructed, direct view of the Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC), as captured beautifully in image.png and image_4.png. On the other side, you can swim while enjoying a close-up view of the KL Tower and Merdeka 118 standing tall against the skyline. The nighttime vibe by the pool is absolutely magical with the city lights."

"The condition of the apartment furniture was not as presented in the pictures. For example I had a cafe table as a bedside unit and a lamp with no plug. There were marks all over the units in the living room. The windows were not sound proffered so you could hear the traffic on the main road outside all night. The accommodation was on the 11th floor and there was no alternative offered for a higher floor. The pool glass could do with a clean and so could the windows of the apartment. I was offered a cleaning service after day 4 of my Stay of 7 nights. The bathroom was not very clean and the floor especially needed a deep clean, which may help to refuse the smell. There was a water filter attached to the kitchen sink but the reception staff could not advise when the filters were last changed so I used bottled water. No cleaning items provided other than washing up liquid and a sponge. So I assume the sponge is used for washing pancleaning work tops The positives were that the accommodation had a good gym compared to some I have used and plenty of shops for basic food and drink. Easy walking to twin towers and tourist area for shopping. Also close to the metro. The main concern for me was the constant reminder of being fined if there were stains on the sheets or damage to furniture. I was also asked to give my bank card details on a piece of paper which is not secure and would breach data protection laws in most countries. I had no choose but to provide the information. Fingers crossed my information is not stolen."

"The room was very clean and came with an induction cooker and microwave. It's a shame there were no utensils, only cups. If you plan on cooking or bringing takeout back, remember to bring your own cutlery."

"Our vacation was quite enjoyable, and the service was good, but we had to ask a lot of questions to get information, especially during check-in. So, the hotel needs to improve/update its information for guests so they don't get flustered like we did. 😅😅"

"The room and location are good; it's only a 5-10 minute walk to the Petronas Towers, there's a mini-supermarket right opposite the hotel, and plenty of dining options nearby. However, there's significant room for improvement in hotel management and front desk check-in procedures. I arrived at 3:10 PM. There were two people already checking in, and no one explained how many lines there were or who to queue behind; it was purely up to guests to figure it out. After waiting for half an hour, I was told my room wasn't ready yet. There was a sign on the front desk, specifically in Chinese, stating check-in was at 3 PM. I believe this sign not only restricts Chinese guests but also the hotel itself. I pointed to the sign and questioned why I couldn't check in past the designated time. I was then asked to step out of line and wait for 5 minutes before I could proceed. This hotel's process is very complicated; it takes a long time to check in each person. They then cut me in front of the next person waiting without explaining to the person behind me, which resulted in me getting a stern glare, as if I were being disorderly. I understand the other person's frustration because the front desk's efficiency is just too low. I've stayed in so many hotels in so many places, and I've never seen a check-in queue with two lines, each having 5-6 people. What's the reason for this? They rigidly stick to the 3 PM check-in time, so people from different flights all converge at that hour to check in. The front desk's efficiency is low, yet they insist on this 3 PM rule, almost as if they're being obstinate. I've stayed in other hotels in Malaysia, and they all offer flexible check-in times. When it was finally my turn, a different staff member handled my check-in, but there was no handover, so I had to resubmit all my details and confirmation. Again, where's the professionalism? It's an efficiency issue; the hotel clearly doesn't train its staff well. The same inefficiency extends to check-out. Of the four hotels I've stayed at in Malaysia, this is the only one that requires waiting for a room inspection before refunding the deposit. Imagine how long you'd have to wait for an inspection during peak check-out hours. Doesn't the hotel learn from or communicate with others in the industry? I even contacted the WeChat concierge to request trash disposal and bottled water, but no one came to clean the room from afternoon till evening. I had to go to the front desk in person to get drinking water. The service really doesn't keep up. The location is incredibly convenient for getting around by taxi without it being expensive, but the service is truly subpar. The hotel needs to modernize and learn from its competitors. Even hotels in smaller cities like Penang refund deposits instantly, and hotels in Langkawi are flexible with deposits, even accepting USD. This hotel, however, tests travelers' abilities by only accepting Malaysian Ringgit for deposits. They really need to broaden their perspective."

"Excellent location! It's about a 15-minute drive or a 30-minute walk to KLCC and other shopping malls. Plus, there's a LRT station nearby, making it easy to get to Pavilion and Lalaport malls. The price is reasonable, and while the room is a bit small, it's perfectly adequate. 👍🏻 Great for those on a budget. Downstairs, there's a 24/7 convenience store, along with some restaurants and cafes. There's also a Malay community nearby, and sometimes a night market within walking distance. The only downsides are that the area can get congested at times, so driving requires some patience and extra time. Also, the parking spaces can be a bit 'disorganized,' but it's very clean and safe overall."

"The loction is excellent with easy access to many eateries. It is located directly opposite KLCC. The agent that manages the room ”Crown Suites” is a great disappointment. Upon checking in they collected RM200 as deposit from me for the use of the parking space. FIrst they gave me an apartment with wifi access. After unpacking my stuff, I told them there was no wifi and they offered me anothe apartment. I had to pack my stuff and go to the new apartment. The guy who came to 'assist' me was abrasive. When I expressed my displeasure that I had to repack my stuff, he rudely raised his voice at me and asked me what do I want? His gesture was almost like starting a fight with me. Fearing that he might get violent, I kept quiet and just packed my stuff. When I was packing my stuff, he just sat on the sofa checking his handphone. My worst ordeal came when I checked out. Tthe night before, I told them I had to check out at 7.30am in the morning as I had a meeting at Melaka at 10.30am. They told me it was ok and asked me to park my car at the lobby. Someone would come to collect the key card and return the RM200 deposit. I called them from 7.30am to 8.10am and nobody picked up. As I was running late for my meeting, I had no choice but to drive off. At 8.30am, the staff finally returned my call, by which time I was already on the highway going to Melaka. They wanted me to return the key card in order for me to get back the deposit. After my meeting I had to go to a nearby post office to send the key cards back to them. I hope they will return my RM200 deposit but if they don't I am fine with it. This is just madness. And what is laughable is they still have he audacity to send me an email requesting that I give them a 10 star rating for my review. Trip.com should consider not working with this agent in the future."

"Stayed at Komune Living Bangsar and had a great experience. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with all the essential amenities provided. The location is convenient, making it easy to get around Kuala Lumpur. I especially liked the facilities, including the pool, gym, and co-working spaces. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, it’s a great option for both short and long stays, offering good value for money. Would definitely stay here again!"
