Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur

This is supposedly the first Shangri-La hotel in Asia, and its location is absolutely fantastic. It's just a few minutes' walk to KLCC, and getting a taxi anywhere else is super convenient. The lobby has a wonderful festive atmosphere. Breakfast was really busy, but the service was impeccable. Definitely worth staying here!

The location is superb, and it's a classic luxury hotel. Apart from the slightly dated room furniture, there's really nothing else to complain about.

This hotel is the epicenter of Kuala Lumpur, especially during Chinese New Year – it was absolutely divine! It's just a hundred meters from the Petronas Towers and close to Pavilion. The breakfast spread was incredibly lavish, and the place was bustling with people. For such a prime location and experience, the value for money is outstanding.

[Live seriously, review thoroughly] This hotel offers afternoon tea every day – fantastic! The fried croquettes were delicious!!! They also have cocktails from 5-7 PM! Though you can't take them to your room, you have to enjoy them in the restaurant. We paid an extra 500 MYR daily to upgrade to a suite. Our child loved the tent bed, it was a lot of fun! The room overall was very spacious, but the price was indeed high, over 2000 MYR a night... The premium during Chinese New Year was just insane.

Location: It's about a 10-minute walk to Pavilion. There are small restaurants across the street downstairs, but no convenience stores and no Twin Towers night view. However, taking a taxi to various attractions in the city isn't too far. Facilities: It's quite old, but well-maintained. The room is tiny, really minuscule; I couldn't even open my suitcase. I booked an executive room, but was told I couldn't access the executive lounge, which I don't understand why... Cleanliness: Decent, up to five-star hotel standards. Ambiance: The lobby is noisy and crowded, and the check-in queue was a bit chaotic. Breakfast: Not good, with very few options that cater to Chinese tastes. The variety is extremely limited, and the air conditioning is freezing! Service: Not many staff speak Chinese; it's pretty much standard five-star hotel service. Summary: The room is very small, hygiene is generally okay, breakfast isn't tasty, and there's no night view from the room. It's suitable for people who just need a place to sleep at night.
