...review of a stay at Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel. I stayed there in the end of June 2008 and I was in KL on a business trip. I have been to KL before and I have experience from various hotels such as Traders, Ascott, Federal and Agora. We book a room through the company that we worked for in KL and we got confirmation that we had gotten rooms on the club level in the west wing. When we arrived late at night on June 21st I asked the cab driver ...
...days we called Traders and we were more than thrilled to hear that they had rooms vacant. So we checked out of Renaissance and into Traders…not only did we get a nice modern room, free internet, closer location to the Petronas twin tower…we also got it about 100 Ringgit cheaper. ... Read review

Advantages: The room, the lounge, the view from the hotel, the service
Disadvantages: Can't think of anything

I stayed at the Traders hotel in Kuala Lumpur from Sunday 22nd of September until Friday 28th of September. I had room 3106 (which is on the club floor - meaning executive floor) and I had a room with a city view. We arrived early in the morning and when you come into the reception if looks rather small. It turned out that this was just the concierge are and they guided us in a very polite way to the reception on the 5th floor. This is also rather ...
...and hence I have seen many of the sights so this time I could concentrate on working and just enjoying the hotel facilities. If you get a chance to stay at the Traders don't hesitate…it is way above average and one of the best hotels that I have stayed at. ... Read review

Advantages: Great for stop over when travelling to Australia
Disadvantages: Too far from KL for even a short trip

We stayed at this hotel for one night when travelling with Malaysian airlines from London to Sydney. The hotel lobby is very nice and the service like most hotels in the country is of the high standard. A golf kart will drive your family and luggage between the arrivals and hotel. Very handy when you want to catch a flight in the morning. The swimming pool and gym are well positioned, away and hidden from the airport traffic. However I would not ...
...center as it is just too far out. The taxi will cost approx £10 (UK Sterling) to the city and the journey take about 30 minutes. If you do take a taxi pay at the official desk in the arrivals desk. Other drivers will tell you that they have a limo, but this is usually a large car and not a limo. Beware there is usually a half hour wait for a taxi in the queue, which is managed very badly. ... Read review

Advantages: Location, the big flat, view from the pool area
Disadvantages: The unstable internet connection, breakfast

...Ascott. We came to the Ascott late at night and the lobby area is small but pretty nice. The check in was pretty fast and we got two key cards to be used for the elevators and the door to our room. We got room 1602 on the 16th floor and we were hoping to get a view to the Petronas Twin Towers but it seems like that is in another price category :-) When we got to the room we were very impressed. As we walked into the room we realized that this was ...
...a Spa. Location The Ascott is located near KLCC so it is an ideal location if you are going to be working there. It only took us 5-10 minutes to walk to Suria KLCC and that is enough when you walk in a standard office outfit in 26 degrees. It is also located close to the party street where you can find places like the Beach club and Rum jungle. If you need public transportation you can take the LRT from KLCC or the monorail from around Hard Rock ... Read review
