Hotel Review - Sheraton, Kuala Lumpur

To be rated among the top 10 out of 250 hotels in K.L is not an easy task. Yet a global hospitality brand like Sheraton is expected to set the standard for other hotels and it sure doesn't disappoint.

The decore of the hotel is elegant and classy. As you enter the lobby area, it is not too large and there is just a small seating area on one side. A large staircase opens up into the banquet halls which hosts a lot of events and ceremonies.

The check in and check out are quick and smooth, and the staff, everyone from the people welcoming you into the hotel, the receptionists, concierge desk etc are very courteous and ever smiling.

Basic rooms are not very large, a little cramped if you ask me. The bathroom is more spacious in comparison and has a tub. Room has facilities like kettle, iron box, hair dryer, toiletries and minibar. The beds are comfortable and extra pillows are available in the room.
The views are largely good, overlooking the bustling heart of Malaysia.

One big turn off was the sound of running water and flush from the next room which could be heard in our room and woke us up at least a couple of times.

Location is pretty good as Jalan Sultan Ismail is centric in K.L. what's more, the monorail station of tuanku medan is barely 100 ft away.

The breakfast is another positive as they have a really large spread with extensive counters for fruits and juices, bakery products with a live counter for waffles, an oriental area distinctly marked out with red flooring and walls, some Mediterranean and also an Indian section. Good taste and quality of food surely.


The value for money proposition is good i'd say and better for SPG members. Their spa i've heard is one of the best, and they have 4-5 restaurants serving different cuisines like italian, chinese, continental etc.
The wi fi is paid and not free.

Overall it was a good stay and would surely recommend it to my fellow travellers. Good job again Sheraton.
