The Westin Kuala Lumpur 2009.10.29
Recommended Trip type: All Others "Good location"

Reviewed by James of Hong Kong on Oct 29, 2009

The hotel is right in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, a short walk from the Petronas Towers. Staff are all very friendly and helpful; however, the rooms could do with a bit of improvement (eg the televisions are not flat screens, just old CRTs) and it's slightly annoying that although room service is very good, you can't get anything after 11pm.

The Westin Kuala Lumpur 2008.12.04
Recommended Trip type: Business "Very good hotel, but not perfect"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 4, 2008

I had an overall good stay at the Westin KL. The service was excellent and the room and hotel were both very good. It was in a fun location in the Golden triangle with easy access to shopping and dinning. It wasn't the most convenient for mass transit, as the closes option was the monorail, and transferring to most of the LRT lines was not as easy as it should be (and required different tickets). I did have a few complaints. The main one was the room I was in had a handicapped accessible bathroom. this bathroom had a number of design flaws that made it less then ideal to use. The next issue was with the lift service - 4 lifts for the guest floors was not enough. Multiple times i had unacceptable wait times. Two times over 5 minutes wait from my floor to get down. There might have been something wrong with a lift, I am not sure. Even so I feel there should be more then 4. Finally, I would have appreciated a more casual breakfast option then they offered for a quick breakfast before meetings. Apparently they can arrange this for you on request when you book. They did respond to my comment card with an email, which was nice. I would stay there again, but I would also check the Marriott and Ritz Carlton as they are all right by each other as well to find the best deal.

Reviewed by P of Northolt, Middlesex, UK on Mar 27, 2008

An excellent hotel set in the heart of KL across the road from a shopping mall which caters to everyone's tastes and wallets! The hotel is very clean and modern with excellent facilities, such as the gym, swimming pool and at least 4 places to eat. I'll definitely stay there again!

The Westin Kuala Lumpur 2009.07.17
Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Kvalar inte in som lyxhotell i KL"

Reviewed by R of Stockholm on Jul 17, 2009

Det känns som ett fd lyxhotell på väg utför. Lite halvskitiga heltäckningsmattor i korridorerna. Rummet var inte särskilt trevligt inrett. Tjock 4:3 TV. Inget som signalerade lyxighet. Bredband på rummet kostar. Då bodde vi ändå på Club-rum, som ska vara det finaste, näst sviter, på hela rummet. Bodde på Shangri-La i KL för 800 spänn mindre/natt och hade ett fantastiskt rum med betydligt bättre service.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "Himmelska sängar och oslagbar utsikt"

Reviewed by C of Trollhättan on Mar 31, 2009

Vi bokade detta för att vi gillar storstäder och ville bo lite lyxigt.Vi var bara här i 2 nätter men vi fick en smak av både hotellet och staden.Vårt rum var beläget på 30:e våningen med utsikt mot ett av Petronas Towers då de bygger/byggt ett nytt hotell en bit bort framför Westins så försvann det andra tornet. Rummet var jättebra med burspråksfönster från golv till tak och med en schäslong framför fönstret där man kunde ligga o läsa och ta en kopp kaffe och titta på skyskraporna o stan utanför.Stort badrum med separat toalett, dusch och badkar.Egen hörna med kaffe/the´vatten och vattenkokare.Morgonrockar o tofflor samt 2 härliga King Size sängar med olika kuddar och mjuka madrasser i flera lager samt mjuka lakan, ett himmelrike .Servicen kom o fyllde på det du behövde på em och tidningen fick vi i en liten kasse på dörren. Negativa med rummet är dessa dörrar in till grannens rum .Detta är väl ngt dom har om man bokar fler rum intill varann men de kunde ändå tänka på att isolera dessa lite bättre då det inte skall användas av samma sällskap.Restaurangerna i hotellet håller hög lyxig klass, även prismässigt men vill man inte gå utanför hotell kan man välja på allt möjligt.Utanför har man shopping av klass mitt över gatan och man kan promenera till det som ligger i närheten så även till Petrona towers. Detta är ju ett stort hotell o man kan känna sig lite anonym men det är skönt att få alla världar när man har semester.Dom var snabba med de vi ville ha ordnat .
