I had an awesome time at this hotel! Wonderful people, wonderful food. I'm going back there next year. My room was super, the service was impeccable - breakfast delicious, room service prompt.

Great hotel!

After hearing so many dodgy review of this hotel I was sceptical and prepared for the worst but was extremely happy with our stay. The concierge was extremely helpful (the trick is to be friendly with them) we booked a tour with Manu who set us up with a driver of an extremely nice 4WD which took us around the city (for reference ask for Chandra {driver}). Breakfast was included and was nice but lacked bacon! The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The only thing i haveto say against the rooms were the air con was on full bore and quite cold. WARNING- Looking to relax we went down to the massage parlour on the ground floor, the labyrinth sprawl under ground and upon paying we were all sent to different rooms which were extremely seedy it seemed to be a massage/brothel as each person was asked if they wanted to take the experience further. If your looking for shops time square directly behind is advisable for night markets I would the China town night markets these were amazing including the food at hawker stalls. Do not leave KL without going to them. Location was great walking distance to everything and monorail station nearby. Extremely good hotel made an extremely good holiday

stuff without jobs

During a roundtrip in malaysia we stayed at federal hotel for 2 nigths. When we arrived a 5pm our room wasn´t ready. So we were told (in not the friendliest way) to wait for about 45minutes. After one hour we were tired of waiting and asked again. In this time the chambermaid only cleaned one 2-bed-room. We were told that if we want to have a doublebed (as we ordered in our reservation) we had to wait another hour. At around 7pm we went up to our room. It was terribly dirty! At our look around we could review everything our previous tenant had done... Furthermore the room was so tiny, that we couldn´t even turn around. The concierge came up because of our angry call. As answer to our question of the missing towels she told us, that towels aren´t included and that we should talk to the maid, because she is not allowed to come to the rooms?! So we went angry and tired to the reception. Astonishingly they had a free room! So we went up to 9th floor. The room was a bit bigger, not nicer, but nearly well cleaned. When we opened the courtain it was pitch dark outside. We had an extriemly nice view into a ventilation shaft. Accomodiationnoise and kitchensmell from 6.30am to 11.45pm and no sunray. Next day we had breakfast at 9am. There wasn´t any space in the really big dining-hall. We had a bid variety of meals but nothing looked amazingly. Our private highlight was the musty bread. So we left with emty stomach. During breakfast we asked the hotel-boy to take care of our luggage. He asked unfriendy for how long we are away, because taking care of luggage is not his job?! As a resume i can only say, that nobody seemed to know whats his work: a concierge, who can´t help a maid, who can´t clean up a boy, who can´t take care of luggage a cook, who can´t make a difference between fresh and old Luckily our sightseeingtour and the eveningevents in kuala lumpur were great. Otherwise it would have been the badest stay in history! PS.: On our flight home my boyfriend told me, that he saw a cockroach in the bathroom, when we left. So -never ever federal hotel again!
