Nonetheless, this did not detract from the overall comfort and cleanliness of the room.In conclusion, my stay at Hotel Royal Kuala Lumpur was an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Read more1 day stay from 11 to 12 Jun 2022. The man reception was very rude when I asked about the difference between 2 join twin size beds and a king size bed. All the while he looked down, not smiling and no eye contact. I felt that I was like taking to the air. He gave us a non sound proof room 805 (I guessed he was purposely). The indian lady beside him looked fierce too (zero contact). When we went to our room, we can hear people laughing and talking very loud next door as it was a joint room. There was a door divided both rooms. Because of that, we have to lower our voices too. Poor house keeping as there were no bath towels and the left shower door was jammed. There was a sheltered 1.2 m dark swimming pool and the water was freezing. Nobody swam there (kind of haunted). My son has caught a flu because of that. The whole floor has no light and not a single soul except 3 of us). The next morning, my son was down with fever and my hubby asked me to eat breakfast at the restaurant floor M and pack for them after I ate. First thing when I reached the restaurant, I asked a Filipino man (either waiter or manager) if I could take away breakfast and eat in the hotel room, he told me cannot as the food will be contaminated if I take away. What's his logic? I really don't understand, then what happen to food panda or grab delivery? I was left with a shock because I thought of my hubby and my sick son has no food. We have paid for the breakfast!! What kind of hotel service was that? Ended up we did not eat our paid breakfast and my hubby went out to pack McDonald's breakfast. Your staff should practise flexibility. Oh yes, one of the bath towel has stool on it (it was contaminated). Luckily I brought own towels. I was not sure whether was non sound proof or haunted, I heard a lady singing when near my hotel room's toilet at around 2.30 am in the morning when I went toilet. Only compliment is the malay uncle who took care of our bags after we checked out. He was smiling all the way, very approachable and left us a good impression. Very disappointed experience of choosing Hotel Royal. Will not come...
Read moreHotel Royal Kuala Lumpur was the venue that I had to go through the mandatory quarantine period for 2 weeks right after I came back from Europe. I didn’t know that I will get to stay here. Nevertheless the overall 2 weeks stay was very good. The basics were provided in the room, had a room at level 16 and the view was facing KL Tower.
The internet connection was excellent during the first week but the second week was really bad, I had to work so at certain point had to switch to my own smartphone data plan personal hotspot though the signal was very week and intermittently disconnected - 1 or 2 bars only. I had to literally put the smartphone near the glass window 😂 but it didn’t work well. I was unhappy.
I am an environmentalist so I divided all plastics, papers and organics separately. Everyday I received meals in plastic containers so I washed them after, for every single container.
For those who want to warm your food.
Boil some water Ensure the food container is securely closed/ sealed Pour the boiled hot water inside the white plastic bag (1/2 or 3/4 level of the food container to avoid the water overflows) Seal tightly the white plastic bag to allow the hot air to circulate Put the white plastic bag in the bathroom sink to stabilize the water movement Wait for 15-20 minutes for the food to be warmed The food should be warmed enough to eat (not as warm as we put in a microwave though)
I hope this alternative helps, it works well for me and my meal was never cold whenever I wanted to eat 😊
In a nutshell, the overall stay for 2 weeks was comfortable, cozy and sufficient - merely average. Below shows all the list of necessities being provided in the room I stayed:-
Linens Face tissues and toilet rolls Drinking water Coffee, tea, creamer, sweetener sachets Dishwashing liquid Laundry detergent Fork and spoon Cups Water glasses Basic amenity kits Minibar Electronic kettle Plastic bags for garbages
Enjoy the photos! 😂
Rest assured that the review is solely based on my...
