"Overall stay was nice. But had to ask a number of times for more water. Also felt the hotel didn’t clean the rooms as often as other hotels."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur

8/10 Good
"The hotel was very good once we had got over the issue of not initially having enough beds, towels or other things for the 3 people on the booking. We were told this was because we had not filled in the correct forms on the website and they wanted to charge us extra but this charge was then waived. Although a little out of the centre of KL, there is a station 3 minutes walk away to get around and the underground system is extremely clean and efficient. Overall, an excellent base for a city break."
