Nice Family Hotel

Pros: Friendly, homely, good breakfast and great staff in the Kontiki, nice to be welcomed and remembered.
Cons: Supply a wardrobe or drawers in the Merdeka rooms.
Location: Perfect situation to go shopping, eating and easy to travel and explore from this area.
Overall our stay was very good, very friendly staff but had to move rooms twice before we had a comfortable place for 13 nights. The first had the king bed up to the wall on one side and as we are 65 years plus didn't want to crawl into bed. The second room was so noisy from a disco till 2 am couldn't sleep but the lovely lady on reception found us a quiet corner and all was OK. The hotel is near to shops and transport, we used the hotel limo and it was excellent for our trips including Genting Highlands. Revolving restaurant offered excellent food but the service was poor and they had to go down to the veranda lounge to get drinks which was pretty slow, they used to have live entertainment which was gone, sadly. Th room lacked hanging space or drawers for our clothes so lived out of our suitcases. Having said this l would go back again (5 visits so far) as it feels like coming home.

Close to everything with great staff

Pros: Location,staff and cost
Cons: nothing really.
I have stayed here any times and have no reason to try any other hotel.For not just the price,but the staff are extremely helpful. The pool is a great attraction.always clean and relatively quiet most times. I need to move rooms during my 5 night stay as a very enthusiastic group of students arrived on my 3rd day staying in the rooms either side of us and the staff very kindly moved us to another room with our any hesitation,and even upgraded us. I would recommend the Federal to anyone wanting comfortable and affordable accomodation in KL.

Central spot, drab room

Pros: Its location was good if you're after the hustle of Bukit Bintang
I found the room quite clean but very cold and drab. It had been superficially renovated but showed signs of its age. The outlook was to a services shaft so was dark 24 hours a day. I believe this hotel has better rooms but this was a bit disappointing.

Okay hotel if watching your money

Had to move room during night due to loud music and singing ( sounded like next door) Staff gave us another room which was okay. Talking to porter who moved us he said mucic was terrible even weekend, my husband asked why people are put in this room, he laughed and didn't answer, so travellers be aware.
