Kuala Lumpur Hotel Tips by stappm

I was staying at the Regent (Four Seasons) in KL - and when I went to the Hard Rock Cafe, located inside the Concorde Hotel, I stopped at the front desk for a look at a room. Well, I ended up moving to the Concorde from the Regent. The Concorde is new, clean, and much more reasonably priced. IU would describe the decor as modern contemporary - clean lines. Plus it is a more trendier- younger crowd, with tourists (like me).

I only viewed and stayed in the Premier Wing.

I would stay here again!!!

Unique Qualities: TV, Mini Bar, Iron and Ironing Board:) Fresh fruit. Hair Dryer, in-room internet access and desk. Changing area off a nice bathroom. Breakfast included over looking the pool. Fast laundry service! And the Premier Check-in was very welcoming, they served tea and cookies while I waited!

Well, to me the Regent/4 Seasons, should be exceptional, every need met, incredibly beautiful with impeccable service. I was not impressed. The room was showing signs of age, and in need of a deep cleaning (they must have scouring powder in MY.) The morning breakfast was ok and it was nice to receive a paper. But overall I felt the hotel was not worth the expense. In fact when I went to the Hard Rock Cafe across town for a bite, and saw the rooms at the Concorde, I went back to the Regent to immediately pack and moved (and I only had 1 more day.) The Spa at the regent was LACKING, however the gym was ok, but I am still not sure the masseuse knew what to do with a WOMAN client.

I was at the Regent for New Years, and the bummer part was there was NO where to go, sit, and get a bite to eat as a hotel guest and not have to pay a ransom for the privilege of sitting there on "New Years", regardless if you were celebrating there at midnight or not.

Anyway, I would not stay here again, the crowd was much older, business, etc. And I am a tourist whether on holiday or not, I want to meet interesting people and have conversation - the restaurant and lounges are isolating.

One redeeming quality is there is a pretty good shopping mall right across the street.

Unique Qualities: Nice Pool.
