I booked a room at the Melia KL (or Sol Melia) and upon arrival, i realized my mistake. This hotel is rated as a 3-4 star and i guess that is by local standards. Because it certainly is not by European standards. It was a very old hotel (17 years old) and nothing seems to have been changed or refurbished. When we got to our room (which was 2 floors above a pumping and jamming club), we saw a roach crawling on the floor. It smelly really musty like old clothes and we requested another room. Well, they moved us 5 rooms down (...not a different floor, which may have helped...). The next morning, we proceed to the "free breakfast" that is provided. Oh my god! In all my life, i have never seen, smelled or eaten at such a disgusting place. Words can't describe the grossness of the breakfast. I feared that i would get sick and everything was swimming in oil. Needless to say, we checked out that morning and never looked back. That is until i came across more roaches in front of the hotel as i was getting into my cab. Yuck!!! I wish someone would have warned me. Try the Crowne Plaza or Istana Hotel--that's where i moved to...it is clean and ahhhhh!!!! Believe me, it's worth the extra $$ as the Melia KL isn't all that cheap to begin with.
