Kuala Lumpur Merdeka Square Hotels

"Got a free upgrade for my stay and the room was big"

"The only advantage of this hotel is their location next to the KL Sentral MRT station, offering a direct 30 minutes express train to the airport. An average hotel in every aspect, the room is literally bare offering only essential."

"Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur was one of the most overrated hotel stays I’ve had in 26 years working in hospitality. The location and room view were excellent, but almost everything else fell short. I prepaid about AUD $250 for 5 days of breakfast and gave up after the first morning. At roughly AUD $50 a day, it was poor value, with very limited international options. Worse, I watched juice being mixed from powder in full view, yet staff tried to suggest it was “freshly squeezed.” When questioned, communication suddenly became difficult. My refund request was acknowledged, but I was told it will take another fortnight to be applied. The food and beverage offering overall was extremely weak. There were constant GrabFood deliveries morning and night, which says a lot for a so-called 5-star hotel. Even the overnight concierge staff had Domino’s delivered during my stay because it was cheaper and seemingly better than the hotel pizza. Service felt cold and indifferent. Our room water was never replaced. Simple requests felt like a burden. The pricing was absurd: around AUD $14 for a small Heineken and AUD $28 for a half pint in the “SkyBar.” The SkyBar itself was badly misrepresented — more like a humid indoor pool area full of noisy children than a luxury rooftop bar. This hotel trades on brand, view and location, but in my experience it does not deliver genuine hospitality."

"Staff amazing Buffet breakfast phenomenal Hotel and hotel views breathtaking Warm felt thanks to JoAnn at front desk, Jaysym and prakash for all being superb oh and i can’t forget the very welcoming general manager, he was always socialising with us. Will definitely be back!!!"

"Breakfast was amazing."

"In overall good, but some workers behaviour towards customers isn’t as we were expecting from a five star hotel."

"Staff"

"Room was clean & staff were friendly"

"I stayed at this hotel for 1 night and it was pleasant. The room was clean and well maintained, the staff were friendly and the location is central for tourist attractions. I recommend staying at this hotel. "
