Sanitized Safely & Delightful Stay at 5 Star Hotel

Hotel room and bathroom was clean. Bathroom is spacious, with many amenities, which is good. Lavatory space is also clean and ideal. Love the vintage retro British doors to the bathroom. Like the idea of a mirror in the closet. Best feature of the hotel room was the bed. Have been to many hotels and the bed is one of the comfiest I have ever slept in. I usually don't get to sleep much on my first night (adjusting to a new space) but the bed and bedding was very comfortable. Carpets and furniture overall, may need to be upgraded soon, I believe, but they are still in working condition. Loved the moroccan and colonial palatial gardens at the courtyard. The lush greenery is very relaxing. Difficult to find green spaces in the city, so that was a great little treat and delightful nook for meditation. Food was surprisingly good. Had dinner at the main restaurant. Although, soup could have been a tad warmer, but it still tasted amazing nevertheless. Had supper in the room later. Club sandwich and milo was perfect to end the day. All staff presented themselves impeccably. All wore gloves during MCO and were properly sanitized and observed all SOP procedures. I felt a sense of safety, staying at this hotel, as I could smell the disinfectant and sanitized smell. It didn't bother me at all because I know I was staying at a place I could trust, that all proper measures were taken care of. I was given a courtesy call as soon as I stepped into my room, which made me felt welcomed.
Love this door hanger message. I feel it is important to let your guests know that much care has been taken to make their stay as comfortable and stress free as possible. Well done!
Dressing area was clean and amenities like hairdryer is readily available. Great job on the scan bar codes to replace hardcopy menus throughout the hotel. It's the little touches that count. Please keep up with and maintain these standards.
Cozy little corner and well placed, as I had a really nice view when I had breakfast in the morning. Being away from home, on a solo business travel means that we usually dine alone. So having a morning view with a morning sunrise actually helps.
The comfiest bed I have ever slept in! If it's not too much trouble, would appreciate if you could share with me the make of the mattress, and bedding. May want to replicate this at home.

とてもリーズナブルに、最高のホテルステイを楽しむことができました。マレーシアのホテルは五つ星といえども日本のように完璧に掃除されていることは少ないのですが、ここではバスタブに髪の毛が2-3本落ちていたぐらいで、日本人でもほぼ気にならない清潔さが保たれていました(嫌味ではありません)。 部屋の仕様で最も気に入ったのは、日本人向けの深さのあるバスタブです。バスタブ目当てでホテルに滞在することが多いのですが、こちらのホテルのバスタブは浅くて長いものが多く、日本人向けとは言えません。その点Istanaのバスタブは完全に日本人向けサイズで、心からゆっくりと癒されることができました。シャワーの水圧も強く、水回りに問題はありません。 さて、通常であれば日本人専用のチェックインカウンターや朝食会場が用意されているホテルとのことですが、COVID-19の影響から、現在は休止中とのことで残念。でも、豊富なルームサービスメニューの眺めているだけでも楽しい豊富すぎるお酒のリストなど、その他のサービスで十分満足できました。初めての宿泊で、この価格がいつも通りの価格なのか今だけの価格なのかわからないのですが、とても気に入ったので今週末もまた2泊することに決めました。COVID-19の影響で価格を抑えているとしたら、今のうちにいっぱい泊まって得をしたいと思います。

We stayed overnight after getting off the shuttle from the Mutiara Resort at Taman Negara as it was very convenient. The hotel was better than we thought it might be. Breakfast was very good with lots of choice. The staff were very helpful in printing boarding passes.

Outstanding Hotel

A return visit, we wouldn't stay anywhere else in KL. It is incredible value. The many staff are amazing and numerous. The breakfast is the most extensive I have ever seen. The complimentary food in the Club Lounge was much appreciated and the Afternoon Tea was outstanding value. It is quicker to use the KLExpres and then taxi from KL Sentral rather that the long taxi ride from the airport.

Heel goede service. Ons hele gezin is vegan en mijn dochter heeft daarnaast ook nog een gluten intolerantie. Wij hebben vooraf hierover met het hotel gemaild en zij hebben speciaal voor haar een vegan/glutenvrij ontbijt samen gesteld met glutenvrij brood, pancakes en wafels.
