Banyan Tree Hotels in Kuala Lumpur

Was very excited when i booked this hotel, afterall it is Banyan Tree that we are talking about, and most importantly, it did not come cheap, so we thought the service would be exceptional. When we first arrived, the friendly porters helped us with our bags, as the front desk was up at the 53rd floor. The front desk guy who served us was very friendly as well. When we asked for a non-corner room, he told us it was not a corner room. But when we went up, it was a corner room. Upon entering the room, there was a very strong smell that lingered in the room and smelled like a room that was cleaned using a dirty mop. After calling the operator to inform about the situation, they did not come right away even after saying they would (this is my first encounter because usually other hotels have the practice of turning up right away when i called). We waited for a long time before we called again. But we had to wait again and decided to leave to inform the front desk of this situation before we went out for our activities. On the night itself, we requested for 2 extra pillows. The staff did not come even after 15-20 mins and so we had to call again and again (even though they said they would). The next morning, we had their breakfast. It was pleasant, but i would say the selections were not that widespread. However, the staff in the restarant were very proactive and friendly. Requested for late check out but the to 12.30pm. All in all, the waiting time for housekeeping was very slow. Sad to say, this hotel did not leave me a very good impression, and rather average, given the price we paid.

19/4 We reached there by 1pm was just thinking to check in and just stored our luggage while waiting our room to be ready because it is impossible that can get a room by 1pm . But after do a check in the front desk told us that our room is ready which is so impressed with the service. The queue was long but everything went smooth. The hotel is so strategic to everywhere and easy access to the mall and on the same wing itself at basement level that 2 foodcourt and restaurant have on every floor a lot varieties that u can get. The room is so spacious and clean with a nice unblocked view. We went to the level 18 to surprisingly that’s is no people there and it’s so calm it just when we was there the pools attendant showing a bit attitude (showing black face, bangs the waterproof bed on thair from folding) im not sure if he tired or lack of motivation of doing same things everyday or maybe he have a bad day. In the next morning we went for breakfast as usual we has been assist by the restaurant host to our table and host nurul asked if is our first time here and we say yes she did a good moved to bring us a breakfast tour and showed us surrounded food area where to get and located and even she ask us drinks that she help us to get. So far what can i conclude here is Everyone here has played their own role from the front desk, bell boy, housekeeper, restaurant host and bellhop to make the hotel stand with their own class proudly. Wish u guys best of luck and ill be back here again in future to try your club rooms it’s look so interesting with the offers ❤️
