Insights and feedback shared by past guests
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the EQ Kuala Lumpur for its modern feel and often mention the spacious rooms. The rooftop infinity pool and spa facilities are highlights for many, and the gym is notably well-equipped. While some found the skybar a bit warm due to lack of ventilation, the hotel's location provides easy walking distance to shopping malls and the Petronas Towers, with partial views of the towers from higher floors like the 39th. The complimentary mini-fridge also comes in handy.

wonderful stay in a beautiful twin room!

modern gymshaded sectionrainfall showercomplimentary mini bar
I really enjoyed the gym. It had three treadmills and two stationary bikes. the pool area included twenty loungers plus a shaded section, great. the beautiful twin room had two separate sinks and a rainfall shower, very convenient. the hotel also provided a complimentary mini bar, it had soft drinks and snacks, a lovely touch!
the hairdryer in my room was of a lower standard, similar to what you might find in a three-star hotel. it required constant pressure to operate, a little inconvenient!

the rooms were clean and spacious, i found the beds to be comfortable. the staff were very cute and helpful too. the location is very central, i will come back again for sure.
the pool was underwhelming, it was not quite what i expected from this hotel. the club lounge was also a letdown for me, as it offered very little in terms of value. there was a complete lack of seating area, relaxation area in the lobby, i found that surprising

the location was acceptable, close to attractions.
The room cleaning was not up to standard. I found hair on the sofa. the sliding door to the toilet kept getting stuck, annoying. the rainfall shower didn't work despite attempts to fix it, and there was mold on the sink. It was disappointing.
