Stayed here for one night in April, and you could not get a better location as it's right opposite the the bars and restaurants. Though, that does mean it can be noisy, especially if it's Saturday night when we stayed. The music goes on until about 2am, and you can hear the planes taking off from KK airport. Recommend earplugs... More

I stayed for a night. This place is just perfect. It’s located at strategic location. Walking distance from flee market & fine dine areas. The lobby staff was very friendly. The room was great & cosy. I stayed with 3 friends in a family room. The hotel room rate is reasonable. It’s better than cheap back packer’s hotels nearby. Pro's... More

We had 2 bookings here, 1 night before we went to an island overnight and 3 nights after we came back. On arrival they gave us a room which smelled really bad and we refused to move in. They than offered us another room which kinda smelled the same and again we rejected the room. They then told us that... More

I stayed at this hotel on February 2013 for 2 nights. Frankly not worth the price I paid for of RM158.00. Rate is expensive then what the same hotels has in K.L. The only good point of this hotel is the location where the food courts, seafood restaurant & shopping mall just nearby the hotel within walking distance. All rooms... More

I pay RM148 for queen bed room with the window facing star buck coffee. I can hear the music from nearby road and pubs, others may find this annoying. The air conditioner leaked out on the second day but they managed to fix it. Free bottled drinking water, coffee making, wifi and limited tv channel. The location is good as... More

We stayed here during our stopover prior to diving trip and also post diving trip. Good location is a plus factor. Rooms are small, but clean and need with all the basic amenities. It is a budget hotel, so do not expect a Le Meridien. Value for money. Recommended for short stay.

The family and I ( 2 adults, 3 kids) just spent 2 nights at the KK Waterfront. The staff was okay. As it is a new hotel, they're obviously still working on some of the finer points of running a hotel. The state of the place however definitely needs improvement. There were loose wires dangling from ceilings in the corridors,... More
