Hotel stay marred by loss of RM104 value of Highway Touch and Go passcard. This was left in the car (driver side- sun visor). We drove and arrived at rear of hotel to park the car temporarily so that we can check in. That was 930am in the morning with almost ZERO traffic on a Tuesday morning. Valet said we... More

For foreign travelers, a hotel's location is very important since we do a lot of walking and commuting to get around. Federal Hotel offers just that since it is conveniently located within walking distance from shopping areas and restaurants. Nearby places include: Plaza Low Yat Shopping Centre (use the hotel's back entrance) and Jalan Alor (hawker stye dining). More

Stayed at the hotel on 13th Feb for one night. At first when I called the hotel and enquired about the rates, I was kind of put off as the person who answered my call was not at all professional. I enquired on the rates and she asked me "Who are you". As I was taken a back, I said... More

We stayed there from 12 to 14 Jan 2012. Although the hotel was very old, the furniture and fittings were well maintained. Service was prompt when the shower head and tap had to be replaced. The counter staff were professional and courteous and spoke good English. The aircon in the toilet could be switched off (which is a first for... More

Stayed only once at this hotel. It's in the center of Bukit Bintang area, so that's a great plus (and just in front of one of the few vegan-vegetarian-macrobiotic restaurants around, if you care about that). The overall impression is of a very old hotel which surely was impressing and majestic in its times. Now it's just old but decently... More

The key factor in choosing Federal is always the location, along with Royal Bintan, its hard to beat for access to Bukit Bintan area for shopping and food and is close enough to Times square as well. Proximity to Imbi and Bukit Bintan Monorail is also a plus. What makes it stand apart from similar offerings in the general area... More

This hotel located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Bintang, which provide max convenience to tourist who want to shopping in Malaysia. But due to the age, this hotel are old and some sort of dirty feeling... but it's value for money for tourist who don't mind the hotel so much but location and value of $~! More
