Great hotel for £30. All been recently decorated. Rooms are large and simple but with everything you need for a night or two. The most helpful staff encountered. Left bags there while doing a 1 night trip. Left before breakfast but they provided a take away breakfast without asking. Only a 5 min taxi to town centre (or use hotels... more

Was in KK for a few days, after returning from a short trip to Tawau and Labuan. I had previously stayed at this hotel when it was under the Berjaya Group, and the change it's undergone is nothing short of astounding!! from the outside it looks the same, but once you go inside you realize it's a totally different animal... more

I was a pleasantly surprise to see such huge difference to this hotel compared to my last visit 10 yrs ago. The new interior makeover definitely got the "wow". My husband and I took up a superior room with breakfast at the cost of RM158, what value for money it was! The new contemporary design of the lobby and the... more

The hotel was newly renovated and the very good thing about the hotel is room because the floor is made of wood tiles not carpet so the room was not smelly.. the hotel rate in which buffet breakfast is included is also very, very reasonable and way more cheaper than the hotel rates in the Philippines..the staff is also friendly... more

We needed one night's stay in KK, awaiting a flight to Sandakan early the next morning. The taxi ride was only about 12 minutes from the airport and the driver knew where to go when we said "Palace Hotel". Take note that this hotel, despite its name, is NOT part of the Bejaya hotel group. Located on a small hilltop,... more

I travel in Malaysia a fair amount, and I thought that the price for a room here was okay for the room, but the service and location leave a lot to be desired. I had an accident before my holiday and was on crutches for this trip. We were booked in a room that was the farthest from the lobby... more

So, looking for a half decent place to have a decent stay in KK, our agent mentioned this for a pretty good price. After reading a few reviews it seemed we were going to be in for a small shock... but being a little short of money, we went ahead with it. We got there and checked in pretty easily... more

We arrived at on the 12-Jul-07 at around 1030am and were asked to wait an hour whilst the room was prepared. When the room was prepared we booked in. We had noticed some noise in the hotel whilst waiting and were informed that the hotel was going through renovation at present and there would be noise from 8am to 8pm... more
