Hotel Istana
A True Royal Experience
Back to Hotel Istana
Beware if you plan to stay at Hotel Istana. When I had stayed there in Mid of May 2008, I found a couple of bedbugs (a kind of blood-eating insect) crawling on my bed sheet. I also found two cockroaches in my room; one on the minibar and another in the bathroom. So, if you don’t want to sleep with these insects, stay away from Hotel Istana!

We stayed at this palatial hotel for a few nights and couldn't speak highly enough of it. As soon as we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. The staff always greeted you with a smile; they were so friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a deluxe room which was lovely, very clean, very spacious bathroom with heaps of mirrors. Beautiful swimming pool. Great variety of food to choose from with live music in the evening. Very central to shopping complexes and only a 10 min walk to the twin towers. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting KL.

The old hotel which is being renovated recently but they allocate the rooms according to the budget you pay. If you pay more you get the renovated rooms. otherwise the rooms are normal. With in the walkable distance of Twin tower and good restaurents around.

We spent two day in the hotel after a long trip to KL. The KLCC is in a walkable distance. The hotel is quite and clean. The lobby design is great. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay and the food in the hotel. I think it is good place for business as well.

We are a family of 4 from Australia, two kids 14 &11. We met up with my parents from Uk and had a week together. The hotel was lovely, really comfortable. The staff were so wonderful, they treated us like 5 star paying customers. I don't think you could be treated any better anywhere in the world.

The rooms were booked 2 weeks in advance. When we arrived at 1530hrs, the rooms were not cleaned up yet, although the checkout time was supposed to be 1300 hrs. We approached the manager (a guy) who were rather lacking in customer service who said "come here" indicating us to follow him to the rooms which were just rejected by someone at the front counter. The bathroom door and the toilet cistern was not working.

Wow, i enjoyed staying in istana hotel. The room was clean, we had access to our own room safe. I stayed there with my cousin for 9 days, and we had no problem as far as we were concerned. For the toilet they installed a sliding door with no locking mechanism!, that was a big issue for both of us, as we had to set some toilet time rules!. Our room had a glories view of the twin towers, which was Fascinating in the evening
