stayed at the old kl hilton, the lounge and spread was excellent, staff service was superb, the pool was excellent, but the hotel was worn and feeling its age. great location.

the new kl hilton, i went past about 8 wks ago, beautiful building part of the KL sentral complx, the problem is the location, it isn't great, and therefore really can't compete with it's city proper upper class hotels (ie marriott, ritz carlton, regent), hence the pricing i suspect. but being near kl sentral, there is easy access to public transport and cabs are cheap in kl.

price is actually a little richer (quite a bit) than it's nearby sister hotel, the pj hilton. i'm sure i'll stay at this hotel later this year, looking forward to it.
