Definitely the spectacular sea view! Still can't move on from it. Worth every penny 💕💕💕💕 Thank you Le Meridian KK!
MalaysiaThe staff is nice and the location is very convenient to shopping mall and food place.
SingaporeGood location, nice rooftop bar, restaurants, markets and shopping malls close by
United Arab EmiratesOne of our room was upgraded to a sea view suite room (very spacious for 2 adult and 2 kids). Then the other two rooms were changed to a connecting room on the next day so they were at the same level with the suite room and next to each other. The service was superb!! The staff are all friendly and helpful: counter staff, bellboy and latest recipe restaurant staff. Thank you Le Meridian, we hope to stay there again in the future.
BruneiThe room,food and staff very polite and friendly. The lobby area very spacious & relaxing
BruneiThe location of this hotel is at the centre of tourist attraction place.
MalaysiaIf you've ever stayed at a Le Meridien, you'll know what to expect -- from quality of furnishings and decor, to outdoor pool overlooking the sea and staff courteousness, down to even the MALIN+GOETZ toiletries, this property is exactly what I've experienced in other Le Meridiens (NYC, San Francisco, etc.). This is no small feat, considering the general lower quality of living in KK. The location is great, just across the night market with a splendid ocean view and sunset. Pool has bar with happy hour. Rooftop terrace bar/restaurant is a very cool space, but its popularity seems to peak at sunset (by the time we made it up there at around 9pm, there was more waiting staff than customers -- still, I enjoyed the live jazz singer performance). KK has a small city core, and it is possible to walk to all of the most interesting spots from the hotel. I enjoyed the comfortable king-size bed and quality linens. Bathroom has separate walk-in shower and bathing tub.
United States of AmericaGreat location, clean room, good restaurants, polite staff, fast check-in and check-out
PhilippinesThe hotel is located behind the fruit/seafood market and Handicraft market, with full-on view of the sea. Our room faced the sea and we truly enjoyed the scenic sunset views. Because of it's proximity to the market, the smell of fish is very strong, so that's the only negative I can say about this place. The room was luxurious, the bed was comfy (may be a bit too soft for people who prefer firm beds) and the pillows were fluffy. The best thing abt our room was the floor-to-ceiling sea view. I'd highly recommend the sea-view rooms coz you get to enjoy the stunning scenery without having to smell the nearby market or stand in the hot sun! Service is so friendly here, and they're quick to help. Location-wise, it's close to KK Centrepoint, local markets and walking distance to nearby malls. Lots of local food choices at the hotel doorstep too.
MalaysiaThe gym is open 24 hours and the breakfast is fairly good. I was able to get some traditional milk tea as well as lamb curry which was quite delicious. The staff gave us great recommendations on a seafood restaurant called Welcome Seafood. It was quite good. Also the happy hour at the Azure poolside bar and cafe is wonderful.
