    Merdeka King with view - Newly Renovated
    Stayed 2 nights in May 2026

    “Excellent”

    Stayed at The Federal Kuala Lumpur for 2 nights recently. The location is very strategic — easy access to food and shopping. Jalan Alor is just nearby, and shopping malls such as Sungei Wang, Lot 10, and Pavilion are within walking distance. The MRT station is also very convenient to access. However, there are several areas that need improvement. There is no basement parking available, so guests need to park at the next building, Plaza Low Yat, which is inconvenient. The room also does not provide ironing facilities, and guests must go to a separate ironing room. Another issue is the lack of a telephone directory in the room, so it is unclear what number to dial for reception, room service, or other hotel services. There were also no signage cards for “Make Up Room” or “Do Not Disturb” to place on the door like most hotels provide. Overall, the hotel has an excellent location, but the facilities and guest convenience need a lot of improvement.
