Review of Capitol Hotel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Sept 2012
Fourth time in KL and third stay at this hotel. Basically my high rating is due to value for money and location of this hotel. There are those who would have quibbles about noise and cigarette smells which I understand but I believe this is more than made up for by the positive attributes of the Capitol.
This time we had 'corner rooms' which were on the 16th floor and again looking out towards the iconic Petronas Towers. Unfortuanately there is now a nondescript building that partially obscures the view of one of the towers (southern?). The rooms themselves were very pleasing being roomy and well maintained. They were serviced each day and we had no problems at all with housekeeping.
Check in was smooth and all front office staff were pleasant. Anything we asked for was handled with a smile and their level of english is coming on; much better than my malaysian. I would recommend this hotel to anyone except those who are totally allergic to cigarette smell. Unfortunately smoking in Aisa is still quite prevalent and there is a stale smoke smell on most floor levels.
Date of stay: August 2012
Room Tip: Ask for as high up as possible. This still dose not preclude street noise but it helps. Noise...

Third stay at the Capitol and loved it as usual! Right in the middle of all the shopping and food you could possibly want. Our rooms were clean and spacious, staff were very friendly and breakfast was great. Yes the location can be noisy but that didn't bother us at all. That's KL!! Excellent value for money and would stay again.

i have stayed there twice. Once was 1999 and one just recent Aug 2012. The room is huge and very clean and tidy. The location is excellent! The staff members are very friendly. Glad that i went back to the same hotel.

Room tip: Deluxe room is fantastic!

It was my 3rd trip but first along with my family. As usually service is excellent by staffs of Capitol from check-in to check-out. I was in a Superior Room @ 7th Floor [702] - nice room, in terms of size it may not big but not small though. Bathroom is spacious with basic toiletries. One can book all types of tours from the concierge and got discount voucher this time which was really a worthy one at Berjaya Times Square Theme Park - thanks to staff Peter for his kind co-operation as always. Actually, nothing to complain about Hotel Capitol except lobby area. I must say to management to improve the lobby size, amenities and facilities like Federal. Federal is another sister concern of this hotel group located just a minute away where we went for swimming as Capitol has no pool has their own. Will be back for sure :-)

Room tip: Rooms on higher floor having nice view of Petronas Twin Tower & KL Tower

Reviewed 28 August 2012

we asked for a room at a higher floor overlooking the city center and the Petronas Towers and we received exactly that. the hotel is very conveniently located near transports and shopping centers.

(+)
- location, next to transport, shopping, bars and restaurants
- good price
- views (at higher floors)
- rooms are clean and spacious, the big shower is excellent after a hot day in KL

(-)
- noise, noise, noise: the facade has a very almost no sound insulation; bring your earplugs as the neighborhood is quite noisy;
- check-in very very long

very big (-)
- we asked for a taxi for the airport early in the morning. the staff at the reception told us it was 120 MYR so we thought they would reserve us a fixed-price shuttle. in fact, next morning we took a meter taxi that was contacted by someone from the hotel reception. Even if the total cost of the trip was around 80 MYR (highway tax included) we had to pay 120 MYR. The difference was probably split between the taxi and the hotel staff.

I consider that is terribly inappropriate that the staff of the hotel participates in these kind of taxi-scam activities.

Room tip: choose a higher floor: good views and less noise

Nothing to complain about this hotel!
The room was very clean and bed very comfortable. The reception and all the staff is EXTREMELY nice and very helpful! When you need any information you don't even have to ask, they probably already offer you a solution! 
When we checked out we left the luggage in the hotel cause our bus was at 10pm. The reception offered us a room to have a shower before leaving to the bus station! 
Perfect location! Close to train and monorail station and also to one of the main bus station (Putu)
The guests of this hotel can also use the swimming pool of the close Federal hotel! 
Overall good value and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
