Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts - accommodation in Batu Caves

The hotel is two years old so still looks pristine. We paid for a high floor and got the 8th floor even though the hotel has 20 floors of rooms I believe. The room was very clean and comfortable with a small balcony which you could stand on. The view was 10/10 but being only on the 8th floor we could hear traffic noise most of the night. The shower cubicle has a traditional head and a rainfall head which are both great but the floor is not angled sufficiently towards the drain and so the water does not drain away and forms a lake. Hotel location is excellent and the pool and gym areas very nice with good views of the city. Unfortunately the one night we stayed, the bar was closed inside for a private event but drinks were still served by the pool. We skipped breakfast however as it was not included in the room rate but we did not want to pay RM64 per person as that is expensive so we went elsewhere. At the end, the Reception did not ask how our stay was but overall they were friendly.

This hotel was exceptional, the breakfast was five star restaurant quality with sweeping views of Kuala Lumpur. Our room had breathtaking views of the Patronis Towers and the location of the hotel in KLCC is brilliant. We dined at two restaurants on site and had room service and could not believe how good the food was. This is our favourite hotel in Malaysia.

Horizon room definitely worth the extra expense. Lounge and wine a treat. Room very spacious and spotless. All staff were very helpful and friendly. 10/10. If back in KL
