"We were greeted with a 20 minutes line to check-in because the lack of available staff. People expect to arrive and quickly check-in when they book rooms in a 5-stars hotel. Then they required us to leave a deposit amount for some reason. Many hotels don't have it as a requirement so it was an unpleasant surprise. Then we tried to use this deposit in the on-site restaurant and they refused to use it because "we didn't use a credit card for the deposit". Long story short, the check-in and dinner experience were horrible and draining. The room seemed to be mostly clean in visible places, but when I put my finger through a top shelf it was full of dust, as if it was not cleaned for at least 3-4 months. The TV in the room is not a smart TV and is very old, but at least they could send someone to put a smart TV stick in it so we could put some Youtube. I can't say the whole experience was absolutely horrible, the staff is friendly and helpful which made it a little more bearable. But I wouldn't book a room in Grand Hyatt again."
"Great breaky choices and it was lovely to relax in and around the pool after going out nearby. I do think the pool area needs more umbrellas for shade options.
Housekeeping staff were wonderful, friendly and thought of everything we needed before we even asked. Kader in particular stood out for his professional demeanour, helpfulness and friendliness. We will be back again and recommending to friends."
"Great location - next to Petronas Towers. Short walk to bars, restaurants, shopping mall and metro station. We stayed in a club room and the club lounge was like an oasis - lovely food and drinks with perfect views from the 24th floor. Swimming pool area was lovely - got very busy but always managed to find a sunbed. Staff were exceptional, particular the lovely man from Penang in the club lounge (sorry can’t remember his name) and the doormen. Only slight disappointment was breakfast - just didn’t do it for me. Would go back in a heartbeat."
