    “Excellent Location in Bukit Bintang”

    I love it! The hotel is in a very strategic location in Bukit Bintang. It’s just a 2-minute walk across to Jalan Alor and only a few minutes’ walk to the malls and train station. Cons: The parking lot is not located within the hotel building. However, the parking area is secure with security on duty.

    I stayed in Federal as my hotel Furama was overbooked and I had no place to go. Thanks to Agoda I got a replacement. It was a lovely stay. So centralised. Close to Bk Bintang station. Full of eateries, good food of all price range. Staff were also very polite and helpful.

    “Bad hotel”

    I was very disappointed with my stay here. For a hotel claiming 4 stars, the standards were shockingly low. - Extra towels were charged, and the ones provided were of poor quality — they barely absorbed water. - A deposit of RM500 was required, which felt unreasonable given the poor service. - Hot water was unreliable and took nearly 15 minutes to come on. Overall, the experience did not match the price or the advertised rating. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone seeking comfort or decent service.

    Reviewed December 29, 2025

    Dear Mr Nazrin, Thank you for your feedback regarding the absorbency of the towels provided during your stay. We sincerely apologize that they did not meet your expectations. We are using brand-new, premium 100% cotton towels and typically require a few more washes to 'break in' and reach the maximum absorbency. We are currently fast-tracking our laundering process to ensure all new stock reaches its peak performance. The security deposit is a refundable hold used as a "safety net" to protect the property and ensure guests follow house rules for unusual messes,violations like smoking in a non-smoking room, accidental or damage to furniture, fixtures or amenities like linens. Our mission is to provide an excellent guest experience and we sincerely apologise for letting you down. We have taken note of your feedback and will strive to make improvements for a better guest experience in future. Regards The Management
