Disappointing Stay at The Robertsan Kuala Lumpur – Not Family Friendly
I stayed at The Robertsan Kuala Lumpur for 3 days and 2 nights over the weekend, and unfortunately, the experience was far from pleasant. Here’s a detailed breakdown of my stay:
🔴 External Environment & Safety Concerns
• The corridor outside the room had a strong garbage smell, which was very unpleasant.
• The car park at Level 3A was dusty and not well-maintained.
• A window near the lift was easily accessible to children, posing a serious safety hazard.
🔴 Room Experience
• Only one access card was provided, making it very difficult for guests to go out separately.
• The main door had no internal lock, meaning kids could open the door and walk out without our knowledge.
• The fan in the main hall was not working, and remotes for the TV and air-cond were not user-friendly.
• The TV had no internet connection, so Netflix or online entertainment was not an option, which made indoor time quite boring.
• The washing machine area had a very strong odor, making it unpleasant to use.
• The water tap was loose, and using it was uncomfortable.
• The kitchen had a bad smell, making it unpleasant to prepare or eat meals.
• The room phone was not working at all.
• Despite paying around RM700, there were no complimentary 3-in-1 drinks or bottled water, which was disappointing.
🔴 Balcony & Room Safety
• The balcony door couldn’t be locked, another safety risk, especially with children.
• The air-cond compressor area were also accessible to kids, adding to the list of safety concerns.
• There was no proper table or well-placed mirror for getting ready—just a medium-sized mirror in an awkward location.
• The unit had only one bathroom, which was not ideal for a family stay.
🔴 Cleanliness
• The bathroom was not clean—tiles were stained, and there was visible dirt around and beneath the toilet bowl.
• The water outlet (aerator) at the bathroom tap had very weak pressure, making it hard to wash our face or brush our teeth properly.
• The shower hand attachment and the toilet water tap were leaking, which made using them uncomfortable and inefficient.
⚠️ Overall Impression
This was honestly my first and worst experience staying in a hotel. As a family with young children, we did not feel safe, comfortable, or satisfied. Given its prime location in KL, I expected much better standards in terms of maintenance, cleanliness, and basic amenities.
I hope the management takes this feedback seriously to improve the guest experience moving forward.
