Ramada by Wyndham Hotels in Kuala Lumpur

I chose this hotel because it is an actual hotel as opposed to renting a privately owned apartment in a residential complex and because I am familiar with the brand having visited the Ramada in Guangzhou. Firstly, check-in was seamless and easy. A deposit of 100 ringer is required. Reception was friendly and efficient. Be sure to keep your deposit invoice as you’ll need it upon checkout but it’s refunded quickly in cash. The room itself is massive and very well set up. The bed is okay, not that soft but not as hard as others. The kitchen is good and though they supply crockery and utensils there are not pots or pans to cook if you wanted to. I didn’t mind since I didn’t want to cook anyway. The microwave is great and having a big fridge too is very convenient. The bathroom is a little small compared to the rest of the room, however, impressively the water temperature and pressure is constant and very good! The only drawback is that there are no plug points in the bathroom so ladies wishing to use the hairdryer have to do it in the kitchen. Room service is actually done via an app and is not directly through the hotel but affiliated with The Ceylon House next to the hotel. The food is of an excellent quality and fairly priced. The only thing I didn’t know is that I had to contact the restaurant directly to collect their crockery as housekeeping will not so it was left in the room. Luckily I visited the restaurant on my last day and mentioned it to them and they quickly sent a server up to the room to collect it. The location itself is great as it’s near the subway, malls and plenty of convenience stores and eateries around. Pharmacies, etc. are also conveniently found. The Chinese night food market is close by. My only complaint is the noise factor at night. Since the hotel is near to the bar area street and I could look onto it from my room it was very loud at night. It only quietens down around 3am. However, it did not cause me so much difficulty. Housekeeping is done daily and the staff respect the Do Not Disturb sign which is great! The pool is lovely and open till 11pm which is wonderful considering other places close too early. However, the depth is way too shallow throughout (maybe only 1.4m) I’m very short and even for me it was more like wading than swimming. Although I did not use it there is a very well set up laundry facility (bring your own detergent) and gym. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Ramada. I would visit again. Thank you very much for your hospitality. 😊
