My stay at the Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur was excellent overall, though there were a few minor drawbacks. The location was incredibly convenient, allowing easy access to major attractions. The staff's attentiveness and friendly service made me feel welcomed during my business trip. However, the breakfast buffet could improve with some more variety, and I found the pillows a bit too soft for my liking.

My recent stay at Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur was a lovely experience overall. The hotel's central location makes it convenient for sightseeing, and I particularly enjoyed the spacious executive room with its huge bed. However, I did notice that some areas, like the bathrooms, are showing signs of wear and could use some updating. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, although it can get quite busy during peak hours.
