We recently stopped over in KL for a couple of nights on our way to Thailand. What we were looking for was a safe family friendly central hotel - it is fair to say that the Federal fitted that brief perfectly. OK, it's one of the older hotels in KL but it is so well located, you are on the... More

Breakfast was ok and price was negotiable as there were six of us in our group and we went to breakfast a bit later. Close to Bukit Bintang and all shopping. The downside was that it... More
