Having travelled to KL a number of times this was our first stay at the Royale Bintang. We found the location probably the best, being in close proximity to most of the shopping action and central to the other points of interest. The hotel itself was good, the rooms spacious with a great outlook. The pool facilities and gym were also very good. The only downside of our stay was the breakfast. The hotel was very busy with guests and on the first morning quite a long wait had to be endured to actually get into the restaurant. Once finally seated the journey to the buffet was just as arduous, requiring the skills of an NFL linebacker to make it there. Then having felt like a major victory was had reaching the food, you were left gazing at counters which looked like one thousand wild buffalos had just passed by in a feeding frenzy. The following day could only be described as worse. With no line up at the restaurant we were forced by staff to go to a function room where the "exact same" breakfast was being served. Yes this was exactly the same except for no eggs, no chef cooking anything, all the food being cold and being seated in an area that resembled a prison cafeteria. It was just as well we didn't just travel to KL to eat breakfast and apart from this minor issue the rest of our stay was great.
