Second time for us at Furama Bukit Bintang. We were here during the very busy Lunar New Year period. There was a long queue to check in which was not the fault of the staff who were all unfailingly polite and helpful. In the end, we stood in line for more than half an hour. This is rather longer than ideal.
We were informed that housekeeping only comes every 3 nights. However we had daily turn down service and our towels were also changed every day. Perhaps daily housekeeping was extended to the Executive Rooms which we stayed in. The housekeeping team didn't however replenish coffee supplies and toiletries. This is a minor issue; just remember to bring your own instant coffee if you need a fix every morning as the hotel only provides two sachets.
Overall, Furama Bukit Bintang is good value for money. The location is excellent, within walking distance to Berjaya Times Square, Jalan Imbi for food and the Bukit Bintang shopping belt. Lalaport BBCC is just 100 metres away with excellent food choices and the well-connected Hang Tuah station (monorail and 2 LRT lines). Those who don't mind a slightly longer walk and KL's swarm of cars can easily make it to TRX within 15 to 20 minutes on foot.
The furnishings in the room are showing signs of age, but everything was clean and in working order. The room was generously sized, the bathroom was also comfortably proportioned and water pressure was fantastic.
