Overview of De King Hotel - Twin Towers KLCC
Few 3-star properties in Kuala Lumpur can claim 222 rooms spread across 15 floors within sight of the Petronas Twin Towers, but that is exactly the footprint De King Hotel - Twin Towers KLCC occupies at 160 Jalan Ampang in Kampung Baru. The sheer room count puts it in a different league from the boutique guesthouses that typically cluster around KLCC, and it signals a hotel built for volume - business travelers, families, and tour groups alike - rather than an intimate hideaway.
The address itself does a lot of work: Jalan Ampang is one of Kuala Lumpur's oldest arterial roads, running directly toward the base of the Twin Towers, and Kampung Baru is a historic Malay settlement enclave that sits in stark contrast to the glass-and-steel skyline just a short walk away. Staying at De King Hotel means experiencing that contrast firsthand - traditional kampung streets on one side, the KLCC skyline on the other.
According to its Traveloka listing, the hotel carries an overall guest score of 8.5 out of 10 from 3,883 reviews, with location rated especially highly at 9.2 out of 10. Cleanliness (8.7) and service and facilities (8.6) round out a consistently solid guest experience profile. For a hotel of this size, maintaining scores in this range across thousands of reviews suggests reasonably standardized service delivery across its many floors and room categories.
Non-smoking policies apply throughout the property, and the hotel sets a minimum check-in age of 18, both details worth knowing before you book. Whether you are visiting Kuala Lumpur for business meetings in the KLCC precinct, a shopping trip to Suria KLCC and Avenue K, or simply want to wake up within walking distance of one of the most photographed skylines in Southeast Asia, De King Hotel positions itself as a practical, well-located base.
The remainder of this guide walks through the hotel's room categories, on-site facilities, the surrounding KLCC and Kampung Baru neighborhood, dining options, and practical booking tips - all sourced directly from the property's official Traveloka listing to keep the details accurate and current.
Room Types at De King Hotel - Twin Towers KLCC
Superior King, Queen, and Twin Rooms
The Superior category forms the hotel's entry-level tier and comes in King, Queen, and Twin bed configurations, each around 23 square meters. These rooms are the most numerous type across the property's 15 floors and represent the standard choice for solo travelers or couples who want a functional base near KLCC without paying for extra space. Given the size, expect a compact but complete room rather than a spacious retreat - well suited to guests planning to spend most of their day out exploring rather than lounging in the room.
Superior Triple Rooms
For small groups or families needing a third bed, the Superior Triple measures approximately 24 square meters, only marginally larger than the standard Superior rooms despite accommodating an extra guest. Travelers booking this category should set expectations accordingly - it is designed to fit three people rather than to offer generous extra space, and is best suited to short stays where floor space is a secondary concern to simply having a bed for everyone in the party.
Deluxe King, Queen, and Twin Rooms
Sitting above the Superior tier, the Deluxe rooms are offered in King, Queen, and Twin bed setups. While the official listing does not break out exact square meterage for this tier, the Deluxe naming convention at De King Hotel typically denotes an upgrade in either room size or furnishings over the Superior category. Guests who want a small step up in comfort without moving into the Executive tier should look here first.
Executive Queen and Twin Rooms
The Executive Queen and Executive Twin rooms sit toward the upper end of the hotel's room ladder, aimed at travelers who want additional comfort during longer stays or business trips. As with the Deluxe tier, guests should confirm exact size and inclusions at the time of booking, since the listing does not itemize every specification for this category.
Executive KLCC View Rooms
The hotel's premium offering is the Executive KLCC View room, specifically positioned to capture skyline views toward the Petronas Twin Towers and the surrounding KLCC precinct. For guests whose primary reason for choosing this hotel is the Twin Towers proximity in the first place, this room category is the one that actually delivers a view of them from inside the room rather than just a short walk to see them. It is the logical upgrade for a special-occasion stay, an anniversary trip, or simply travelers who want the skyline as part of the experience rather than just the neighborhood.
Facilities and Amenities
De King Hotel - Twin Towers KLCC is equipped for both short business stopovers and longer leisure stays. Complimentary Wi-Fi runs throughout the property, a baseline expectation for any hotel serving the business-heavy KLCC district, and the front desk operates on a 24-hour basis so guests arriving on late flights or heading out for early meetings are never without support. Non-smoking rooms are available across the property's room categories, and an on-site library offers a quieter alternative to the lobby for guests who want to read or work outside their room.
Dining is handled in-house by D-Zen Japanese Restaurant, giving guests a sit-down option without needing to leave the building, while dry cleaning and laundry services support longer business trips or travelers packing light. For airport transfers, the hotel offers a paid shuttle service, useful for guests who prefer to prearrange transport rather than negotiate with taxi counters after a long flight. In-room, guests can expect a safe, a flat-screen TV, and coffee and tea making facilities as standard across the room categories.

- Airport shuttle service (surcharge applies)
- On-site library
- Dry cleaning and laundry service

A refundable deposit is collected at check-in via cash or debit card, a routine practice at hotels of this size and category in Kuala Lumpur.
Location and Getting There
The single biggest draw of De King Hotel - Twin Towers KLCC is its address on Jalan Ampang, which places it within walking distance of the Petronas Twin Towers themselves - arguably Kuala Lumpur's single most recognizable landmark. Suria KLCC, the sprawling shopping mall at the base of the towers, is reachable on foot, as is Avenue K Mall, which sits directly adjacent to the hotel. For travelers who want to shop, dine, and sightsee without relying heavily on taxis or rideshares, this location does most of the heavy lifting.
Public transport connections are strong. KLCC LRT station connects directly into the Suria KLCC mall complex, meaning guests can walk from the hotel through air-conditioned corridors straight to a train platform without stepping outside. Ampang MRT station sits roughly 100 meters from the property, giving guests a second rail option and easier access across the wider Klang Valley MRT network. KLCC Park, the green space wrapped around the base of the Twin Towers, is also within easy walking distance for a morning jog or an evening stroll with the towers lit up overhead.
For travelers arriving from outside Kuala Lumpur, it is worth booking a flight into Kuala Lumpur on Traveloka and pairing it directly with this hotel stay, since KLCC's transit links make onward travel from either KLIA or KLIA2 straightforward once you land. The Kampung Baru neighborhood immediately surrounding the hotel also offers a very different, more traditional side of the city, a useful contrast for travelers who want to see more of Kuala Lumpur than just the skyscraper district.
Dining at De King Hotel - Twin Towers KLCC
Guests staying at De King Hotel have an on-site dining option in D-Zen Japanese Restaurant, allowing for a full meal without leaving the building - a convenient choice after a long day of sightseeing or meetings in the KLCC precinct. Beyond the hotel's own restaurant, the surrounding KLCC and Kampung Baru area is dense with food options ranging from mall food courts inside Suria KLCC to hawker-style stalls in the older Kampung Baru streets just behind the hotel, giving guests a genuine choice between convenience dining and more local, budget-friendly fare.
Because the hotel sits so close to one of Kuala Lumpur's premier retail and dining hubs, guests who want to explore further afield have no shortage of options within a short walk or a quick ride. Travelers looking to build out a fuller day of eating and sightseeing around Kuala Lumpur can browse activities and things to do on Traveloka to find food tours, cultural experiences, and attraction tickets that pair naturally with a KLCC-based stay. Breakfast is available at the property for an additional charge rather than included as standard, so guests should factor that into their morning plans or simply step out to one of the many nearby cafes.
Why Stay at De King Hotel - Twin Towers KLCC
The case for De King Hotel rests on a few concrete, verifiable strengths rather than marketing language. First, the location score of 9.2 out of 10 from thousands of Traveloka reviewers is not a coincidence - walking distance to the Petronas Twin Towers, Suria KLCC, and Avenue K is a genuinely rare combination for a hotel in this price bracket. Second, the sheer scale of the property, 222 rooms across 15 floors, means a wide spread of room categories and configurations, from compact Superior rooms for solo travelers to the premium Executive KLCC View rooms for guests who want the skyline as part of their stay.
Third, the hotel's overall guest score of 8.5 out of 10 across 3,883 reviews reflects consistency at scale - a much harder thing to achieve with 222 rooms than with a small boutique property. Fourth, the presence of an in-house Japanese restaurant, an on-site library, and 24-hour front desk coverage gives the hotel a rounded set of conveniences that go beyond a bare-bones budget stay. Fifth, the split identity of the neighborhood, glass towers on one side and the historic Kampung Baru enclave on the other, gives guests two very different experiences of Kuala Lumpur without needing to change hotels.
Finally, direct rail access via both KLCC LRT and the nearby Ampang MRT station means guests are not dependent on taxis to reach the airport rail link, other parts of the city, or the wider Klang Valley. For travelers who prioritize location and transit convenience above all else, De King Hotel delivers on both counts with figures to back it up.
Tips for Booking De King Hotel - Twin Towers KLCC on Traveloka
Because the hotel spans multiple room tiers, from Superior through to the premium Executive KLCC View category, it is worth deciding in advance whether a Twin Towers-facing room matters to your stay - if it does, book the Executive KLCC View tier specifically rather than a generic Executive room, since views are not guaranteed across every room type. Families or small groups of three should look at the Superior Triple category rather than booking two separate rooms, which is typically the more practical option for a short KL stay.
Remember that the minimum check-in age is 18, and check-in itself runs from 3:00 PM, so travelers landing on an early flight should plan for luggage storage or a few hours of sightseeing before rooms become available. A refundable deposit is collected on arrival, so keep a cash amount or debit card on hand rather than assuming card pre-authorization alone will suffice. Non-Malaysian guests should also expect a standard per-night tourism tax added at settlement, a nationwide policy rather than a hotel-specific fee.
If breakfast matters to your routine, note that it is offered at an additional per-guest charge rather than bundled into the room rate by default, so check the specific rate plan you are booking on Traveloka to see whether breakfast is already included. Given the hotel's popularity, reflected in its high review volume, booking a few weeks ahead during peak KL travel periods is a sensible precaution. For guests weighing this property against other options in the same KLCC and Bukit Bintang corridor, it's worth taking a moment to compare other Kuala Lumpur hotels on Traveloka before finalizing a booking.
