Nice hotel for a few nights stay. A few issues like the shower head kept falling out of the stand and the pillows were extremely uncomfortable, but all in all it was a comfortable hotel with a decent breakfast, helpful staff and really well situated. Would stay again.

The hotel is in a great location. Excellent breakfast options - try the sarawak laksa. Staff are very helpful and the concierge was able to find tours for a solo traveller without having to pay for 2 people. I stayed in one of the older, cheaper rooms and the bathrooms are in need of renovation however it was still clean and everything worked well.

I've stayed here several times now over the last 30 years. There are better hotels around for sure but The Grand Margherita is consistently a good standard. Try and get one of the newer refurbished rooms, my last stay was in one of the older rooms (8th floor) and it's sadly in need of some TLC. Still adequate but could do with updating

Comfortable bed but overall needs some work.

The lobby is in nice condition, the hallways leading to the rooms have filthy carpeting. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms have mold in the showers, mirrors are peeling in the back. We switched to the executive floor and the bathrooms were slightly better but the hallways were in the same dirty condition. Staff is friendly. The place needs some TLC.

飛行機の遅延で、チェックインが8時間くらい遅れ、夜中の1時にチェックインとなりましたが、受け入れてくれました。 朝ごはんはいろいろなメニューがあり、美味しかったです。ローカルスイーツも美味しかったし、お粥もあったので、お腹に優しく助かりました。 浴室の排水溝からの臭いが気になりました。マレーシアのトイレと浴室の事情からすると、どのホテルも似たようなものなのかもしれませんが。 エアコンを切っても、寒く、部屋では長袖を着ていなければなりませんでした。 冷蔵庫も電源が抜けていて、少し汚れていて、匂いもかなりなものでした。 翌日、清掃の方に冷蔵庫の裏側の電源を入れてもらい稼働しましたが、冷蔵庫の中と製氷器を丁寧に掃除してからでないと使う気になれませんでした。 タオルの匂いも気になりました。 シーツなどは毎日綺麗に交換してくれ、ボトルに入った水も毎日2本提供してくれました。 清掃の方も交換が持てる方でした。
