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.

Not recommended if you have a choice

The staff is friendly but the room hmm speechless…. if i have a choice i would rather not stay again . The bed was super hard like floorboard and the water leaking in the bathroom tape plus stain chair says it all.

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.

Not as expected for a 4* hotel

Room purchased for stay was a king bed but was initially given a twin bed. Eventually given a room with king bed but room condition was terrible. Fixtures were literally falling off like door handles, bathroom not quite clean and amenities like bathroom soap missing. We were given another room but linens like bath towels were dirty and bedsheets smelled. Not something one would expect from a reputable hotel. Only good thing was the duty manager (Mr Jamahari) handled the initial issue professionally and with utmost courtesy.
