Tuan ZalizamMalaysiaOutdated amenities and cleanliness issues.
The staff were helpful and friendly.
While the room was spacious, it was drastically pulled down by poor maintenance and outdated amenities. The furniture was old, and the curtains were dusty and visibly moldy around the…

SuatSGI love the location of this hotel, but not the facilities. They should really spruce up the place.
The location was very good, within walking distance to a few places of interest and a mall. The shower worked well. I was able to get an extra bed for my son easily.
The hotel is rather old and rundown. It appears sad…
HemiMalaysiaThe front desk staff & late check in. The front desk staff very rude and not corporate. And also their not professional. When i not happy because of late check in one if the staff not willing to help me.
WuItaly服务人员非常友好，满足了我们因为长途旅行劳累可以提前入住的请求，之后也因为一些设备问题，为我们更换了房间，单从服务上来说，完全符合五星级酒店的水准。
酒店确实非常老旧了，但是这个价格也还能接受，希望未来可以重新装修一番。

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.

Questions about Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites
What time is check-in and check-out at Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
