The twin towers were clearly and fully visible from the room. The lobby is on the 2nd floor. We stayed in a Twin Tower Suite, which wasn't very spacious, but it did come with access to the executive lounge on the 32nd floor. However, we spent most of our time having breakfast on the 5th floor, as the variety there was much better. The 32nd-floor lounge didn't offer much in terms of food, though it did have the advantage of a twin tower view while dining [crying emoji].
The hotel is very close to KLCC, and there's a shuttle service available, which is very convenient. It's a bit further from Pavilion, about a 15-minute walk.
Now, about the booking experience. The price I paid online already included tourism tax and service tax. However, when I checked in, the front desk told me they wouldn't charge a deposit but then asked me to pay the tourism tax. Luckily, I had printed out a bilingual version of my booking confirmation, which clearly showed that the hotel fees I'd already paid included the service tax. After that, the front desk asked for a 1000 MYR deposit, so I gave her ten 100-denomination cash notes. Then, at checkout, they tried to charge me service tax again! I had to pull out my booking confirmation once more. The front desk staff took a photo of it and then gave me twenty 50-denomination cash notes as a refund.
Overall, the hotel's view is good, and the location is decent. The concierge on the 1st floor was helpful, but the rest of the service was just average.
