We really enjoyed our stay at Le Méridien, we spent 4 nights. It was comfortable and quiet, the room was a very good size, there are some minor maintenance issues, but nothing to concerning. Breakfast was very good, great range of options and the staff were excellent. The location was also second to none

Nice, clean hotel and restaurant buffet was always awesome when I chose to eat there. There is other nice restaurants in the area within walking distance too, not about to try the street food here, it's nothing like Penang. Outside the property the streets and sidewalk are in very poor condition, trash and garbage everywhere, hawkers etc.

Beautiful hotel, Beautiful views over the water, veey helpful, very nice English speaking staff, the buffet meals offer many tasty types of food.. Now stepping outside onto the sidewalks is another thing altogether. Pollution, trash in the water and along the streets is horrible, add to that the broken city sidewalks and hawkers along some of the shops. Fortunately you can grab very decent cabs using Grab, local equivalent to Uber and very inexpensive, to go anywhere without stepping off of the property.

The hotel staff were very good and very welcoming. The buffet breakfast was very delicious with everything you could expect and in a very spacious restaurant. Also breakfast buffet opened early enough if you needed to have breakfast early and go on with your day.
The dinner buffet on the Saturday evening was also awesome - with so much variety. The room was spacious and well maintained and was happy to have an inbuilt wall plug adapter and so we didn't have to use our adapters. We will definitely stay at this hotel for future visits as its location means you are close to everything including the airport being less than 20 minutes away.

An eventful stay in KK le Meridien

Pros
Location
hardworking friendly staff
shout out to Concierge team Rocky
Natashkumar from bar
Malcom ,Ricky in front office
club lounge team
GM Suresh who tried to fix issues as they arose ( see cons below)

very comfortable bed, meals, breakfast

Cons:

-*****caution very slippery marble type floors panels in bathroom /shower
I slipped and fell dislocating my shoulder!
Accidents do happen but can be better prevented - maybe non slip mats/ different material to the marble is what I would suggest

Hotel team helped arrange transport to hospital and were very apologetic ,and empathetic however
- very poor condition of bath tub in 2 rooms
and carpets (see pics) which I fed back directly to GM. I was looking forward to a bath but couldn’t as unpalatable.

Old Hotel with much to improve. For example, carpets everywhere are stained and frankly disgusting and displeasing, especially in the rooms themselves.

Stay away

Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel was very disappointing. The overall cleanliness left much to be desired—especially in the common areas, the sauna, and around the pool, which were not well maintained. The breakfast was another letdown: the quality was poor, and there were very few options to choose from.

Due to these issues, we decided to cancel the remainder of our stay and requested a refund. The only positive aspect of our experience was the staff, who were very friendly and tried their best to be helpful despite the circumstances.

I would not recommend this hotel until significant improvements are made.

The room we stayed is very clean and spacious and we enjoyed our stay very much .

The only setback the hotel is that guests can smell the foul air from the nearby Filipino market Once you stand outside the lobby. Because of the hotel is across the market, the surrounding area gets pretty busy . May not be pleasant if you are on holiday.

Originally my booking for the hotel is 17-21/3/2025. Due to the flight changed, I requested Expedia to change booking of the hotel to 18-22/3/2025.
I got the changed and the staff of Expedia informed me that due to this change, any further change or cancellation is not allowed. I accepted this for I am not prepared to have any further change. Expedia also refunded me S$26.11. Anyhow, Expedia never informed me that everyday breakfast included was cancelled until the hotel informed me when I checked in.

First of all let me say that we really enjoyed our stay. The room was just fine, the view was amazing, the pool was good and the restaurant (we only had the breakfast buffet) was very good. The location couldn't have been much better due to it's proximity to the markets. The hotel staff were all excellent and we were very happy with the price.
The only negative things I have to say are some minor condition complaints. Our room needed to have the carpet cleaned and the sofa needed it's upholstery cleaned. There was some minor touch up needed in the bathroom with grout and calking that is common in many hotels. These are simple fixes that have to be done to earn a 5 star review. Please understand I am not saying it was dirty but an hour spent in the room by maintenance staff on those simple things would go a long way.
Over all we very much recommend this hotel.

Beautiful property and friendly staff. Food for the room service and breakfast buffets were good as well. Liked the bottle water that they have in the rooms. I think the only mild issue I had was the standup shower, in that the water did seem to get by by the cracks of the glass door fairly easily, so the towel I was using as a mat to leave the shower was almost always soaked. There was also maybe one or two tiny bugs in the bathroom when I first checked in.

Fancy property but what travelers value most is a nice bed & hot shower & they only delivered the first. The room was opulent & visually stunning but the shower water never got hot, drainage was poor & the seals leaked so water seeped out all over the floor which created a dangerous mess requiring all the towels & robe to mop up to avoid slipping. They should focus on the basics before all the decorative stuff that's not that important when all most want is to refresh after long journeys & sleep.

Next level. This is truly a five star hotel in every way from the facilities to the staff. The location is directly across from the harbour and you can see the fishing boats coming and going.

An easy walk to the Sunday market and the night market. There are shopping centres close by for all your needs. Markets are across the road.

We had a sea view room which was spacious and lovely. Towels were white and fluffy. Bed linen luxurious and the beds and pillows were super comfortable.

The service we received from the staff was next level. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff went above and beyond. We felt very welcomed and loved our 3 night stay.
