Citin Hotel Pudu Kuala Lumpur reviews

2 / 10
Apr 2011, guest

I Connot recommend this hotel as the security of the goods of the guests are zero. Have a room safe but they rob money from the safe. If people working there do like these things how can I recommend the hotel.
Other thing is rooms are too small and space is not sufficient for 03 in a triple room.
Dont let your belongings in the room safe.

Basic room, convenient location
Stayed 3 nights in the hotel. Checked in late (around 1am) and found out later then due to some maintenence work, the water heater was not working.. Fortunately, hot water was restored the next morning. Have to say that water pressure from the shower was not the best.. Room I stayed at only had a small table which was inadequate to put our stuff.. Then again, the price they charge is reasonable and hence, I was not expecting big rooms with facilities. Main thing is the hotel room seems quite clean to me and together with the location,... more

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. Good to know that the location was suitable and that the room was clean as per your expectations. It is reassuring to know that the water heater was restored within a few hours. With regards to the water pressure sir, we are looking into it and should be resolved soon. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We await your return as our esteemed guest on your next trip. We hope to see you back soon again. Thank you.

Great.....but....
Everything was good....location for shopping, eating and transport ...especially for transport just near by the Puduraya bus station...so easy to reach everywhere, only complain about the water for flushing in toilet....need much time to wait for enough water to flush......
Management response from CITINhotelPUDU

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. It was nice reading your review. Seemed like you enjoyed your trip. Glad that the location was ideal. As for the flushing sir, it has been adjusted so as to minimise water wastage but the valve is adjustable so as to suit our guests needs. Guests can either adjust it on their own or contact the hotel staff who are on 24 hours standy. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We await your return as our esteemed guest on your next trip. Thank you.

Good breakfasts and good base to explore Kuala Lumpur
The positives first - good location and easy walking distance to most sights. We had a good view of both the Twin Towers and the Menara Tower from our hotel window. Also there was a good choice for breakfasts from cereals, toast (could have done with more than one toaster though as there was often a queue if there were lots of guests!) and a choice of cooked foods including omelette or scrambled eggs, beans, pancakes, noodles, rice etc. It was different choices every day and everything was regularly topped up. It certainly set you up for the... more

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. It was nice to read your review. You had taken time to list down many improvements and areas you liked. We thank you for taking the time. You have mentioned the location was good, so was the view from your room which is only offered in the Deluxe Rooms. You have given an excellent breakdown of the breakfast. We are in the process of upgrading the shower hose to stainless steel ones which are already fitted in most rooms. We are considering doing toilet upgrades before the fourth quarter of the year. Your room was not one of the toilets which was already done up from the sounds of it. None the less sir, rest assured that we are aware of certain aspects that need upgrades in the area. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We await your return as our esteemed guest on your next trip. Thank you.

Good for budget travellers
I am local guest. To be honest, this hotel is more suitable for transit stay and budget traveler. I believe the main objective is to cater backpacker as the location was streamy strategic. Room nice but the amenities so limited. Basically, I was so happy staying at Citin Pudu.
Management response from CITINhotelPUDU

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. It was a pleasure reading your review and thoughts. Good to know that Citin Pudu was your choice for your trip. We appreciate your comment on the amenities. We are currently looking into improvements such as dispensers instead of bottles should the idea be feasible. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We await your return as our esteemed guest on your next trip. Thank you.

Good service poor room
The staff were all very helpful however the room itself was poor. It was an unpleasant stay but we toughed it out for two nights. The air conditioner was extremely loud but it was hot so had to leave it on. The temperature could not be adjusted. Couldn't sleep due to the noise. Toilet didn't flush properly, tap was noisy when turned on, shower rail was loose from wall so water sprayed in the wrong direction. Pillow was really high, had sore neck from it. Breakfast was included which offered a small selection of noodles, sausages, scramble... more
Management response from CITINhotelPUDU

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. It was good to know that the staff were helpful but disturbing indeed that the room you were in was not up to the mark. You had mentioned that the aircon was loud, toilet was in poor condition. We do regular servicing for the aircons and are undergoing upgrades to change the shower rail to stainless steel ones which are already fitted in most rooms. Despite all the issues you brought up, it was nice that you appreciated the complimentary Internet. Our location is one of our best features which you too took advantage of and mentioned. Could I request for you to contact the hotel via email if possible and inform us of your room number so that I may personally inspect. We would like to welcome you back so as to try out the room and re-evaluate once more. I did go through the records but could not locate any requests for change of rooms. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We await your return as our esteemed guest on your next trip. Thank you.

Good Hotel
Coming here for a bussiness trip. Room is quite OK, may say that it could be a bit smarter... Convenient location for my business.

We await your return as our esteemed guest on your next trip. Thank you.

Decent budget hotel
The hotel is decent. Cleanliness of towels is something that could be improved since there were stains on some of the towels provided. However, overall, for a budget hotel, it is not bad. The location of the hotel is great in that it is located walking distance from two train stations and the central bus station so it is easy to get around town. Breakfast is also varied and includes both local and western food. Definitely worth considering for a stay in KL if you are after a budget, no-frills hotel.
Management response from CITINhotelPUDU

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. It was a pleasure reading your review and thoughts. We are acessible to many tourist attractions and public transport. We are glad that you liked the variety in the breakfast. We are disappointed that the towels offered were not of our best quality. We have looked into that. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We would be honoured to welcome you back as our esteemed guest in the future and have a look at our rooms. Thank you.

Great Position with obliging staff
Citin Hotel was chosen for a 3 day stay on the 21st April 2009, for its proximity to Chinatown, its budget price and the internet access. All these objectives were met, however, we chose to use Sky Bus from the LCCT which terminated at KL Sentral the rail station, it’s only a few kilometres but taxi drivers have a myriad of excuses why they needed to charge more than they should. A better choice would be use a shuttle service such as Star Shuttle stopping at or near the Puduraya Bus Station in Jalan Pudu - then you are right at the... more

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. It was a pleasure reading your review and thoughts. Your rationale for chosing Citin was it location, bdget price and Internet access. The view of the Twin Towers is truly magnificient. Good to know that the check in process and room condition was perfect, The staff in the cafe shall be informed of your gracious compliment towards them. We have actually begun installing new Stainless Steel Shower Heads in all rooms. We shall look into having a shower mat. Thank you for your suggestion. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We would be honoured to welcome you back as our esteemed guest in the future and have a look at our rooms. Thank you.

very handy for those arriving by bus, step up from youth hostel
As a backpacker, I thought that when in KL I should maybe try a step up as was worried about what youth hostels would be like. This was a good step up to make. We got the bus from Singapore and it stopped right outside the hotel. It is a 10 min walk to the nearest metro stations although you do have 3 stations near you. It is in the middle of china town and near lots of western style food places as well as street vendors for food. Also close to a large market. The hotel has a lovely lobby, the room was small for 3 (one was just a... more

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. This review was informative indeed as we saw your needs through a backpacker. Good to know Citrus was your step up from Youth Hostels and glad that you were not disappointed. You’ve mentioned the locations, its transport possibilities and various food options around the property. There is a lot of hustle and bustle, which is great to be around so as to soak in the tourist atmosphere. The mattress is usually made up for the guest. Maybe it was too early in the day thus the confusion. Apologies for that. Happy to learn you found the room clean and hotel well run. The staff is trained well so as to be of additional service to all of our guests. Most of our packages are bundled in with breakfast. Maybe you had received the unbundled package. We do have a good mix of Asian and Western cuisine. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We would be honoured to welcome you back as our esteemed guest in the future and have a look at our rooms. Thank you

May Give it a Try
I have stayed for 2 nights. I hesitated to come after I'd read reviews here saying there're cockroaches. I am deadly scared of cockroaches, not to mention it's numerous in gang. With such a low price MYR125 per night all inclusive, I can tolerate many things except personal unsafety, uncleaniness. This hotel has met these 2 minimum requirements for me, though not in the first place. I was in the first place given a room on the 3rd floor at the back row. The first thing I did was to inspect any cockroahes or traces of them in the... more
Management response from CITINhotelPUDU

Dear Guest, Greetings from Citin Hotel! We hope this finds you well. Your review was interesting indeed. There were a few issues such as the alleys outside the hotel, which we have no control over, but non-the less, these are your thoughts. After hesitating to come, when you did decide to stay in our hotel, I’m glad to say that we managed to switch your perception. Upon your reason for changing the room, we gave you a room on the 12th floor, which you preferred. We have local channels, AXN, ESPN and Star Movies. We are currently having some reception issues but should be fixed anytime soon. We have identified it as an issue and are rectifying the problem. Our property does stand out in the surrounding thus guests preferring our hotel amongst others. Cockroaches are not an issue in our hotel as we are constantly doing treatment for such issues. Once again, Citin genuinely thank you for your involvement in supporting us to grow from strength to strength. We would be honoured to welcome you back as our esteemed guest in the future and have a look at our rooms. Thank you
