The mid-range, 235-room Capitol Hotel is a well-maintained, largely contemporary spot close to many shops, restaurants, nightlife, and tourist attractions in the Bukit Bintang area of Kuala Lumpur. Some rooms are a bit dated in terms of decor, while others are more modern, though all come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free toiletries. Unfortunately, some guests have reported noise issues. There’s no swimming pool on-site, but guests can use the outdoor pool at their sister property Federal Hotel. A restaurant serves buffet breakfasts every morning, which receives mostly positive feedback. Free Wi-Fi and free nearby parking are available, as is a small fitness center. It's worth considering the more modern Ramada Suites Kuala Lumpur City Centre, which has kitchenette-equipped rooms, a pool, and a bigger gym.

Scene
Bustling city hotel that attracts tourists and business travelers with its central location
Travelers to the Capitol Hotel are a mix of tourists and business travelers, all drawn to the convenient location for exploring the city. The property is largely contemporary, if a bit uninspired, with mostly neutral-tone furnishings, and some pleasant accents of potted plants and locally inspired artwork. Tiki torches in the lobby and restaurant feel a bit out of place, though atmospheric. Rooms vary in style and modernity, and some could use an update. Nevertheless, the cheap rates and easy access to a multitude of restaurants, shops, and sights make this is a suitable pick for travelers wanting to explore this area.
Location
In central Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur's shopping and entertainment district
Guests agree the location is the best part of staying at this hotel. Capitol Hotel is in Bukit Bintang, the shopping and entertainment district of Kuala Lumpur. The famous Low Yat Plaza that specializes in electronic products is a two-minute walk from the hotel. A 7-Eleven convenience store is just around the corner and there are many other restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. Family-friendly activities also abound. The Berjaya Times Square Theme Park is an eight-minute walk away. It’s also easy to access farther sights, as the Bukit Bintang monorail station is a five-minute walk from the hotel and Raja Chulan monorail station a 14-minute walk away.
Rooms
Rooms with varying style, AC, minibars, and kettles
Rooms at Capitol Hotel are clean and comfortable, though they vary in their degree of style. Some rooms are unmemorable and a bit dated, with brown carpeting, maroon headboards and matching bedskirts, basic wood furniture -- some with blue tops -- and no artwork. Upgraded units, meanwhile, are part of the 10 Room designation, meaning they're on the upper floors and come with more modern decor consisting of wood or gray-carpeted floors, clean-lined (though still simple) wood furniture, and hip artwork. Regardless, each room has a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, free Wi-Fi, a minbar, wardrobe with safe and ironing facilities, desk, and coffee- and tea-making facilities. Bathrooms are mostly contemporary, featuring either showers, shower/tub combos, or separate tubs and showers. Hairdryers and free toiletries are provided. Note that both smoking and non-smoking rooms are available.
Features
Restaurant serving buffet breakfasts, free Wi-FI, and small gym
Capitol Hotel has both a restaurant and a cafe, though most guests choose to dine at one of the numerous eateries in the surrounding area. International buffet breakfast with some local options are available, and included in some room rates. There are no pool or spa, but a small gym has a couple of cardio machines and free weights. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and there’s free parking nearby.
