This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

You do the best reviews by far - you don't just regurgitate PR or anything like that. Keep it up!

[@tfft]

Thanks very much for that and thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@luizgustavolima]

Loved Shangri La in KL! Old charm and refined! Loved your review of " Ruma" and it " has it!!

[@new2melbtango]

Glad you were able to stay here. My wife and I stayed here in July 2022 for 4 nights and we loved it!! The pool was great and the room was exactly what we asked for.

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching & Happy New Year 🎉

[@rogierpost1]

Hi Kevin, Short time viewer, first time replier. I love your chanel. Your style of reviewing I find to be consice but comprehensive and laid back. Truly well done. Based on your review I stayed in the Ruma recently. Wonderfull hotel. Tranquil atmosphere, beautifully designed and excellent facilities. Loved the breakfast. Thank you for reviewing this property which I probably otherwise would not have chosen to stay at.

[@tfft]

Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@denisesommer-roque3169]

Another great video, great background music at just the right volume and the filming of especially the room is so wonderful, you have a great eye for detail! Impressive breakfast buffet, would be hard to make up your mind what to choose early in the morning. Imagine checking out what the content is of every jar 😵‍💫😅

[@tfft]

Oh I certainly did! Never had a fig, macadamia and chia yogurt parfait before haha. Thanks as always for the support 🙏🏻

[@anteros37]

Gorgeous, can’t wait to stay there next ❤

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@chuakoh1497]

Thanks for the walk through. Very nice hotel and one of the few that entices me to want to stay there just watching your video.

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@susanyeung4165]

Awesome review. I pretty much have watch all of your SE Asia hotel reviews since we are going there in March. Still can't decide where to stay in KL lol. So far we have Grand Hyatt KL booked but it might change based on your other KL hotel reviews. Looking forward to your next video!

[@tfft]

My guess is you’ll keep your booking at Grand Hyatt (and be happy you did 😉) Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@baliwalknshops1517]

Well its really good to know all about this thanks for sharing

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@cspeng63]

Love the soundtrack chosen for this video and impartial review. Being a Malaysian I would prefer this modern style hotel, a lesser known brand. It feels intimate yet not forbidding.

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🩴

[@spenym14]

I looked up the track, it’s called Garden of Dreams by Prashant Naidu. The guy recorded all the sound’s himself. Cool track. I’d also like to say, I discovered your channel recently and what a great find. I love your honesty and the lack of sponsorships and also the hotel is stunning.

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@Macvoon]

Absolutely love the review! I'm going to check in early next month. Have always wanted to try out the property and your review certainly helps. Can't wait

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@danishkhan-jp1wh]

Love you and miss you KL ❤️ Thanks a lot flip flop for bringing great vlogs from my dear KL 😒❤️

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@danishkhan-jp1wh]

@@tfft 👍

[@iAxianguy]

We love KL too and Hakka also a must go for everytime we go to KL 🙂The Ruma looked great will surely give it a try 👍🙏🙂

[@tfft]

Had me some Hakka a little over a week ago. I’ll now survive for another few months 😅

[@mafkrimnra8084]

Great review I been wanting to go here now I can’t to go 😊

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@alexandor.trippin87]

If you find yourself back in Malaysia, please give EQ hotel a stay. I would say they're far and away the best hotel in KL.

[@tfft]

Will check it out. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@ismylifbrahim6212]

Malaysia not only has attractive hotels, but also ANB is great, and the facilities are very luxurious at reasonable prices.

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@normhanson981]

Liked and subbed , I’m in KL for a few weeks, strictly budget though as I’m away for 9 months.

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@khan8098]

Hey Kevin, just started watching your channel. You think you'd also be reviewing hotels and resorts in the Middle East? Your videos caught my eye as I love how you review everything and give an honest, yet critical, opinion and I'd like to know how some of the resorts are in the region before I shell out the big bucks. Thanks!

[@tfft]

Welcome to the channel! I have a place holder trip at the end of next year which will likely bring me to Oman, Dubai and perhaps the Red Sea Project depending on final opening dates. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@denisesommer-roque3169]

Thanks

[@KintsugiJoe]

2nd!! Yay... Well at least thats what the count said when I saw it :)

[@tfft]

A respectable result 😂 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@shin267]

You should also try hotel stripes! Awesome hotel

[@tfft]

Ironically I cancelled a night at Stripes and switched to RuMa 😂

[@kubsang]

Thanks ❤

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@tmyers2526]

Hi there. Fantastic video! Just one question. You mentioned your favourite restaurant is close by but didn't catch the name. Pakka? Thanks!

[@tfft]

Hakka Restaurant on Jl. Raja Chulan, just behind Pavilion. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@amardeepkhosla2578]

Re canaries and mines: mining had - and still has - a significant role in Malaysia/ Malaya. It's not so surprising that a hotel (especially this particular hotel) would honor that history. But, you'd have to know and care to appreciate the reference. Otherwise, a great review like most of your work 🙏🏽

[@tfft]

Thanks very much 🙏🏻

[@mnm5037]

Luv the room design if u appreciate architectural..the bfast can be improve thou not that much selection but seems to have quality ones..

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@accomvoyage]

The hotel feels empty in your video. I will go KL at the end of this year and booked their suite to celebrate the New Year countdown, hopefully to have a good experience 😀

[@tfft]

I shoot early in the morning purposely to avoid other guests. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@zeshamachdoem]

Hi I hope you answer my question. So with breakfast, do they have both buffet and ala carte? Does the ala carte cost extra?

[@tfft]

Pretty sure I spoke specifically about it in the video. The a la carte menu was not extra when I was there.

[@keyon1983]

Hi Kevin, Thx for your video. In the description, I found the term "StA" for the inclusion. Can you advise me with a full name of "StA" and what it means?

[@tfft]

Subject to availability. Thanks for watching 🩴

[@kirstencandy468]

I would have liked a review of the bed. Was it firm or soft etc. please do rate them or mention that in your videos

[@tfft]

Bed reviews are coming up in my Mexico coverage next month.

[@SpeakSpark.]

Great review as always. By any chance, do you think the food they served is halal? or Halal based? If I may suggest, any chance you could include a halal comment in your videos? That would be greatly appreciated

[@tfft]

With 99% confidence I can say that any upscale hotel in Malaysia will have, at the very least, Halal options. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@MrSpadeSoldier]

Were there any iron & board avail in the rooms?

[@tfft]

Can't remember the last time a room of mine didn't have it. Surely available if not already in the room.

[@zaid869]

In this review you mentioned your favourite restaurant in KL. Could you please write the name in the comments as I can’t quite hear it right.

[@tfft]

Hakka Restaurant, just behind Pavilion Mall.

[@leemarvingaye4506]

Sunken front desk means employee looking at crotch level when guest register in

[@tfft]

You’re eye level with the staff when you’re sitting down (which you would be). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@nabeelmasoodworld4150]

Let's meet and make a KZbin video with u at sunway pyramid

[@tfft]

Nice Batik Air flight 😉 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@jonnieinbangkok]

A very nice room but a little form over function in a couple places. I've never heard KL described as a foodie haven, or Malay as a great cuisine, but whatever.

[@tfft]

*whispers* you probably haven’t heard it because you refuse to believe anything that exists outside of Thailand may be worthwhile 🤣

[@MrSafazza]

Of course there will be wear n tear, its a hotel

[@tfft]

Umm, ok lol

[@visittavee7773]

Do not like the bed too low .

[@tfft]

I'm sure some shorter people do! lol

[@luizgustavolima]

Also stayed in Trader's and it's wonderful views! Totally in tune with your perspective concerning free minibars like those in Ruma!!

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
