The hotel is located only about 30 minutes taxi or train ride from the airport. It is in a mall, so if you forgot something, you can pick it up there. We could see the twin towers from our hotel room. Check in was smooth. They all spoke English. We were able to see everything we came to see in a day and a half due to the location. The rooms were clean and everything was in working order. The breakfast buffet had much to be desired. Many trays were empty and the selection was not as we had expected. I would stay here again on any other trip I make to KL.
Location.
The breakfast was mediocre at best.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : You can hire a taxi to take you to all the sights. At the airport when you go for a taxi, you purchase the ride at the taxi counter, so there is no haggling with the driver. I found that very pleasant. We then used him to take us around for 4 hours and he was a wealth of knowledge. Then he dropped us at the Chinese market.

At first I didn't expect much from the Cititel since it's a budget hotel and we were staying at the superior room, me and my husband with 2 kids. But the stay came out quite lovely mainly because of its really good location and nice staff. I think it is really convenient for people with children because you can just go down to the mall to eat or buy diapers when you need them. You can even go down to have a good shop when the kids are sleeping. I will consider to stay at Cititel again next time when I visit KL.
- Perfect location. Just above Mid Valley shopping mall. Short driving distance to One Utama, Sunway Lagoon and Bukit Bintang cause it's right in the middle.
- Clean rooms, friendly staff, and reasonably nice buffet breakfast.
Nothing particular except for the room size. It's a bit too small.

Citadel is an easy option for quick stay in Kuala Lumpur. It's clean, efficient, well-located and the staff are pleasant enough. For shoppers its very convenient as it is attached to the mall,but for those looking for a unique KL experience, this wouldn't be the hotel to choose.
great location with easy access to train (including KL sentral to airport), the midvalley megamall and to Bangsar
breakfast buffet was unimpressive. all the food was cold and tired.
- Nightlife Tip : Head to the suburb of Bangsar for a vibrant taste of KL nightlife. Plenty of restaurants and 24 hour mamaks (coffee shops) to choose from.
