We already knew the [DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur](http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/malaysia/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-kuala-lumpur-KULDTDI/) is clearly one (or the) best hotel deal in Kuala Lumpur (and maybe in Asia) if you have a modest amount of hotel points.

Cash rates at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur usually hover around $100 but the generous Cash & Points rate is just 4,000 Hilton HHonors points and MYR 110. MYR 110 are just $26!

As a Hilton Gold or Diamond you will get access to the Club Lounge in the 34th floor. The lounge serves breakfast (you can also eat the full breakfast downstairs) and a generous happy hour with snacks and alcohol (alcohol is VERY expensive in KL).

5 years after the hotel opening the rooms have started to show some wear and tear now and aren't too special. If you get upgraded to a suite the rooms suddenly seem really impressive though.

Now the Doubletree also has a pool and a pretty well equipped gym. The Intermark building (which is it part of) houses a number of restaurant, several bars and good third wave coffee shop ([called Grizzly](https://foursquare.com/v/grizzly/53ee377c498e7cdbf1a62c6d)). It's hard to get out of the building with so many options!

As in my [prior review from two years ago](http://www.mightytravels.com/2013/05/doubletree-by-hilton-kuala-lumpur-review/) I really liked the lounge and the whole the hotel. Not much has changed thankfully.

Since I am a Hilton Gold (not a Hilton Diamond anymore) I used the Free Regular Internet which was horrible - it did work most of the time but the throughput was often minimal. I'm not sure that would have been better with the Premium Internet as it uses the same infrastructure. I just walked down to Grizzly which has a snappy Internet connection.

I found the service staff (especially at the Executive Lunge) to be impeccable the room refreshing and the food pretty good.

At check out I felt really bad - it was just too cheap. 21,000 Hilton Honors points and $200 for a whole week?! I value HHonors points at about 0.7 cents - so that s about $350 for a whole week incl. breakfast and generous snacks plus alcohol every day - simply incredible!

You can book the [DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur](http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/malaysia/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-kuala-lumpur-KULDTDI/) here.
