I’ve stayed at VE Hotel whenever I visit KL, and this was my first trip back after a couple of years.
We booked a 2-room suite this time, and overall the space was comfortable and very clean. Housekeeping standards are still well maintained, and cleanliness across the hotel is commendable. The front desk team was helpful, friendly, and prompt, which made the stay smooth. The free shuttle to Mid Valley remains extremely useful and convenient.
However, I did notice a few changes compared to my previous stays.
The breakfast buffet was moderate. While there was variety, the taste seemed to have declined. The chicken rendang, in particular, looked dry and unfortunately tasted like it had been reheated or recycled.
There were also some noticeable cost-saving measures. Amenities provided were minimal, and for a 2-room suite with two bathrooms, the amenities were not proportionately stocked. We had to share across both bathrooms. The reusable rubber slippers definitely need reconsideration. They were uncomfortable and did not feel hygienic.
In the suite’s kitchen area, a medium-sized dustbin would be helpful, as the small bins filled up quickly and led to trash overflow. Additionally, adding rubber padding under the dining chairs could help reduce noise when they are moved, especially for families staying in suites.
I genuinely enjoy staying at VE Hotel and will return again because I love the location and overall comfort. I just hope the standards that made this hotel special won’t be lowered in the name of cost saving, especially when the room rates remain similar to before.
