This was my second stay at WOLO Kuala Lumpur because of its great location and beautiful interior design. I travel to KL quite often for both work and leisure, so I was happy to book here again.
However, this stay started with a disappointing experience at check-in. I booked a double room with a large bed and windows through Agoda, but when I arrived, the receptionist (Hasni) informed me that my room was a Copper Room with no windows and two single beds.
I politely explained the issue and asked for help, but instead of trying to assist, she blamed the mistake on Agoda and the third-party booking system. I mentioned that I paid extra for the double room, but my request was mostly ignored and it felt like she just wanted us to accept the wrong room and move on.
For a 4-star hotel, this kind of service is quite disappointing. Regardless of whether the issue came from Agoda or another third party, I am still a guest staying at your hotel.
I had to contact Agoda support myself, and Nadirah from Agoda was helpful in addressing the issue. I also called WOLO’s hotline to make a complaint. Thankfully, Naz from WOLO was extremely helpful and understanding. He managed to resolve the problem, changed our room, and clearly explained the situation regarding Agoda.
As a frequent traveler who has already reached Agoda Diamond status, it’s difficult for guests to know when there might be miscommunication between booking platforms and hotels.
Aside from this issue, the hotel’s location is excellent. If it wasn’t for Naz stepping in to help, I would have cancelled my stay and moved to another hotel.
Would I stay here again? I’ll have to think about it.
