Most of the reviews here seem to be about afternoon tea as opposed to stays at the hotel. We stayed here for 2 nights and loved every minute. The site is two properties Carcosa and Seri Negara. Carcosa is shut for renovations but is not close enough to the Seri Negara to interfere with a visit. This is a small,... More

We re-visited Carcosa for High Tea 7 months after our first visit; we enjoyed it so much first time around that we were really looking forward to it. This time it was very busy and there was a large group of noisy Australian tourists who were happily shouting across the Veranda to each other which completely killed the ambience. This... More

The Carsosa is a wonderful place to have afternoon tea in Kuala Lumpur. The setting is sublime and the tea is plentiful and delicious. They cater for vegetarians and you can easily while away a few hours on the terrace. Just don't have a big lunch before you go! On our last visit I was especially impressed as they produced... More

British colonial house with classy indoor and rustic outdoor sittings for afternoon tea. We can choose between traditional english tea menu or malaysian menu. The tea selection is modest and contains the ususal items. The quality of pastries served is at best mediocre. Although the waiters are helpful and attentive, it seems that they are not well-trained to serve traditional... More

If you want to experience the type of life at the British Governor's Residence then stay here for a couple of days. Absolutely charming. The service is superb. The staff are eager to please. The food is excellent. The afternoon tea is traditional. The hotel location may not be desirable to some as it is not in the city centre... More

We did not stay at the hotel but went to the Carcosa Seri Negara Hotel for a traditional English afternoon high tea. The hotel is a short taxi ride from central Kuala Lumpur and was the former home of the British High Commissioner. It is now mainly used for corporate functions and weddings. It has five luxury suites and imposing... More

We spent a leisurely couple of hours enjoying afternoon tea on the Verandah, whilst a tropical downpour went on around us. The overall experience was a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of KL, yet only a few minutes drive from the busy city. The old building is lovely, with an interesting history, and exudes old world charm. Service... More

In our experience, luxury hotels in Malaysia have tended to be disappointing. Not so with this one. From the time that I made our reservation, I was impressed by the level of service at the Carcosa. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and check-in was done in our room, which I find always helps me relax, especially when... More

I was invited to attend on a talk in Carcosa Seri Negara reasonly and got to know that this 20 years old hotel soon close its door end of this year. True, this hotel is a little old and tired but the management has done the best to keep up the maintenance and service. The restaurant is still serving the... More
