Review: Fairfield by Marriott Kuala Lumpur Jalan Pahang

KL's 15th hotel in the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio is the 186-room Fairfield by Marriott KL Jalan Pahang which opened in December 2021. It is Malaysia's second Fairfield property, and comes after the Fairfield by Marriott Bintulu Paragon in Sarawak, which had opened two years earlier.

Nearby the hotel is the Chow Kit station of the KL Monorail (a 5-minute walk) and Sunway Putra Mall (12-minute walk). This hotel is among the cheapest of Marriott properties in KL, and redemption nights can be booked for just 6,000 to 10,500 points per night

Although the hotel was located on a busy road, I did not find much noise at night. The higher floors are definitely better for quietness.

Breakfast is offered buffet-style at Lesung on the second floor, which offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant staff were attentive and I appreciated their eagerness to recommend me breakfast dishes.

The hotel gym on the first floor is open 24 hours a day and seemed largely unoccupied during my stay.

There is also a laundry area on the same floor for longer-stay guests.

While the standard rooms are small and there is no lounge, the Fairfield by Marriott KL is new, value-for-money, and offers a great breakfast. It's a good option for mattress runs especially with Marriott's global promotions.
