Most people searching for One World Hotel want three answers before they book: where it sits, whether the five-star label holds, and what breakfast costs. This guide separates what the hotel’s listings state from what the sources disagree on or cannot confirm, and ties each claim to a named platform. The most consistent location claim is the direct connection to 1 Utama shopping centre, which Expedia’s listing describes.

Key facts at a glance
Four points stand out from the platform data:
- Room counts split between 438 (Expedia, Travelocity, Wotif) and 452 (Agoda, Tripadvisor, Trip.com), so the figure needs confirming before you compare this hotel with others.
- Dining counts also differ: four venues on Hotels.com, Travelocity and Wotif, against five restaurants on Tripadvisor.
- Location category scores run from 9.1 on Trivago to 9.5 on Trip.com, with Agoda at 9.3, so the location strength is consistent across platforms that publish breakdowns.
- Four platforms describe the hotel as 5-star, yet none of the sources reviewed supplies an official classification record.
| Label | Value |
|---|---|
| Star rating (as stated in listings) | 5-star (Tripadvisor, Trip.com, HRS, Halalbooking) |
| Location | Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya; some platforms list Kuala Lumpur |
| Adjacent mall | 1 Utama Shopping Centre |
| Transit access (as stated in listings) | Covered walkway to Bandar Utama MRT; five-minute walk per Kayak |
| Room count | Unresolved: 438 (Expedia, Travelocity, Wotif, The Edge Malaysia) vs 452 (Agoda, Tripadvisor, Trip.com) |
| Dining (as stated in listings) | 4 dining venues (Hotels.com, Travelocity, Wotif); Tripadvisor lists 5 restaurants |
| Breakfast buffet hours | 06:30 to 10:30 daily |
| Breakfast price (listing) | MYR 97 adult; MYR 49 child (Travelocity, Wotif) |
| Check-in / check-out | 15:00 / 12:00 (Skyscanner) |
| Last complete renovation | 2014 per HRS; not confirmed by a primary source |
| Guest score | 9.2/10 Trip.com (1,120 reviews); 8.9 Agoda (32,224 reviews) |
What this means: the table separates figures that agree across platforms from those still in conflict, so treat the unresolved rows as a checklist before booking.
Where is One World Hotel located?
The listings place the hotel in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, on the fringe of Kuala Lumpur. Platforms are not uniform: some file it under Kuala Lumpur and others under Petaling Jaya, so the full address matters more than the city name when you search or book.
One World Hotel address
None of the sources reviewed gives a street address for the hotel itself. They anchor it to Bandar Utama and to the adjoining 1 Utama shopping centre, which Tripadvisor calls the world’s 7th largest mall with more than 650 retail outlets, while HRS puts the count at about 600.
Tip: Copy the street address from your booking confirmation rather than a map search result, since no source in this review supplies one.
How to walk from One Utama to One World Hotel
The listings describe the hotel as adjoined to the mall, and Trivago describes a direct covered walkway to 1 Utama and Bandar Utama MRT station. No source gives a walking distance from One Utama to the hotel, so this guide does not state one.
One World Hotel is my GOTO hotel when ever I go KL. Staff are super friendly and the location next to a big mall is an added advantage with hugh selections of food next door.

Getting there by MRT and shuttle
Skyscanner lists an airport shuttle, but the sources reviewed give no fare, timetable, or distance from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. HRS describes a complimentary scheduled shuttle to designated corporate offices and Sunway Lagoon, with no stop list or timetable in the sources reviewed.
Is One World Hotel a 5 star hotel?
Four platforms describe the property as 5-star: Tripadvisor, Trip.com, HRS and Halalbooking. Tripadvisor adds that the hotel is award-winning but does not name the award in its listing copy.
Note: Four platforms agreeing does not settle the question, because the research does not show whether those platforms draw on the same underlying data.
The catch: the label is consistent across listings, but the sources reviewed contain no official classification record. Treat it as a listing claim until the property’s own website confirms the current classification.
How much does a buffet dinner at One World Hotel cost?
The sources reviewed contain no dinner buffet price, and this guide does not supply one. The only buffet price in the sources is for breakfast, which Wotif lists at MYR 97 for adults and MYR 49 for children, served daily from 06:30 to 10:30.
Breakfast price band
- Adult breakfast buffet: MYR 97 (listing)
- Child breakfast buffet: MYR 49 (listing)
- Breakfast hours: 06:30 to 10:30 daily
- Dinner buffet price: not stated in the sources reviewed
Note: Travelocity and Wotif list identical breakfast figures. That shows agreement between two platforms, not confirmation from the hotel’s dining outlets, and prices can differ by booking channel.
Guest feedback is more specific on variety than on price. One Hotels.com review summary cites a wide range of hot and cold international breakfast options across 32 reviews.
The implication: budget for the listed breakfast rate, and treat any dinner cost as unknown until the hotel’s dining outlets confirm it.
Who owns One World Hotel?
The sources reviewed do not name an owner or operator. None of the platforms reviewed states who owns the property, and this guide does not supply a name from memory.
Searches that pair the hotel with Genting do not establish ownership. A search term is a query, not a confirmed ownership statement, and no source reviewed links the hotel to Genting.
Tip: Check the operator’s official website or a regulatory filing for ownership details; a company name on a booking form or legal notice is a stronger signal than any search term.
What to watch: ownership is absent from every source here, so any claim about it should come from a primary document rather than a listing page.
Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths reported
- Spacious rooms, according to the Expedia listing copy.
- Cleanliness at 9.2 and location at 9.3 on Agoda; location at 9.5 on Trip.com.
- A well-equipped, quiet gym, cited in five reviews on Hotels.com.
- Direct connection to One Utama and proximity to public transport, which Kayak’s review summary says guests consistently praise.
Trade-offs reported
- Tripadvisor notes that some guests report soundproofing and water-pressure issues, and that some feel value does not justify the premium rate.
- Kayak’s review summary says pool opinions are mixed, with some guests mentioning renovation needs or limited hours.
- A single Skyscanner guest review mentions dirty chandeliers and a wish that the pool stayed open until 10pm; the hotel responded that the feedback had been shared with management.
Warning: The room count is unresolved. Four sources give 438 rooms and three give 452, so confirm the figure before comparing this hotel with others.
The trade-off: the strengths cluster around location, rooms and cleanliness, while the complaints cluster around noise, water pressure and pool hours.
Who the hotel suits
The listing details point to three traveler groups.
- Travelers who want direct MRT access: Trivago describes a covered walkway to Bandar Utama MRT station, and Kayak puts the station at a five-minute walk.
- Shoppers and diners who want to be near 1 Utama Shopping Centre: the hotel is adjoined to the mall, and four dining venues are listed, including Cinnamon Coffee House and Zuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant.
- Guests who prioritise fitness and wellness: Trip.com lists a 24-hour gym, and The Edge Malaysia describes the Thann Sanctuary Spa as Malaysia’s first Thann spa, alongside a Wellness Centre with four tennis courts.
Event hosts fall outside these three groups, but The Edge Malaysia reports that the Imperial Ballroom spans 3,100 sq m. The hotel’s executive, Ho, described it this way:
Our ballroom, when we say we have state-of-the-art equipment, we actually mean it.
Ho, hotel executive, quoted in The Edge Malaysia
The pattern: the listed strengths line up with transit, mall and wellness needs, and the sources say little about budget-led stays.
