i plan to travel to KL in the end of this year...its 30 & 31...should i book hotel first or not?can you suggest me any hotel to stay there...thanks

Yes book first because its public and school holiday. Please state your requirement.

it's better for u to book earlyer bcoz every hotel will increase they price once the date nearly to yearend.
I can suggest u go to Citin Hotels in Puduraya. I stay there before for holiday, is kind of budget hotel with room rate aroung RM99/night.
I like it because the location is strategy enough. it's located near to LRT station, bus station and also bukit bintang which is the most happening street.

By the way, puduraya is under renovation now. And it's not really near bukit bintang.
Have to walk far away to reach.

There are many other hotels located along bukit bintang. Location wise should be a better choice.

I know there are penty of hotel nearby bukit bintang in better location but the hotel around there quite expensive.
I recomment this Citin pudu hotel is beside the price much more cheaper and rooms are new and clean, actually the location is not too bad which is jst 10 minute walk to china town, and to reach bukit bintang is walkable around 18 minutes walk, and a long the road u can find plenty of interesting place such as some plaza and restaurants

hi lyn members, i will be travel to kl next year march end till april for 6 days 5 nights trip.. by the time i reach kl sentral will be around the evening, where should i stay, any suggestions like petaling street? i have not been to kl previously.. thanks!

The Cube, beside Berjaya Hotel is not bad, though a small room, but comfortable enuf and it's a good place when U cant find a hotel during weekends, charges from RM90 only if not mistaken.

Hey guys, I'll be going down to kl to meet my friends but I'm hesitate to stay at their house

so can sifus, please recommend me some budget hotel for 1 person only which is near to any train station/ near to kl central/ near lowyat plaza that region

Hi,

Have anyone stayed in this inn before? Can't seem to find any reviews regarding this inn.

Budget Inn (No.74-76) Kuala Lumpur,
74B Jalan Alor Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur 50200

Thanks.

Hello all,

I got trouble choosing these hotels in Kuala Lumpur. The purpose of my stay is to celebrate my anniversary with my fiancee and we will be travelling to Kuala Lumpur for 3D2N.

- Renaissance
- Impiana KLCC
- Novotel

Budget: RM250 per night.

I had read many reviews from Trip Advisor. Honestly, they are not helping. Some say good and bad, even worst. I really don't want my high expectation of these hotel to be drain away due to bad experience.

If that's the case, I will rather spend the MYR250 per night on somewhere else. Decent stay such as Sentral and Cititel Express and Enjoy good buffet and food.

What do you all think?

EDIT: No Comment from others. Adui.

I have been to all of your hotel choices.

Renaissance : Very big hotel with amenities and great swimming pool. However, service in Renaissance are up and down, sometimes great and sometimes slow. 5 Star Hotel. I never had bad experience with Renaissance KL.

Impiana : Nice boutique alike. Its more towards traditional rather than modern. Small and pool get very crowded when occupancy rates are higher because their infinity pool are small. 4 Star

Novotel : Its business oriented hotel. Great business facilities. Room are smaller. 4 star

My choice : For anniversary and food at hotel, I would choose Renaissance. Very great place to relax and romance. Review for Renaissance on Tripadvisor getting bad because they compared it with same standard 5* hotel like Westin, Grand Millenium or even Traders/Mandarin Oriental. Try to search great deal at Streetmart for Renaissance. An upgrade voucher are very good to get room upgrade. They even upgrade me to Renoir suites after combining Marriott Gold and upgrade voucher coupons.

P/s : Try to get West wing instead of East wings. The ambience are nicer. Btw, how high your expectation are?

Renaissance: The swimming pool is really attractive.

I don't expect to be treated like a King, but I expect the basics of 5 Star Hotel (if I staying at a 5 Star) - Really Clean and spotless Room and good customer service.

I will be flying across the sea to KL to celebrate the anniversary, so I don't want to disappointed with the amount I paid. If I know I will be disappointed, I don't mind staying in a decent budget hotel like Sentral and spent the money on gift and good food. Like people always quote, it is easier to get disappointed if you are expecting more.

That's what I mean.

If your expectation just like 5 star, I guess you would never disappointed (Don't compare with luxury 5 star ya). The ambiance, environment really suit your needs. How much you need to pay for Renaissance? You can have romantic dinner at Med@Marche too. Last weekend, I bought voucher from Myvoucheronline and he throw me some upgrade voucher. I use them straight away after some negotiation with duty manager.

Myvoucheronline definitely has good deal! Thanks.

Since you have first-hand experience staying at Renais Suit, what is the difference compare to West Wing Deluxe Room? Bigger Bathtub?

If you want to find a place to stay in penang.

for service apartment, house or guest house. Pls contact:

Ms Looi 016-4778482 or email to info@sattcle.com.

Thanks

I have been to WW Deluxe, WW Jr Suite and also WW Renoir Suite. The different, Deluxe smaller (normal hotel room), Junior suite have living room while Renoir located at club level, guest have access to exclusive lounge, room bigger than junior suite because got extra dining room. For bathroom, junior suite and deluxe are the same while renoir got corner jacuzzi tab with extra luxury amenities.

My advice : Buy voucher from LYN, reserved your date at Renaissance Prestige Plus. If you get extra voucher for upgrading, don't state that you want to upgrade when you make reservation. Because, if you tell them when reserved the room, you will get junior suite at East Wing instead of West Wing. Ask the reception about upgrading when you check In. If you have any Marriot Reward programme either Gold or Platinum, you will be upgraded 2 category of the room (in this case, you will get Renoir suite).
