Swiss-Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur Review

Swiss-Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur Review

Swiss-Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur is strategically located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur between bustling Bukit Bintang and colorful Chinatown. Set in the heart of the Golden Triangle, the Swiss Garden Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia is within convenient access to major shopping centers.



We arrived at 6am and the room was ready for us at 7am, the lovely girl on the desk directed us to street hawker area opposite for breakfast while they made up the room and this introduced us to the best area for authentic/cheap food for our stay (keep a look out for the duck, they sell a lot of this so its fresh and tasty).

Rooms in Swiss-Garden Hotel were clean other than the usual bit of mould in the shower tiles. Good air-cond that you could actually set and get the temp right! Room service was quick with filling the ice bucket and our teenager loved the banana splits.



Our family was coming back from Singapore in the evening, and we settled in very nicely into the Swiss-Garden Hotel. The parking was a little cramped but multi-leveled, the rooms were nice and spacious. The buffet was pretty nice in the morning especially the orange juice. The great thing about this hotel is its location in downtown and being able to reach most things

The guestrooms are complete with room service, air-condition, television, room deposit box, mini bar, telephone, tea and coffee making facilities and daily newspaper.

The JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur Review

The JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur Review

The JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur is one of nine distinctive JW Marriotts around the world. JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur offering an unparalleled dining experience with 13 upscale restaurants offering fine dining with an exotic array of culinary delights. Guests staying over at JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur are given the privilege to charge their Feast Village bills to their hotel room accounts.



The five star deluxe hotel anchors the popular Bintang Walk and provides a distinctive level of luxury and comfort with the impeccable service that is Marriott's hallmark. All these locations are conveniently linked together in one massive complex, offering convenience to all guests. There is also a Business Centre that provides a full range of business services.





Leisure and recreation facilities are of top international standards, including a state-of-the-art gymnasium and the award-winning Starhill Spa, with more than 18 dining options within the hotel premise and at the Feast Village in Starhill Gallery.

The decoration, the staff and the location of this hotel is great. Connected to the Star Hill Gallery and Feast Village on the basement, 5 minutes to Lot 10 and you are surrounded by shopping centres such as Sungai Wang, BB Plaza and further up to your left, you are into Berjaya Times Square. Opposite the hotel is the newly opened Pavillion, a very clean, new and spacious shopping centre.

The hotel is located at a central location and almost all shopping centres, restaurants etc are at walking distance. The services that the hotel offers are excellent, the staff were very friendly. It is connected with the Ritz through a designer shopping area over several floors, so its always an attractive scene. There is an underground food court, hosting a wide range of cuisines and live music at the bar.



The hotel offers in-room massage services for excellent prices, so you could relax after a long day of sightseeing and shopping. The standard of the rooms is excellent!! everything a person needs, internet access, great tv channels, toiletries, bathrobe, slippers, safe, hair dyer, iron, complimentary tea/coffee/ water bottles/ biscuits etc.


Another thing is the traffic in front of the hotel at peak hours. Don't try to take a taxi from the entrance of your hotel because you will still be at the same spot about a while! Overall, we had a great stay and will definitely stay at this hotel again in my next trip to KL.

The Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur Review

The Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur Review

The 5 Star Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur, a choice hotel for discerning travellers to Malaysia, is a modern hotel that exudes the warmth of Asian hospitality while providing you with unparalleled luxury. Located within easy commuting distance of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and a stone's throw away from the business hub and shopping districts, the Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur is right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's famous Golden Triangle. To cater to your business or social events, the Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur's two ballrooms and twelve function rooms offer the perfect venue.



Recently had two visits at the Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur and enjoyed the Orchid Club room. I would recommend this additional expense as the rooms and staffs on this floor are excellent. Paid a bit extra for Orchid Club and it is worth every cent. As usual, the staffs at this hotel were wonderful especially Orchid Club staff.



The room was wonderful and had a great view of the street activity, Sungei Wang Mall entrance and the hotel pool. The breakfast selection was great but the eggs, sausages etc. were not hot. The gym was one of the best my husband has encountered at any hotel. the Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur staffs were all great.



The Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur is in an excellent location being very close to all the shopping centres and the monorail. Within easy access of Kuala Lumpur Airport, the Grand Plaza Parkroyal hotel is also the ideal base from which to visit numerous Kuala Lumpur sights including Merdeka Square, with the world's tallest flagpole, Masjid Jamek, Kuala Lumpur's oldest mosque, Chinatown, the Lake Gardens and the nearby Orchid Garden. I would recommend to anyone wanting a convenient stop over by all the major malls and monorail.
