We just did a 2- day visit and We tried the Dorset Regency Hotel which is just at the end of Jalan Imbi. .

Hi Faun, did you drive there ? will there be carpark and what is the rate? Is it near to Bejaya Time Sq ? tks.

Yes, we drove. The path leading to the carpark is very narrow so be very careful. It is free. Paid SIN120 to include 2 breakfast. You can choose to exclude and it's 100. We paid for breakfast for kids at MYR19.90 per head. We use http://www.booking.com.

It's near Berjaya Times Square. Maybe 15 mins walk. But very hot that day so we drive.

Don't know about the renovation but we were there on 5-6Dec and it was neat and quite classy. The lift has security and only your card key can activate the lift to go up. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Their room can stay 2A 2C with 2 twin beds. Kids stay for free as long as they're under 12 or look like under 12 :lol:

Booked a superior room at Berjaya Times Square hotel but they did not have the room in tower B which has Internet access, so they upgraded us to a deluxe room without extra charge !

The good thing about this hotel is its good location. The price is a little higher but the rooms are huge. There is a bedroom, living room with small dining area and a kitchenette. The bathroom is really huge.
As my kids are teenagers, this hotel is just right for us.

For those going to the Cosmo theme park at Times Square, please remember to bring your Popular Card as you can get 20% discount on all tickets. Beware of the DNA Mixer, my ds usually have very high threshold said it was sick.

Oh....i was at the cosmo theme park few years back,
when i looked at the DNA Mixer and the roller coaster, it already made me sick, without going thru the trial.......

The DNA Mixer was scary. Tried it once and I think I died a few times while riding it... :!:

Anyone else tried it?

just came back on 18 Dec from a 3 nights stay in KL. Stayed Parkroyal hotel Deluxe Double Double rooms. Quite spacious room and good breakfast varieties. The location is great, walking distance to Pavilion, Times Square, Sungei Wang etc. Free shuttle to KLCC.


My only complant of KL is the one hour distance from LCCT airport and the taxi fare is really expensive. Paid RM130 from hotel to airport by blue MPV cab, From aiport is RM167 by Van (purchase voucher at airport). BTW, there were 4 adults and 2 young children and stroller, one big luggage and a few hand carries. Probably I may consider to drive there for the next trip.

Went to Midvalley shopping centre, Pavilion, Sungei Wang for shopping. Many shops is offering at least 10% discount. I bought B & L contact lenses at RM75 per box!

hi, plan to go for a 5D4N trip to KL with my 8-yr old girl and my mum. Thus trying to see what is an appropriate hotel to stay? Major consideration will have to be the location has to be in a relatively safe neighbourhood, convenient access to eating places, relatively central and good access to major shopping centres. Intend to do a 1-day trip to Genting also.


My colleague told me that Swiss Garden KL is not bad. Would like to seek your kind comments The below is their website, comments on Tripadvisor seems reasonable too.

Any other hotels you can recommend too? Intend to take budget airline so will be at LCCT in KL. Is there any direct bus shuttle to the KL hotels? Or KLIA express is the better alternative?

Thanks

Rgds.

Hi not sure if I’m late to reply you on the hotel. I heard that the room is small.


Last Dec I stayed 3 nights in Parkroyal hotel which is only mins walk to Pavilion shopping centre, Lot10 etc, don’t think I can find a better hotel with reasonable price and close to the shoppings. It has shuttle service to KLCC. 2A2C stayed in the Deluxe Double Double room which has 2 Queen size beds.
