St Giles, can try Opero Hotel also in Southkey.
Actually grab from custom to Southkey, only 5-10mins, can stay any where.

Stay at St Giles, room with the buffet breakfast included. At breakfast time, you might just forget you're not in SG. It's that popular. Especially weekends.

You can Grab to other places near and a little further, like Taman Sentosa (for food), Tebrau (for shopping and food), etc. If you're adventurous enough, can even walk to Taman Sentosa.

How is the buffet breakfast different from standard fare?

No idea, a buffet breakfast is a buffet breakfast for me. I either eat at the hotel if it's included, or eat out if it's not too inconvenient.

Just suggesting the buffet breakfast for you to gauge how popular that place is with SGeans, since you asked "really that popular?".

Edit: It's been quite a while since I was last there. Stopped going since it became too popular as I don't like crowd.

Its really popular cause its like where all the expensive brands are gathered. So if you are the typical sinkie that head to toe cladded in branded goods, midvalley is for you.
It's 1 of the more atas mall

If you are the typical sinkie that likes to dine in expensive franchise restaurants, midvalley is also for u.

One of the problems with hotel buffet is the cheapskate sinkie mentality. My mum would eat at least 3x her usual portion until enough to skip lunch. I would also eat more.

If you need 2 rooms/toilets, better to stay at mosaic condo(iirc also by southkey) . There's a coffeeshop downstairs, food not bad.
There's also another condo nearby. Take grab/phv is minimum fare

Eh this includes domestic travels too ? i.e. JB sentral to KSL ? I thought for cashless it will require manja card if wanna go cashless but then I might not be up to date.

Correction.

Only those who start asking about fares and then start digging into pockets for 5c 10c when they get to the entrance, blocking others behind.
