which bus from larkin go to 11 @ century?

 

[dede1217]

u can go to jb bus interchange, take causeway link bus, one person is 1.50RM . If you have more ppl, is better to take a meter cab for around 5 RM

 

[zhiwei1984]

jb bus interchange = to larkin or kotaraya
or city square

Stayed at their following rooms before:
- Standard (16m2) - Very small room
- Superior (26m2) - Better room, with additional 10RM more per night
- Deluxe (26m2) - Twin bed + single bed (For 3 ppl)

Would recommend superior room if u got 2 person
Breakfast come around 8.30am, else the food wont be refilled after 9.30 am lol.
Book from hotels.com, can apply 10% discount code
Last month went to stay, cost around 49 sgd for standard room, 52 sgd for superior room, 58 sgd for deluxe room.

the one just beside the malaysia checkpoint paiseh
But waiting time is VERY LONG, think 30 min then one bus come.
Only taken bus back from ksl, not from city square, coz normally will take cab to ksl for 5 RM BY METER

30 min then one bus come=very long lol bus no s1?

 

[dede1217]

dont think got number ....
coz only noticed their buses is write their destination at the front of the bus.
Like permas jaya, terbau, danga bay

That time took the bus from ksl, the bus will wait until the bus is almost full then depart, is around 25 minutes or more

The Causeway Link yellow bus is S1, whereas the bus in the second last bay will display KSL sign - can just ask the driver before boarding.

Waiting time is heng/sway la. So far the bus has been at the bay when I got there, then waited in the bus for about 10 to 15mins before it moved off.

That bus station is JB Sentral, between JB CIQ and City Square.

Coming back... it's normally the entrance that has a Causeway Link counter outside. So far so good, it's always been there for me.

Alighting point may be different sometimes due to driver and/or traffic condition.

 

[dede1217]

the bus from ksl will go to holiday inn, then danga bay mall then will reach their interchange at the malaysia custom there
Duration is around 15 minutes + have to let ppl board + alight

However, if you take cab, it will be ksl, then drive to pelangi and then straight to city square mall. Is shorter. around 8 minutes.

Back from 11@Century last night. Superior room on 2nd floor.
Very loud pounding music from nearby karaoke nightly till 3.00 AM.
No sleep until after 3 AM when the karaoke close shop.
Try to change room to Higher floor but reception say none available.
So if want to stay here, make sure very high floor. I won't recommend the hotel.

I stayed in the hotel last year on the 8th floor. The bass from the night club was distinct but it was not unbearable with the curtains drawn.

 

[dede1217]

I stayed before almost 6 floors lol...
Been there for 6x liao .
Once I stayed at level 6 , but have to climb stairs, coz that time really many people checked-in around 5pm. Then the lift is really very slow
Would recommend ppl to book from agoda or hotels.com, coz is cheaper than direct website booking.
Would recommend superior room, around 4 sgd more per room one night as compared to standard room. Standard room size is 16 and superior room is around 22-26m2.
Some of the rooms have pillar walls inside the room to support the building.
Have encountered once, and requested for a change.
Have also kana room with air - con failure for deluxe room, hence requested for a change in room

Check with you is there any carpark and swimming pool in the Century hotel?

I didn't see any swimming pool in their website and also car park. Where do you park when you stay there? Is it safe to park outside the hotel?

 

[dede1217]

There is an open area car park beside the hotel, however, you have to pay 5RM. You can redeem it from the reception if I not wrong.
There is no swimming pool nor gym. There is only 10 levels.
Breakfast not much things to eat, except nasi lemak, no sausages or hash brown Breakfast food would be gone around 9.30am, and they seldom replenish

 

[surpize]

Check out Bliss... like e nice decor.
Diff rm Diff theme. They will let u choose durin chk in.

Carpark are road side parkin guarded by security...

 

[dede1217]

Bliss is located at around Pelangi area.
Think not close to ksl or city square
So will rather chosen Century Hotel, just one minute walk to ksl mall
