KL Trip

I am going KL on 27-30.

Any recommendation where to shop??

Staying enar Berjaya Times Square

 

[kopfowler]

Berjaya times sqaure is a shopping complex by it self...
Neraby there is Bukit Bintang Area..with Sg. Wang Plaza (budget shopping) with Parkson, Lot 10 (Isetan), Pavillion (Parkson Premier)...etc...
Makan can have it at Jalan Alor..evening more food than day time...

 

[khee]

best thing i like to do in KL is to stay in 5 star hotel n rot in it. KL 5star hotel is cheaper than SG.

which ones would you recommend?

 

[tomicaguy]

A basic room per night in a 5 star hotel, including taxes, start from RM350+ onwards. (S$150+)

The above is for online bookings. Not sure about tour packages.

I am sure not everyone is willing to spend that amount of money. Heh.

 

[khee]

which ones would you recommend?

Esp weekend rate is cheaper becaz most ppl who go KL r on biz...

Recently book, Ritz Carlton at RM399++ include breakfast... Sheraton got pay 2 nite get 1 nite free... but no breakfast... Hilton is abt RM400-500... their breakfast is damp solid...

5 star hotels are easily US$200 and above anywhere else...

Forget about KL Plaza.. where did you get this place from? Unless there is major changes, there is virtually nothing there now I believe. Was there in Dec, only few shops and few offices are open. The rest, all shifted out.

Petaling street is closest to your hotel.. your list of places to go, except for 8 which I do not know, all can be reached by LRT.
Walking to Times Square ~15min nad from TS to Sungei Wang another 10min. Of course, if you can walk very fast like me, it will only takes less than half that time. KLCC & Twin tower are at the same location

I suggest you do some searching online, most information is available online.

is the KL hotels electric socket 2 hole or 3 holes? to charge my phone and camera.

Shopping wise, Mid Valley also not bad. Not to forget Batu Caves. KLCC and Petronas Twin Towers are the same place.

i heard batu caves actually nth to see?? and how can i take to batu caves? how much is the cab fare? and to get there and do i need at least a day to go there, walk ard, and come back to bukit bintang?

 

[suangern]

Batu Cave is an Indian temple. Its 13km North of KL, so taxi fare would be RM20? I'm not sure or insist go by meter. Take bus also can. The cave is located quite high need to climb around 297 steps. 1-2 hours is enough.
