Anyone stayed Sunway Putra Hotel before. I have a friend wanting to stay for 7n and this hotel has good rates and is above a mall.

Is it recommended to arrive at Subang airport or KLIA? Mainly to shop at Bukit Bintang or KLCC.

Btw do we need to buy ticket for KLIA Ekspres train in advance and does it go to Bukit Bintang or Klcc directly?

The information you seek can be derived from Google Map or the respective websites. Subang Airport has no train service currently. KLIA offers a better connection to those places, whether by bus or KLIA Ekspres/Transit. There is no need to buy tickets in advance. Subang is nearer and cheaper by car only.

Now at KL staying at Four Points by Sheraton~ I went to the wrong Four Points when I first arrived to KL~

The one at Chinatown is very small, like budget hotel~ the other one at City Center which we are staying is flagship within walking distance to KLCC~

Overall experience was quite good, beds were comfy, furnishing are new, AC temp control also works~

P

Btw, the Bluetooth/alarm clock speaker in the room like not bad, supports USB-C fast charging~ sounds also not bad for a bedside music player~

I see that the Park Hyatt is accepting guests. It is situated inside Merdeka 118, Southeast Asia's tallest skyscraper. This ultra-luxury hotel features 252 rooms and offers sweeping, unparalleled views of the city skyline from its sky lobby on the 75th floor and rooms spanning up to the 105th floor.

The highest hotel in southeast asia occupies the highest part of the Merdeka 118, and the rest of the building is not open to business and public yet.

The rates also sky high, I check Agoda the price is from SGD500 to 1100+~

Saw some YouTube reviews, last year already opened for booking~

Stayed before 10 years ago ... Got upgraded from their superior room to their deluxe balcony 48m2 room with bathtub ...

Booked again recently their deluxe balcony with bathtub for 3 pax with breakfast and extra bed for $80 nett
booked under fastest finger first discount ... Else price is $130+ per night ...

The location is good in the sense it is above the shopping mall.
Have also considered the opposite seri pacific hotel also ...
Since agoda has glitched at $36 per night superior 32m2 w bathtub, but no breakfast.
Have booked deluxe 32m2 w bathtub and breakfast at $59 nett per night . no need apply any discoutn on this.
Agoda is $59 and trip was $96 when I checked that time, since the glitch comes from agoda ...

Another fairly new hotel is the Kimpton Naturia at TRX. Just over $200 for a stay with access to a rooftop pool.

I keep a watchful eye on my luggage wherever I place them, whether it is a bus or a train, especially when there is a disembarkation stop coming up. You can deter theft by tying your piece to the shelf.

how do you manage to tie your luggage? can i use a padlock to lock?

maybe can use bicycle chain?

I have never chained my luggage. I keep a watchful eye instead. You can use a bicycle chain, as suggested above. Or tie a knot, which is enough to deter.

The rack overhead has no fixture for you to secure your luggage to, so the place to do this is the rack at the end of the carriage near the door.

like that means must use bicycle lock

This begs the question whether you have gold bars or something.
