Stayed at Bintang Warisan Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

City tour (1/2 day) very informative. Batu Caves are OK, but if you've been to India and seem the real thing, then this won't phase you at all. Daytrip to Melacca was good. Line for Petronas tickets was outrageous, go to Menera (KL tower) instead, which is in Bukit Nanas park...it is a bit of a walk uphill, you can take a taxi if you like. You get a better view than from Petronas. Chinatown Petaling street was hectic...only visit there if you are serious about shopping imitation stuff. For food, walk around Jalan Sultan..for some cheap stuff (or Jalan Alor, if you are in Golden Triangle area). The walk on Jalan Pudu from Chinatown to Bukit Bintang was interesting, it goes past the large bus station, but what is better is that you get a real cross section of homey Kuala Lumpur, without the luxuries, you just see people on the street, small stores, restaurants, etc...very local...non touristy scene, for a different perspective. Also, visit Mederka square, so you can see where the British lived, and also you can take a look at the former Petronas Building (before the twin towers were built) The local transport in KL is very good, with the monorail, the trains, the buses, you should have no problem getting around.

Perfect location, accessible to any main shopping center eg Starhill, Lot 10, Sungai Wang Plaza, PP plaza. It's just 5 mins walking distance to the Monorail station. Nightlife is very happening around the hotel. Many foot massage services operate until late night.

For those looking for an excellent location of a hotel, Bintang Warisan is the answer. Major shopping malls are at the door steps...Times Square is less than 10 minutes away should you decide to catch a midnight movie like I did.
Overall, I'm really satisfied with my stay at the hotel and will patronize the hotel again in the near future.

Getting around KL is basically via taxi since I am here only for the weekend. Never take taxis who are waiting around for they charge fixed price instead of meter based. Basically Puduraya bus terminal, Chinatown are places where these cabbies hang out, so you should walk out to the main street to hail a cab. Food is great for I ate ard Jln alor area, the street I guess in front of Hotel Nova, lots of variety, tasty, and cheap. Think these are better than going inside the restaurant located along the same street, which I ate once before and don't find them as great. Can also go to Chinatown where again you will find streetside hawkers where throngs of people eat there. Would not say so for the restaurants there, since they are relatively more expensive I guess. After which I proceeded to have a good foot massage located on 2nd floor of Swiss Inn hotel where a 40min foot masage cost only 30 RM. Additional RM10 for10 min of back massage if you like, and ear candling too if you prefer at the cost of RM40-50.
In case you should reach KL in the wee hours like I did, and your hotel check in is only after 2pm, do proceed to Ancasa hotel near pudu terminal and ask if they have vacancy for day rate, RM 50 only, or take a cab to season view at Bukit Bintang to check the same.

KL is great. Go early to book the visit to the Skybridge, shop at MidValley. We hired a car from Orix, good machine, very reasonable price, got to drive to the Cameron Highlands. Road system (once you get out of KL itself) are excellent.

Stayed at Renaissance, Kuala Lumpur Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Just across the street is the railway station to take you to all points of interest. A five minutes walk and you are at KLCC Petronas Towers and shopping center. Close to the railway station is Hard Rock Cafe KL with great staff and good food (happy hour from 7 to 9 pm moderate beer).

There are a lot of nice foods around not only the local coffee shops but restaurants.
I highly recommend the Espire restaurant in Sugei Wang Shopping Mall.

Stayed at Corus hotel Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
Well placed for KLCC and LRT but not so convenient for Bukit Bintang area. KLCC great if you like shopping malls, but there are plenty more to choose from. In the evening Hard Rock Cafe still buzzing and liked ambience of Q-bar at Westin. Beach bar heaving but too young a crowd for my taste. Bangsa didn't seem as lively as a couple of years ago.

Stayed at Radius International Hotel, Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
If you are going to KL to shop, the Radius is a great place to stay. Walk up the street (maybe a 5 minute walk) and you're in shopper's paradise with BB Plaza, Sungei Wang Plaza, Lot 10 and Plaza Low Yat.
