Hilton KL Rocks! (19 Mar)

I went KL for a conference and I was staying at Trader's Hotel. Decided that we should extend one more night on the final day of my conference and so we hotel hopped to Hilton Central KL (with hubby in case you wonder..). It didn't cost us an arm and leg cos we got it at RM300 per night inclusive of breakfast. Very good rate right??? Heheh!! How we got the deal? Cannot tell you hahahah!! ;p We only stayed for a night and regretted not staying for two instead.. hehe.. Hope the promotion comes round again!

The only "disadvantage"to staying at Hilton Sentral is that it is in the outskirt of the KL city centre. There are also no shopping centres within close proximity. The nearest is Mega Mall, which is about 15min taxi ride away. The other reason why we chose Hilton was also because we were going to take Air Asia flight back to Singapore. So, Hilton was a convenient hotel as we could hop on a coach from the KL Sentral which is a stone's throw away from the hotel.

Speaking of Air Asia! Another long story but in summary, it wasn't a pleasant experience. We will (probably) never go on Air Asia again! Why "probably"? Cos we each received RM200 voucher from the unpleasant incident, and has to be used within three months... We have yet to decide if we want to use the voucher.

View from our room.

The luxurious comfy king-size bed.

The TV and working desk. Unfortunately, the TV reception wasn't working well but we didn't call the technician cos it was just a night stay. I did feedback on the form and received from the management an email acknowledging the areas of feedback I've given. First time ever! Certainly a nice touch of excellent customer service!

The bathroom.

Spot the rectangular screen on the left. It's a mini-TV screen, so you'll never miss your favourite TV programme while brushing your teeth. It can be turned around and you can watch it while bathing from the standing shower too!! Hahaha!!
Very comprehensive Evelyn & Crabtree vanity items.

Breakfast venue. That's the fruits and fruit juice stall. You can order freshly squeezed juices of the day. On the day we had breakfast, we could choose to have either one of these; apples, carrots or celery, or all three! Absolutely a healthy way to start the day!

More breakfast items. The range and quality were unbeatable!

Variety of yoghurt available.

What you will get on your table.

They also have on each table a "health chart" which you can refer to according to the food you will be consuming. There's a mini chart accompanying each food type they serve which will tell you if the food was of "High/Low Energy", "High/Low Carbohydrates", "High Fibre" etc. Perfect for the health-conscious!

Hilton KL Rocks! Super duper highly recommended!
