Kuala Lumpur Hotel Tips by ukirsari

Well, this pondok [means small place to stay] is cool. It's situated upstair of King Fisher Resto and Zino Bar and has a rooftop sitting area. RM50 per night is fine :)

Unique Qualities: Romantic enough to see around Bukit Bintang at the night from the rooftop. And not to be missed is F1 party all night long after Qualifying Day. The group band performed their songs directly on front of Pondok Lodge [errrrrrr, I need additional pillows to close my ears :)].

A nice place to stay at Bukit Bintang area and the price a bit skyrocket during F1 event. If normally for single is about RM130, it's up to RM145 and back to normal a day after the race :)

Unique Qualities: A post-modern lounge, it's cool. Then I get a king size bed for my own with view to the west. So I can get sunset and street scene of Bukit Bintang area.

Small hotel which surrounded by Chinese hawker stalls at the night in Jalan Alor. Not easy to find. But in the daily light, yes, we can find it easily :)

Unique Qualities: The breakfast is delicious. The room is truely small. But for 1 - 2 days stay, it's okay.

It's my first hotel when I got duty to cover 2000 F1 GP at Sepang International Circuit. Situated at the downtown of KL, at that moment Hilton Hotel make a theme called "Celebrated Belgium" and what a coincidence, I just back from my trip in west Europe [so I'd got post holiday blues once more!]. The hotel give special price for those who want to try Belgium beer. And I pick-up Foster's for my own :)

Unique Qualities: Staying at the Suite Room at 27th floor. Whooaaahhhh. Thanks Mr Jonfis Fandy, thanks Mommy Agnes and all crew of Honda F1 and Sauber Petronas Team. Here I took picture at the lobby hotel with Mr Philippe Gurdjian from F1 Sepang Management [thanks for taking picture, Mrs Agnes Carlier :)]
