lesson learnt: never NEVER forward email to any professional contacts. It is so sloppy and memalukan.
Ritesz. Updates on my Kl trip.
Here it goes; I went there for 4 days and 3 nights on 17 th march. before the trip, I had surveyed a myriad of agencies for 3 adults and 1 child. The cheapest grand sum for the trip is around $750++ (but we were very doubtful because the hotel we chose is Berjaya Times Square) That price is too cheap to be real. it was from this malaysian agency, Sri Maju. During my recce too, i found out they have the cheapest coach fare for return tickets(2ways), that is priced at $40 per pax. Then for the most expensive grand sum for the same hotel is priced about $1.4++k. Ini dah merepek namanya. i believe it's either Five Star tours or Konsortium or AZZA travel. Ini semua nak kaut untung.. So i tried to check out for the different hotels in KL at Bt. Bintang. Then i found out this new boutique hotel that has a theme on ecology(i like). It is the Piccolo Hotel. there are no agencies that i have surveyed has that hotel. but I insist of staying there. in the end, I made a reservation for 3 nights including breakfast for all of us(My mother, my aunt, my sister and myself). For the coach, I had also surveyed through the internet and decided on FIRSTCOACH with the fare of $55 for return tickets per pax (the next cheapest). Grand sum is ~ $780. i was satisfied with my arrangements. Alhamdullillah everything went smoothly despite my first time making all this arrangement. yay(It is so great to feel this sense of accomplishment.)
review on the Hotel;
the hotel is nicely designed and very clean. but it does not have room service and also the breakfast was really boring. At Rm20 per pax. it is so not worth it. As compared to the breakfast at berjaya or holiday villa. However, the location is so ideal as it is located beside lot 10 and very near to the Pavillion. My verdict: cukuplah untuk sekali .
If you ever think about staying here or anywhere(if you make your own reservation. , prepare extra cash because you need to pay for the secuirty deposit(refundable) upon check-in(Therefore, email the hotel first and check how much is the security deposit). I guess they count by nights per room.
Review on the bus:
the bus is really spacious. i like everything about the bus. they have LCD TV and they are working except at the back one. they provide bottled drinks and snacks such as biscuits or bread. I couldn't find any better bus than this at this price.
boarding place from Singapore: Novena square, outside Doughnut factory
Alighting place in Kl: Bangsar LRT
I'm definitely going to KL again with my friends this time. Maybe June. Hope they can make it. of Course i have surveyed too.
[Below are my calculations for the different accommodations + coach;
- Rainforest BnB -Double room (Sleeps 2 for 2 nights) = $99 per pax
- Family (Sleeps 4 for 2 nights) = s$93 per pax
- 41 Berangan - Standard (Sleeps 2 for 2nights) = S$97 per pa
-Superior (Sleeps2 for 2 nights) =S$114 per pax
- Deluxe (Sleeps 4 for 2 nights) = s$97.50 per pax
- BackHome - Double Private (Sleeps 2 for 2 nights) =S$100.20 per pax
- 6Bed mixed dorm (Sleeps 6 for 2 nights) =S$92.50 per pax
- Number 8 - Standard Twin (Sleeps 2 for 2 nights) = S$91 per pax
- Double Ensuite (Sleeps 2 for 2 nights) = S$112.2 per pax
- 6 Bed dorm (Sleep 6 for 2 nights) =S$81 per pax
- Reggae Guest House 2 - 6 bed Dorm (Sleeps 6 for 2 nights) =S$82 per pax
- Double Private (Sleeps 2 for 2 nights) = S$90 per pax
- Bedz Kl -6Bed/14 bed Dorm 9for 2nights) = S$85
*price may vary due to the ever changing currency rates. and some rooms require secuirty deposit such as Backhome RM30 for every person. Rm20 for the keys for Bedz KL.
However all rates include breakfast. not sure about bedzkl
