HAPPY MOHAMMED's BIRTHDAY, KENNY ROGERS and DOING IT MONKEY-STYLE. Up very early (for me) to catch the train to the airport. It seems school kids here go to school at 6.30am.... arrived at KL and it is all over the shop. KL is completely unstructured, and has a very confusing train system. The Hotel Swiss Garden had no booking for me (doh!) so they had to check up what had gone wrong with the internet service I used - so they put me in to a room on the Swiss Priveledge Executive Level.... swa...

We've been in Malaysia now for jus over 12 hours, surprisingly its different.. we reached the border around 5pm Thailand time and had to pay a 10 baht fee, for those who overstayed in Thailand it was a 500 baht charge per day!! Damn!! Weird feeling was losing an hour in less than a second, I knew instanly that we was in another country, ok maybe cos there was Malaysian flags dotted around the place, but call me crazy the atmosphere and roadworks where different, from the border it took about ...

The bus we got on in Krabi was supposed to leave at 7am and get us to Kuala Lumpur for 10pm.... did it get us there for 10? no, of course not, we are in Asia. We didn't arrive til 12, and to make matters worse we didn't know that the time goes forward an hour, so we really arrived at 1!! Luckily we had booked a swanky hotel (the first in a long time) so it had a 24 hour reception! Our Hotel was absolutely lush! We had free internet, a swimming pool, SEPERATE BEDS!!! That was the best bit as m...

We booked ourselves onto the midday bus from the Lavendar bus terminal in Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (known as KL in South East Asia) where we intended to get a quick taste of the Malaysian capital before heading north overland to Thailand. The bus journey was great and included air con, reclining seats, loads of leg room and a boxed lunch. After getting through the border crossing relatively easy (it would have helped if they had given us an immigration card to fill in before we got there) we...

On Friday the 23rd the group of us decided to hire scooters and ride around the Langkawi Island. This is the only way of getting around other than taking a taxi as there is no public transport at all. Fortunately though it is rediculously cheap at around $15 AUD for 24 hrs on a nice new 150cc scooter. Having been to parts of SE Asia before I really hadn't seen myself getting on a scooter, however the traffic and roads on Langkawi are actually very good so i thought why not. The first stop was...

KL....KC(in joke for Yasmin)...K pasa? Friday: We arrived rather late and met the Jamals at the hotel and nattered for an hour or so (with rather loud background music and party noise)before crashing out(been a hard week of teaching!). Saturday: long chatty breakfast, then a tour - Batu caves (inhabited by monkeys)...272 steps to Buddhist Temple in limestone cliffs, Independence square (complete with cricket wicket), National Mosque, King's Palace, etc. Luckily, although it was hot, there was...
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia thedunckleys
Malaysia Day One I think this may have been one of the longest days of my life. So we woke up this morning at like 8 because we were suppose to leave for our trip at 840. At 805 we got an announcement from the assistant dean. She said that in the middle of the night something happened with the boat so we would be delayed on our arrival for a little while. Well I got a little nervous but I looked out the window and we were still moving so I figured this was a good sign. We decided since we wer...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Swiss Garden Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Very good quality vs price
The room (standard) I used was not too big, but clean and convenient. My friends received another on the same floor, and this was bigger, equipped with a pc and a large bathroom with separate closed shower.
The swimming pool is a small round pool on the 3rd floor next to the health facilities. For a resort it would be small, but as this is typical a city hotel the pool is certainly convenient. Chairs, towels, etc are available free of charge.
The hotel is situated on a convenient place. The China town and a few shopping centers of Bintang Road are on walking distance. It avoids taxi costs!
In the lobby bar (The bleue lounge) there is evening entertainement. It is convenient but drinks are not cheap.
Internet is available in business center and in the lobby. A card at myr 10 is available at the reception. It is valid for 1 hour within 24 hours to be used.
Lovely Hotel
Good value for money
Great place
Loved everything aout the Swiss Garden, location was ideal for getting about, last year we walked to most places, Chinatown and the KL Tower we managed to walk to, although we got a taxi back from the latter. The Time Square Mall we loved, again in walking distance, I bought perscription designer eye glasses last year for £50, this year my husband and myself bougt a pair, £130 for both, great fit and the service was excellent, they rang our hotel to inform us when they were ready (next day)
The buffet breakfast in the swiss Garden was excellent, as was the evening buffet, loads of choice. Will stay here again when we return to KL.
Great Value
Good Hotel in a great location
The second night we moved to a room with a double bed.
Breakfast was included and was a varied buffet.
The hotel is ideally situated close to Bintang Walk and Chinatown.
My boyfriend used the pool and sauna and said they were adequate and quite refreshing.
On our last night in KL we had the special buffet for 55RM for 2 people and ate sushi, oysters, Malaysian food, cakes, the lot! Excellent value.
Drinks are expensive, but that seems to be the case in Malaysian hotels.
We would recommend this hotel to people visiting KL, and would stay there again.
Swiss Garden Hotel

P.S. I will be back
I loved it
Can't get better a better location at great value in KL
When we arrived at this hotel, it was better than I expected as I had confused it with the Swiss Inn.
The lobby area and staff are very welcoming, courteous and helpful. Although there was a slight mishap with our room, this did not bother us at all as the hotel was pretty good and the rooms were nice, clean and comfortable.
The hotel is literally less than 5 minutes walk away from the cities main shopping malls - which are abundant and huge, and also about 5 minutes taxi ride away from the petronas towers and KLCC tower. About 15-20 minutes walk away is the bustling Chinatown where you can get good food and buy the odd designer knock-off designer handbag or DVD film!
6 nights a week there is a live music band in the bar (Radical Zone when we visited) which provided lively and also relaxed entertainment. The prices in the bar though are ridiculously expensive - Three 500ml bottles of evian cost GBP £6... so watch out!!!
We were also lucky enough to have stayed while there was a buffet promotion in the restaurant. The food was really good and so cheap at 55RM for 2 people. They also have a regular menu but we didn't use this as the buffet was much better value and there was more of a variety.
The only disappointment we suffered during our stay was that although we did go to see the petronas towers, we never went up the viewing bridge. We arrived on saturday evening and were leaving tuesday morning - the viewing bridge is closed on Mondays so our only hope was sunday morning.
We were told late morning that you are supposed to queue up very early in the morning as 1000 tickets are given out daily (except monday) on a first come first serve basis from 8 or 8:30am.
Nobody actually warned us about this so we were so disappointed in the hotel and our tour rep for not telling us - even though they knew we were going there on sunday morning.
If I ever went back to KL I would definitely stay at the swiss garden hotel again.
Best Hotel for your money in Kuala Lumpur!
So far Swiss Garden is THE best one and at a very reasonable price. Service is excellent, rooms are nice and clean, its close to the biggest malls and just 10 minutes away from Petaling Street. Lobby is nice, parking is free and the breakfast is one of the best and most complete I have seen so far. Dinner in the restaurant is very good but pricy, but nobody is perfect!
Standard rooms are RM 140 and Deluxe rooms are RM 160. Look around on the internet and don't pay more then that.
