St. Giles Boulevard Hotel - Kuala Lumpur

-
Image
The St. Giles Boulevard Hotel is connected to the Mid Valley Megamall. We chose to stay at this hotel because shopping is so convenient. They allow for early check-in before 12pm but they only have two single beds available. We stayed three nights in an urban room that comes with two single beds, a working desk, an iron, an ironing board, a mini fridge, a weighing scale, IPTV with limited channels but a variety of movies, a hair dryer, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning with individual temperature control, coffee or tea-making facilities, and toiletries. Unfortunately, there is no drinking water in the room. They only provide two empty bottles for you to refill the water from the water dispenser in the room corridor. Besides that, there are no disposable slippers. During housekeeping they did not replenish the facial tissues, complimentary tea bags and bathroom floor mat.

The Palm Suite @ Tanjung Tokong - Penang

The Palm Suite is located in Tanjung Tokong Penang, just within walking distance of McDonald's and Starbucks. There are ten of us, and his sister-in-law rented five suites. The room looks modern, and the bathroom comes with a hot tub. However, the hot tub is covered with grime. It is kind of gross because the tub is greasy too. There is a small stool for you to step up before going into the tub. I find it quite dangerous, as the stool can easily flip over, and there is no handle to hold while climbing into the hot tub.  The water pressure is good, and the water is hot enough. The bathroom features a sliding door with no lock. However, opening the bathroom sliding door will close the open wardrobe. If you do not close the in-room safe box door or your luggage protrudes from the closet, the sliding door will not open. My partner forgot to close the in-room safe box door, which left me stranded in the bathroom twice. Luckily he's in the room, or else I'll be spending several h...

Langkawi, Kedah - Day 3 (Final day)

Image
It is our last day in Langkawi, and we decided to chill and enjoy the facilities in the hotel until we check out at 12pm. So, I woke up at 8.30am and went down alone for breakfast since my partner decided to skip it. The menu is the same as yesterday's breakfast, but they had briyani rice today. However, it is slightly salty and tastes average. I decided to try their cereals, and the granola is tasty. Besides that, the staff is kind to assist me in cutting the displayed dragon fruits.  Egg station Wedges Nasi briyani Ayam briyani Rendang ayam Nasi lemak Cakes Fruits section Fruits section Salad section My breakfast My breakfast My breakfast Freshly cut dragon fruits My breakfast On the way to Kuah jetty, we stopped by Yong Leong Seafood Restaurant for lunch. The restaurant was empty, and we were the only customers. I ordered watermelon juice, but it's too diluted and sweet for my taste. My partner had orange juice, which was sweet as well. We ordered their chef's special be...
