samran Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi All, I don't know KL at all, and I'm flying down to meet some friends for basically 24hrs. They are staying near the Petronus towers area. Does anyone know any good, cheap to mid range hotels in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenman Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I usually stay at the Radius International in Kuala Lumpur. Mid-range hotel just off of Bukit Bintang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjoe Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 You could treat yourself to the Shangri-la for around 4500 baht, it's just a stroll away from PTT. Or consider the 5* Equatorial Hotel Kuala Lumpur at under 2500 baht, also just a short stroll to the Towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singa-traz Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I had a good night at the Traders (in the Shangri-la group): http://www.shangri-la.com/en/property/kualalumpur/traders You can walk to the Petronas Tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jingjoe Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Samran, type the hotel name that interests you into google "earth"... you get a VERY clear view of where exactly where your hotel will be in relation to PTT.

Hi Can second Equatorial Hotel, stayed there a couple of times, excellent and thought it was cheaper than 2,500 baht but can't be 100% sure TBWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I got put up in the Concord Hotel by MAL one night about 10 plus years ago after the 747 turned back due to its engines going on fire. Great hotel and must go back and revisit one day. Directly opposite the Petronas Towers (at the time not finished...also no hard Rock wotsit then)). Highly recco.......

Shah Jahan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think it still may be 'Arab season' in KL which means that sometimes a hotel room will be very difficult to find in downtown as the whole city is swamped with Arabs on vacation. I stayed at the Radius before - it was ok - the only issue was that they sold internet time cards in 3 hour blocks only and you couldnt pre-buy a bunch so I would have to run downstairs - The Istana is very nice place around the corner - and really not that much more expensive if you book the internet rate. other hotels in the area are the Genesis which seems comparable to the Radius and the Carlton which has something very 'fishy' going on in the back room of their executive health spa. oh and if you are broke, there are lots of hostels within walking distance of the Radius.

Big A Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I bought a bottle of cheap wine and slept in the park opposite the towers. Not bad, but room service was slow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Taco Loco Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I stay at the Concorde. As another poster stated. Nice hotel. And the same owner owns Hard Rock Cafe next door. Great burgers! 1 block away, as you turn left, and then left again, there are a slew of restaurants. Thai, German, Italian and some nice beer bars. 2 blocks on that same street are the Towers.
