Visa Run Kl - Any Hotel Recommendations - Advise Please ?

[CharlieH]

I am doing a Visa run to KL and would like any advice or recommendations for a hotel? only recent experiences please, I have searched the forum and i have only found "old" information and would like some more up-to date experiences or recommendations if possible.

Also any other tips whilst going through the Visa process in KL (Non O multi entry based on wife)

Thanks

I've always stayed at the Crown Princess, close to the embassy but it's not a budget hotel and seems to be closed for renovation anyway

Plenty of budget hotels in and around Jalan Petaling which is convenient for the Putra LRT to get to the embassy (get off at Ampang Park).

I believe KL now want to see 100k in a Thai bank for your multi-O (can someone confirm please).

Thanks for the reply, YES the 100k is a requirement as posted on the consulate website.

I like Citidel express.

Ask for a room on back side, amazing view towards Petronas towers.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I am not necessarily looking for a cheap or budget hotel. Something nice, easy to get around from and ideally within easy reach of the Embassy.

Not close to the embassy, just good value for the money.

Skytrain station 200 meters away.

a ) what is your budget (in Baht or RM)

b ) how long you want to stay in Kl

c ) what r u after while staying in KL ?

in general, KL caters to every budget's needs.

it is a good idea to stay somewhere with access to a Monorail (not skytrain) station, or an LRT-station, so u can avoid to deal with the taxi-scum in KL (you will LOVE Bangkok's Taxi-drivers after ur stay at KL)

if u want specific advice, better PM me as I may not be able to follow all those topics permanently. I have been to KL 5 times in 2010 already
