Cititel Express Hotel, Ipoh

From Sunway, we drove to Ipoh.

In Ipoh, we stayed at Cititel Express Hotel.  We got the family room with 1 queen bed and 2 single beds.

The only thing good about this hotel is the room size.  Other than that, nothing much to shout about, it was such a letdown compared to our previous night at Sunway Clio Hotel.

Great size bathroom but a bit dark, I didn’t even have the mood to take the picture.

Great size room, but no socket near the bed, only at the dressing table and the TV wall. 

The lobby.

Limited parking at the basement, and they also provide another parking area, about 5-10 minutes walk from the hotel, which was really inconvenience.

Hotel location is good tho, walking distance from kopitiam for breakfast.

If I ever come back to Ipoh, I will pick other hotel.

Sunway Clio Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Last month, we went for our 1st family holiday outside of Sarawak since Covid19.

For our 1st night, we stayed at Sunway Clio Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

The reason why we chose this hotel was that it's new*, we never stayed here before, and conveniently link to the Sunway Pyramid shopping mall. A few years back we stayed at the Tower Hotel, now known as the Sunway Pyramid Hotel, so this time we wanted to try the Clio Hotel.

*This hotel opens in Feb 2016, considered new to us, that's how long we have not been to Sunway.

We’re glad that we did, good size room, nice view, clean room. No complaints from us.

The lobby.

Our room on the 20th floor.

The washroom.

Great view from our room, and a nice pool on the 8th floor too.

Plenty of parking, which is also accessible from the Mall, with a minimal fee of RM15 per day.

Promenade Hotel, Kota Kinabalu

The last time I stayed in this hotel was in 2005. Coming back here now, I am quite impressed at how well they maintain the hotel.  I think the bathroom gone through some renovations work, other than that all are still quite similar.

Our room is clean and quite spacious. However my the view this time is facing the Api-api Centre.  Last time was facing the sea.

The bathroom is a bit small.

The breakfast spread was reasonable. The nasi lemak was good, not too spicy, had it for 3 days in a row.

The lobby area.

View from the main entrancce, facing the sea.
