Hotel Review: Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar, Malaysia

One of the loveliest staycations we had this year was at Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar. Pullman is the upscale international hotel brand of Accor, the world's leading hotel operator.

Once parked, we head up to the spacious, modern lobby and got ourselves checked in. We're in room 2022, a grand deluxe room up on the 20th floor. 

How creative... Pull-man... get it?

The hotel is quite new and rooms are well-maintained. There are a total of 513 contemporary-style rooms and suites, starting from deluxe room up to the presidential suite. All rooms come with a bath tub, and those staying in Grand Deluxe and above will also find a coffee machine and Roger & Gallet premium toiletries.


A spacious 41 sq m, we liked the modern interior of the room. The king-sized bed was comfortable, and there is also a pillow menu for guests to choose from for their comfort. Our room also comes with a LCD TV, iPod docking station, work desk, seating area, and free wi-fi.

Location wise, it is located close to MidValley Megamall and the KLIA express rail link station is just 10 minutes away from the hotel.

Bathrooms are also spacious, with a separate shower and bath tub.

Even if it rains... no problems! We can still have fun in our "indoor pool"

Roger & Gallet toiletries (in all room categories except Deluxe rooms)

Coffee/tea making facilities with Italian espresso maker

Safe, dumb bells and even a yoga mat.

Welcome gift.... a box of macarons ;)

Guests staying in Grand Executive room categories and above can also enjoy access to the Executive Lounge on the 26th Floor. There is a cocktail hour between 6-8pm - we came upstairs for a look, and were amazed to find a pretty good array of canapes and bites. We skipped this as we were having dinner pretty soon at La Cucina. Breakfast is served either at LINK or Executive Lounge (for those eligible).

Sending some love to you all!

Oh see what I spotted - sumos! No wonder I feel so much at home here...

And then we spotted a Lamborghini parked at the hotel entrance...

And of course, every staycation is not complete without a visit to the swimming pool. There are 2 pools here - adult and children's pool as well as a jacuzzi. There is also a fitness centre on the same level.

At present, the hotel has 4 restaurants/cafes for guests to choose from - LINK, Petit Cafe, The Lounge and La Cucina. More restaurants will be opened by next year, as well as a spa.

We were pleasantly surprised with the high quality buffet at LINK, the hotel's all day dining restaurant. We had our lunch here on the day we checked in - good variety and delicious food. And it's also the busiest buffet we've ever encountered, but luckily we were slightly early so we missed most of the crowd.

Petit Cafe located in the lobby, serves quick bites and cakes.

The Lounge, to unwind with some cocktails or Pullman's signature tapas menu, Tapastry. They also serve afternoon tea here.

Cabanas for chillaxing

La Cucina, a really awesome restaurant serving delicious Mediterranean inspired cuisine. Had two enjoyable meals here - steak lunch and dinner.

You can find lots of great art around the hotel.

Thank you to Pullman KL Bangsar for the wonderful, memorable stay!

Verdict: The location means that it's easy enough for us to get to without running into too much of a jam, rooms are spacious and the food is great, making this a great place for a staycation in KL.

Room rates: Prices start from RM288++.

Hotel Review: Best Western Premier Dua Sentral, Kuala Lumpur

Staycations rank high on my kids' list of favorite things to do. We recently had a great staycation at Best Western Premier Dua Sentral, KL. It is centrally located near the KL Sentral area and less than a 30-minute drive away from home for us.

There are a total of 357 rooms and suites in the hotel. For the duration of our stay, we were booked into a 2-bedroom club suite on the 20th floor, the highest category room at the hotel. To access the hotel rooms, only guests with key cards can access their respective floors.

Also known as the family suite, this spacious 150 square metres suite can accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 kids. There are 2 queen-sized beds in the first bedroom and another king-sized bed in the other room.  There is a 32" LCD flat-screen TV in every room and also one in the separate living area. There are also 2 bathrooms (2 showers, 2 toilets, 4 vanity counters and 1 bath tub in total). The suite also comes with a kitchenette, with coffee/tea making facilities, mini bar and complimentary drinking water. Complimentary wifi is available in all rooms and public areas of the hotel for hotel guests.

Some of the attractions located nearby are National Museum, Central Market, Little India Brickfields, KL Bird Park, KL Butterfly Park and Nu Sentral shopping mall. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service to KLCC, KL Sentral and Midvalley Megamall.

Welcome amenity - thanks for the 3-tier of goodies!

We like the modern interior of the suites - very nice and sleek!

The swimming pools are located on the 6th floor. There is an infinity (adult) pool and also a kids pool. You get a really great view from up here on a clear day - you can see both KL Tower and the world-famous Petronas Twin Towers from here. Copious amounts of fun were had here! :)

We certainly had a great time here :)

The gym/fitness centre and Bhuvana Spa Luxe is also located on the same level as the pool. Bhuvana Spa Luxe offers a wide range of massage therapies, body treatments (scrubs and wraps), facial treatments and Bhuvana blends (spa treatment combinations) as well as manicure and pedicures. I had an ultra-relaxing massage here.

There are 3 restaurants and a lounge at the hotel. Kembali Kitchen is the hotel's all-day dining restaurant which serves both International and Asian cuisine (a la carte or buffet). We had our breakfast here as well as lunch on one occasion. Hugo's on 6 is located on the same level as the swimming pool, and offers Mediterranean cuisine as well as steamboat and BBQ on select days. Grill 582 is the hotel's fine dining restaurant, serving the finest meat cuts and seafood, and is only open for dinner. Punch Bar & Lounge offers pre- and post-dinner cocktails (happy hour between 6-8pm) as well as afternoon tea.
