Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur Hotel….is it nice? 😃

Hello everyone!! Just a throwback for last weekeend holiday, we went to one of the 5 stars hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur.

To be honest with you, for those who love cultural, and especially for tourist, this is one of the best hotel in Kuala Lumpur for you. It’s more classical and traditional carving decoration for the building and it’s decoration as well. There are some of the times I can see that the staffs are wearing traditional ‘songket kurung moden’ and the guy wearing ‘Baju melayu’ some with ‘Tanjak’. It’s was the best for family gathering and to relax, but i should say not a hotel for business purposes 😃 The service a bit slow and not so organize, not a hotel if you are in a hurry 😀

Where to park? (If you have vehicles)

Well yea, for those who have vehicles, you may park your vehicle at the basement parking. There are B1 and B2 basement parking. I will recommend you to park at B2 basement, coz too many cars at the B1 basement.

So, there will be 2 elevators, one is to the hotel lobby, and the other one is to the apartment lobby. You will need to park nearby to elevators which for the hotel lobby. The good about the elevator is, you don’t need to touch the card when you want to go to your room 😂 well, yes it’s good for safety reason to have designated card to your room, but if you go with your family, it’s kinda irritating. Haha. Yeah, I give a thumb up to the traditional way for the elevators 😄

Elevators….

Royale Chulan KL has 2 elevators, one is for the apartment, and another one is for hotel lobby. Use the one for hotel lobby, I managed to snap some photos for the elevator, lobby and the front counter. Check these out.. 😃

The elevator from basement to hotel rooms.

Registration to check-in hotel

If you bring your own vehicle, you will need to register the plate number at the counter. So, whenever you are going out, you will need to go to the counter first, for complimentary parking -multiple entries (each time need to claim complimentary parking at the counter).

I booked my room directly at their websites. You may use another platform too, but if you choose to booked directly to their website, make sure you fill in the booking room with your full name. There is no deposit at the time of my visit. I did booked for 1 studio apartment and 1 superior king, but they provided me with connected room with 1 suite room, and 1 twin room. Aaaa…its win-win situation..perhaps its something similar to upgrade room? 😀 But it’s okay coz the visit is just for relaxing. So, you will be given mainly 2 cards, one is for the key and another card is to plug in the power.

The decoration is traditional and cultural, I saw they hang quite some of numbers for ‘Keris’. Wanna know what ‘Keris’ is? Here..read this 😀

This is the spa booth. They have spa at the same level as the pool, Level 2. But I didn’t go check on it 😀

Err…might be cheap for Tourist, but not for Local 😃

The lobby and restaurant in the glass side area..

The rooms….

Okay, once you reached to your room’s level, you will see a beautiful hallway to your room. I think so far this is the biggest hallway for hotel I’ve been in my whole life 😀

Spacious hallway from elevator to the room..

When you entered the room, you will see the dry kitchenette and big mirror..

The suite was kinda spacious, it has 2 seaters sofa and small round dining table. TV and console table. But I think the TV channel is kinda old, think it should be better if have netflix channel 🙂

The dining/living room and bedroom are separate by 1 small wooden sliding door.

When you go further, then you can see the whole bedroom…as below…

Side table…it’s a very old and traditional for a hotel.

As I mentioned earlier, I got connected room and for the other room was a twin room.

This is the twin room. Some find it’s very fascinating, but I don’t feel the same way, coz my parents house was more ‘traditional’ and more ‘royale’ than this 😂

The bathroom…

The hotel bathroom is kinda spacious..but the concept kinda similar to Pullman hotel. The bathroom has partition to divide the shower, and bowl, and each of the rooms has bath tub 🥰

The pool….

The pool was located at level 2. It’s just nearby to our rooms 😍 very convenient..

This is the entrance..it’s available from 7am until 8pm

There are 3 swimming pools, purposely for babies, kids and adults…it’s pretty awesome for the pools

The complimentary breakfast, indoor waterfall…and garden… 🥰

Just like a normal hotel, this hotel has a complimentary breakfast. The food is local food and served ‘Nasi Lemak’ with ‘sambal’, ‘Roti Canai’, noodles, croissant and bread. Drinks, they have mango/apple juice, detox lemon water and hot drinks – nescafe, ‘teh tarik’, tea and black coffee.

I think overall, the food is not so bad. My mom said, it was nice. But I like those in Seri Pacific hotel more 😃

My ‘teh tarik’ and tosted bread..i toasted it twice 😂

‘Teh tarik” and muffin. The muffin looks so dull, but it’s actually taste nice and fluffy 😃 i thought its hard..haha

Okay, thats me with my glasses..too lazy to stick my eyes with contact lens in the early morningm..so I let those eyes relax a bit…hahaha

Okay, just nearby the cafe/restaurant..there is a tropical waterfall and garden….and lot of big koi fishes in the pond..😍

The indoor waterfall…inside the Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur

Well overall, it’s not that bad…a spacious hotel, very traditional and rich of cultural, nice food, but I think it will need a lil bit of maintenance especially the room furnitures. It’s quite old and got some scratches on the furnitures. A lil bit of nice room parfum, will be good, coz most 5 stars hotel I went have a decent smell, like spa smell. Not bad for tourism, but not recommended for business trip as the services a bit slow 😀

Till then…to be continue….for the next hotel trip…

Hey Coffee Lover!!! 😘

Hello friends!!! How are you today? Happy weekend!!! WoOooooHoooo!!! It’s finally weekend.

Okay guys, I used to have Dolce Gusto Piccolo XS on my workspace desk in office, however due to shifting workplace, I don’t have a place for my Piccolo anymore. 😢 Staying with your parents, meaning your space is very limited to your room only. Living with maximalist, means “Sorry, no space for you!”. Hahaha..so, I have to keep all my Piccolo and ‘his’ babies in my small pantry (small wardrobe).

So, what I did, I kept all my coffee capsules in container to preserve the aroma (I hope so). Next month, I need to do an appropriate setup for my Piccolo in my room 🙂

Till then…see u in next post…

What will you do when you feel down?

Hey everyone…how are you, mentally and physically? Are you all really okay?

For me, both mental and physical health are very important. There is no point if you have a lot of cash, but your inner health is not happy/sad. If your mental was tired with your chaotic life, then you need to stop and follow your own pace.

Well, recently something had happened. I snapped and do my own checking for my mental and physical health. I had noticed, recently I had not exercising and easily tired. Insomnia is one of the sign that I’m having a mental disturbed.

What you need to do if your mental is disturbed?

1. You need to find a backup plan, if your current plan didn’t work out.

It is very important to have some extra 2 or 3 backup plans on anything, so whenever things didn’t go right, at least you will have some other plans to do.

2. Find and create your own happiness.

Yes, this is very important. No one will make you happy. Your happiness is your own responsibility. You rule your own happiness. Do things that make you happy, as long as it didn’t against the law. Be yourself, be real and don’t be fake. Coz once you’d been noticed fake, it’s just…disgusted.

3. Let it go, everyone is not perfect.

Everyone has his/her own strength and has his/her own weakness. Nobody have right to pull down anyone, because himself/herself has their own weakness. Human is created by God such way, and to complete each other. I really don’t believe if someone told me, that they are perfect. Coz nobody does and only God is perfect in multiple ways.

4. Catch memories of the happiness and spread the positive vibes

It wasn’t easy to be happy on this earth, so catch some photos or videos of these memories if you have a chance. Your inner happiness will create a positive vibes around the society and spread the positivities.

5. Pray to God

Last, but not least is to pray to God. We are the planner, but on top of our plans, there is a Big Planner which is..God’s plan. Doesn’t matter what religion you are, pray to your God and asked from God. Those who don’t have faith in any God, I pray someday you will have some faith to God. For muslims, perform some extra prayers other than 5mandatory prayers, and recite Quran. Insya Allah, Allah will ease everything for us. Amin 🤲

Till then, to be continue…adios…

It’s been awhile…I’m back!

Hello everyone, it’s been awhile that Im updating my blog. Well, well, well..its a part of my goal to have an optimum happiness including job task. I don’t want to work hard and no one appreciate your hardwork, to be in the wrong team. Despite all of that, I rather be alone and focusing on my own strength. I believe each of person has his/her own strength and weakness. What you need to do, is to focus on someone strength and make a good use of it, rather than focusing on someone weakness and pulling down their willpower. So, to be in a positive environment is most crucial for our own happiness. I hope one day, I can have an optimum happiness. It’s not a big dream, a dream that I feel satisfied to what I have for now. To feel greatful to my God (Allah SWT) for what I have.

Well guys, let’s live follow the flow. Sometimes, what you plan didn’t work, but believe it, with patience it will eventually worth it.

Till then, I will update more often after this..

To be continue…

Love, Sofia
