Crystal Crown Hotel @ Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur

Located at 12, Lorong Utara A, Off Jalan Utara, Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur. Stayed for 4 days 3 nights at this place. The rate for a superior room from Agoda, is roughly around less than SGD$100 per night with breakfast included.

Of course, very important to explore the bathroom first. The bathtub has some kind of scraping and rusty looking patches in it, so didn't use the tub to soak.

Bottled water and coffee/tea, and water kettle are provided.

two bottles per day
nescafe and 'Boh' tea

Overall, the room was nice but the air conditioning does take a while to get cold. Equipped with LCD tv with some cable channels such as TVB, NHK, sports and local TV stations. But it doesn't have an in-room iron and the safety box doesn't work as it was already locked prior to occupying the room. Guess the guest have to ask for a reset.

And mine was a smoking room.

Breakfast was included at Brass Cafe downstairs at ground level.

french toast with baked beans, chicken sausage and scrambled egg
scrambled eggs got more watery on the next day and the next...
green guava juice
rendang chicken on nasi lemak with peanuts and ikan bilis, fried noodles and roti canai with dhal at the back
swiss rolls
frothy black coffee from the coffee machine


The breakfast choice remained the same throughout the next three days. So, got the usual breakfast with scrambled eggs and french toast, baked beans and two bites of nasi lemak with chicken rendang. First day was the only day the plate was full. The next few days saw diminishing interest in the breakfast... Hahaa.

The taxi fare from hotel to MidValley with moderate jam costs around RM12, on normal days it should be just under RM9. From 1-Utama to hotel, the taxi will also costs around that range.
