After more than a week, our stay in Malaysia was unfortunately already over. Before flying with Singapore Airlines via Singapore to Bangkok, we were able to relax in the Plaza Premium Lounge Kuala Lumpur before our departure. Find out what the lounge in the international departures area of Terminal 1 has to offer and how to access it in our lounge review.
Opened in 2004, the Hilton Kuala Lumpur is ranked among the best hotels in Southeast Asia according to TripAdvisor. After a relaxing time on the Malaysian island of Penang, we wanted to unwind a bit in Kuala Lumpur before our flight to Bangkok. Find out whether the five-star Hilton Kuala Lumpur was the right choice in the following hotel review.
During our stay in Malaysia, we definitely wanted to see more than just Kuala Lumpur. Since we had already been to the Malaysian island of Langkawi a few years ago, we decided to go to Penang this time. Fortunately, the island also has a Hilton hotel, so we spent three nights at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang.
As HHonors Gold members, we had three Hilton hotels to choose from for our stay in Kuala Lumpur. We chose the DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur due to its good value and central location. Read our review to find out what our impressions of the hotel were.
Our second hotel on the island of Langkawi was the Berjaya Langkawi Resort. Upon our arrival at 2 p.m., our room, or rather the Rainforest Chalet we had booked, was not yet ready. The reception process was very unprofessional for a 4-star hotel and took forever. Perhaps we were simply unlucky with the staff.
After landing on the dream island of Langkawi, we were met at the airport by our personal shuttle service from The Danna Langkawi hotel. They took our luggage and escorted us to the car. During the ride, we were offered drinks and a cool towel to freshen up. Even though our journey from Singapore wasn't that long, something refreshing is always nice in this heat.
