“Good hotel option within Precinct 2”

Stayed here during CNY. They upgraded me from windowless to a room with window, which is very much appreciated.

Stayed here during CNY. They upgraded me from windowless to a room with window, which is very much appreciated. Room is clean and well maintained, although the shower head needs some replacement coz there was so much leakage whenever I take a shower, water gets wasted. The decors of the hotel are nice, although it feels a bit outdated. The hotel is within Precinct 2, basically right smack in the middle of the precinct, walking distance to different buildings like the nearby mosque, and the Floria park, and the Putra Square. There is also a grocery and convenience store, and MR DIY at the hotel grounds, and a food truck park nearby. To reach the hotel via public transpo, you can take any of the buses (T511 and T509) from Putrajaya Sentral station and alight at the closest bus stop from the hotel. Definitely won't mind staying here again when I am in Putrayaja.

“Observations for Service Improvement”

This hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Putrajaya and is easily accessible.

This hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Putrajaya and is easily accessible. However, the basement parking looks run-down and would benefit from improved lighting and refurbishment to enhance both safety and security. The room is comfortable and adequately equipped with the necessary amenities. Breakfast at the coffee house is a standard hotel buffet and meets the basic expectations. For business travelers, the hotel may wish to consider offering a more tailored breakfast selection and reviewing the service standards at the coffee house. The lobby is functional but does not convey the impression of a grand or premium hotel entrance. Overall is acceptable.

“Perfect location if you're planning to walk/jog/run the 1.4 miles/2.25 km to the only parkrun in Malaysia!”

I chose this hotel for an overnight stay purely to attend the Presint 18 parkrun, as it is the closest hotel to the only parkrun in Malaysia!

I chose this hotel for an overnight stay purely to attend the Presint 18 parkrun, as it is the closest hotel to the only parkrun in Malaysia! Check in was OK, I had a balcony room facing the magnificent mosque and the lake, so the view was stunning, day and night. There is no bath, but ample toiletries, with complimentary toohbrush/toothpaste, shower cap, cotton buds, comb, sanitary pad, small bar of soap. There is no separate hair conditioner. There is a shower gel and shampoo in bottles attached to the wall. The shower was good, but the shower area could do with refreshed grouting as they are black and appear dirty. There's complimentary bottle of water, with a water dispensor on the corrider for top up. There is complimentary sachets of 2 coffee, 2 tea bags, sugar and creamer, so not great in quantity. There's bedroom slippers. Dinner was interesting as it was during Ramadan, so there were apparently 800 people dining in the buffet as most were breaking fast. Therefore it is recommended that during this time, to book a table in advance. The food options were plentiful, and caters for everyone, I really enjoyed the buffet. Breakfast was a different story, as I had breakfast after parkrun. In fact, I couldn't find where breakfast was as the bustling restaurant from the night before was empty, and I had to walk round the whole restaurant before I stumbled onto the breakfast area in a corner, where there was only one other table and me! The breakfast option was good which I also enjoyed. I left the hotel at 06:30 to jog slowly to parkrun, took me 17 minutes, really easy to navigate, well lit pedestrian-friendly paths. I arrived early at parkrun at 07:00. Met and chatted to lots of tourists. The course is mainly out and back, quite flat. I jogged back, which was still not too hot at that time. I had time to shower, then a leisurely breakfast, and checking out 12pm.
