One World Hotel

Hehehe…wanted to do a review on the hotels I stayed in during Chinese New Year…but I kept on forgetting or feel lazy…

so here goes……

One World Hotel is located right beside One Utama which is in the heart of Petaling Jaya(is PJ still in Kuala Lumpur? or count as Selangor? hahahaha....I'm East Malaysian...I'm unclear of West Malaysia as much as they're unclear of us.).

A few nearby places to go( places as in shopping) includes IKEA, The Curve and another which I forgot the name.

The shopping environment at One Utama isn’t to my liking, kinda messy for my taste but overall, can find quite a number of brands there.

The hotel was great, one of the better ones that I’ve stayed in.

The hotel was kinda empty when we arrived for check-in despite being the the festive season. Maybe its the price, RM300+ per night for a normal room, kinda pricey.

The staff was friendly, which is important, receptionist was helpful and cheerful.

We arrived early and they allowed us to to check-in earlier than the standard check-in time but the non-smoking room we requested for was not yet available at that time so they allocated a smoking room for us and told us we could change if the smell is uncomfortable(which we did changed, bellboy did all the work moving things around).

Now, to the room….too much word already XD

Soft and fluffy beds. They even provide two extra pillow in their wardrobe!

Items from their wardrobe, they provide the basic amenities such as safe box, iron, hair dryer, bath robe and what-do-you-call-those? slippers?

Their hair dryer even have the option of healthy or normal for you to choose from, its a button which you can change. Healthy hair dryer….the healthy one just feel cooler compared to the normal setting, not bad also.

They also provide a well stocked mini bar and other snacks and coffee and tea. Do you see something different from the snacks that are provided here compared to some other hotels?

THIS! hahahahahahaha….for emergency cases! quite expensive, RM20+
Another thing to note, their rooms are kinda computerised. Like this:

The tv actually serves as a screen for their system, they have in-house music and movies apart from the free channels which you can buy using the remote or keyboard they provide, quite a list available. Room service and other services are also accessed through that console using the remote or keyboard. Internet provided by a fee, forgot how much, around RM20+ for 24 hours.

Moving on to their bathroom…

I like their shower space. The water pressure was strong plus the shower head was above, nice nice!

They even provide another shower head at a lower level in case you wanna use a movable type.

The shower gels, shampoo and conditioner they provided smelt nice, I like the smell, a little bit like chocolate. Sweet and nice.

Aha! Something useful for the ladies. Concave mirror that magnifies. Helps you look at your face better while applying makeup or do other stuffs.

Their toilet, look and interpret for yourself. XD

Didn’t use their bathtub, I don’t really like bathtubs. Watch too much horror films.

I didn’t dine in their hotel’s restaurant during my stay there cause there are other food outlets available in One Utama.

Ya…almost forgot, their lift is controlled by the room key card, privacy control.

Overall, the hotel is on the pricey side for me but staying in one that’s comfortable once in a while is fun. Nothing much for me to complain.

That’s all for now.
Next review will be on Sunway Pyramid Tower Hotel.
