The Hotel where we stayed.

Its called Novotel Hotel. We stayed here after a brief stint at Le Meridien.

We are full of praises for this hotel. Afterall its still new (opened 6 months ago) so you could still smell the cements on the wall, and some parts of the hotel are still under construction. Only one type of room is available while the other still work in progress. The staff were friendly and helpful. The settings and furnishings are nice, modern and of course new. This was our deal, for now they offered free internet connections, as long as you have your own laptop. But they do have a computer at the lobby if you dont have a laptop with you. Breakfast is included for 2 and you're charged RM220++ per night, with free breakfast for children below the age of 16. Free extra bed or baby cot. All these came within 10 minutes after requesting for it. What else? Swimming pool is adequate. Oh the hotel is connected to 1Borneo so you definitely do not need transportation to get to 1Borneo. If you stayed at diferent hotels, there were ample parking spaces at the basement, also free of charge at the moment.

This is the reception of Novotel Hotel where you checked in.

At the same time we checked in, the hotel had a VIP visitor, their Minister of Tourism. They greeted him with a lion dance.

The LCD tv in our room. That side table was unique. You got to be there to see it. Overall it was a very nice room with the wooden flooring. Very nice. Another unique feature of this hotel. The glass see-through wall between the bedroom and the washroom. At first we were awestruck with it, how would everyone do their business with a wall like that???? Anyway, there was a curtain to block the view of course.

Our beds. The 3rd one was free of charge, for now. You just had to request for it.

The scale in the built-in cabinet. Not so many hotel provided this facility. A reminder for everyone not to over indulge in our meals i think. Breakfast setting at level 5, a restaurant called 'The Square". Loved this place, its so calming and comfortable. And I love the culinary, i mean the plates. They came in different designs. And the food were not too bad either.
My girl making her choices. Eat all you can! We were in fact very full after breakfast that we skipped lunch altogether. And Ayang had her breakfast for free.
Our only setback, on the 2nd day at Novotel we were attacked by scores of red ants. We didnt know where they came from and we were on the 10th floor. As usual we complained to reception and they took care of it while we went out to shop.A quick check on hotels next door to Novotel. This is the lobby of Mercure Hotel. Not too bad too. And the rates were quite reasonable.
A different area of Mercure Hotel with the unique table.
This is Tune.com Hotel main lobby. What can I say, it didnt look so appealing, just like a small cafetaria. But who's complaining, this is a budget hotel.
Also a lobby at Tune.com hotel in a different area, its an open concept altogether.
Very blur but what it said was you can rent a towel, aircon and TV with a price! It didnt come with the rate of the hotel.
Well, thats it, folks. We still have a lot of pictures, maybe more next time.
