About This Guide
Real Experience, Honest Recommendations
Why This Guide Exists
When I started organizing corporate events in Malaysia nearly four years ago, I quickly discovered that most hotel information available online was either outdated, overly promotional, or written by people who had never actually planned a business event. The gap between marketing materials and real-world experience was frustrating and costly.
After learning through trial and error which properties deliver on their promises and which fall short, I decided to document this knowledge. This guide represents hundreds of nights stayed, dozens of events organized, and countless conversations with hotel staff, fellow event planners, and business travelers who shared their experiences.
What Makes This Different
Personal Experience
Every hotel featured on this site has been personally visited and evaluated. I do not write about properties based on press releases or promotional materials. If I have not stayed there or organized an event there, it is not here.
Business Focus
Most hotel reviews target leisure travelers. This guide specifically addresses the concerns of business travelers and event planners: meeting facilities, WiFi reliability, business center services, and the practical details that corporate travelers need.
Honest Assessment
No hotel is perfect, and I say so. Each review identifies both strengths and areas for improvement. This balanced approach helps you make informed decisions based on your specific priorities.
Regular Updates
Hotels change, renovate, and evolve their services. I revisit properties periodically and update reviews to reflect current conditions. The last update date is always displayed so you know how recent the information is.
How Reviews Are Conducted
My evaluation process focuses on criteria that matter for business travel:
- Conference Facilities: Size, flexibility, natural light, acoustics, and pre-function space
- Technical Infrastructure: WiFi speed and reliability, AV equipment quality, technical support availability
- Business Services: Business center hours, secretarial support, translation services
- Room Quality: Work desk adequacy, lighting for laptop use, phone charging convenience
- Location: Proximity to business districts, transportation access, convenience for corporate guests
- Service Standards: Responsiveness, problem resolution, understanding of business needs
- Value: Price relative to comparable properties and what is included
Independence Statement
This guide operates independently. I do not accept payment from hotels in exchange for reviews or favorable coverage. When I do receive complimentary stays for evaluation purposes, this is disclosed, and it does not influence the assessment. My recommendations are based solely on what I believe will serve business travelers best.
The site may contain affiliate links to booking platforms. If you book through these links, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This does not affect which hotels are recommended or how they are rated.
Get in Touch
I welcome feedback, questions, and suggestions from fellow business travelers. If you have experiences to share about hotels I have reviewed, or want to suggest properties I should evaluate, please reach out. This guide improves through community input.
For personalized recommendations based on your specific event or travel requirements, I am happy to provide guidance. There is no charge for basic advice, though complex event planning consultation may involve fees depending on scope.
