GTower Hotel

My last vacation was March last year and I do not wish to recall any part of it. Except for the shoes and bracelet.

There is something appealing about vacationing in KL. It was so exciting when I first came to KL as a kid - me and my dad would take a bus from Ipoh and we'd spend a whole day in Kinokuniya. Back then, we could sit on the floor and no one would bother us. My favorite spot was at the children's section and the windows overlooked the lake and fountain. Now they put book racks there and chase you off for sitting. Those were good ol' days.

Ya well, my kind of trip is different from yours.

Then I moved to KL for college and subsequently work, so now I see KL in a slightly differently - blah. But it's a whole different story when I go for vacation, well, in KL. (go on, laugh). I get to be a kid again, and I don't have to worry about emails and reports and deadlines.

So this time, I chose GTower Hotel for a 3 days 2 nights stay.

All for me! Clean room, Wifi's speed was fast, TV channels were okay (Star World airing too much of Witches of East End) and there's a Subway downstairs in the cafeteria. The only bummer thing about this hotel is that it shares the building with offices, so I'd end up the only under dressed person around.


Yes, there's a TV in the bathroom. So you can take a dump and watch TV at the same time.
The hotel was situated at the corner of Jalan Tun Razak, and it was right next to the Ampang Park LRT station. So I took the train to KLCC and sat in front of the fountain - just like old times.
