Hotels near KLAS Art Auction in Petaling Jaya

This was my first time staying at Avante, and I enjoyed it! Room was spacious, clean and bright. The infinity pool was big and the view was very nice. The buffet spread was good, love the salad bar where you can harvest your own salad. We visited the lounge at sky deck, drinks were reasonably priced. Hotel staff were friendly and professional. Lastly, location was good too. It only took us 5min to walk to 1 Utama via the sheltered linkway. We will definitely come back again. Thank you Avante for the wonderful stay.

The hotel has always been my top choice for staycation in pj area. But unfortunately I have something to say with their newly launched parking payment system after my recent visit. First of all, it is already bad to require their guests who drive to pay for parking fee during their stay in the hotel. And despite providing a flat rate of RM3.00 to their guest, none of the staff has taken initiative to inform until being asked ( neither does the payment notice as indicated in my attached photos has shown any clue about that) . Even after being asked, they failed to provide clear instruction on the way to redeem, and eventually I had to pay extra for the parking fees due to the lack of notification and instruction.

Unexpected with the facilities provided, more to 5 stars hotel, if you just plan to stay for a night with 5 star hotel feeling, make a book with Greystones Centrestage.

Stayed there during a business trip for 2 nights. Super friendly check-in, even at 12 mid night. The counter staff, specifically Mohd Ashraf, is a delight and extremely knowledgeable. I found him to be courteous, professional and accomodating, even at very late at night, and still the only person at the counter. Discovered the Superior King room had no fridge and the shower gel container was empty when I checked in. Told Housekeeping and it took a day for them to find a mini fridge but they somehow failed to refill the shower gel container. Luckily, I brought my own shower gel. There was no centralised lighting switch in the room. Everything had to be switched on and off manually. The shower area was partially cleaned with dust trails all over the edges. The same with the toilet. And the same with the room. This told me the housekeeping staff only cleaned the most covenient areas and did not do a thorough job. But it was ok. The bed and pillow was super nice and the room was quiet even though it was facing the monorail Kota Damansara station. I also remembered to close the curtains for some privacy. It was a direct line of sight to this station and the main road. Even though the monorails were running, I could barely hear any noise. The two nights were very peaceful and I woke refreshed and ready. The wireless broadband in the room was very good and I conducted several video calls and two video conference sessions in the evening and at night. The table and chair was suited to my needs. Housekeeping also did not replenish my complimentary water bottles but again, it was only a slight inconvenient as the electric kettle was really useful. I had to remove the electic kettle from its box as the steam from the boiling water really fogged the upper glass kitchentop. Parking was super convenient. Totally loved the breakfast buffet. Had my business conversations and caught up with my business partner during breakfast. Breakfast ended at 10.30am but that is plenty of time. The kuih-muih or local pastry was beyond my expectation and very very very good. The miso soup was incredible and the staff actually knew how to do perfect half boiled eggs. Not hard boiled and not raw - served nicely on a tiny bowl. The chef would actually break the eggs into the bowl separately to make sure it was acceptable, then combined it into a single bowl. Perfect. I have stayed in many hotels and I am glad it was available at Royale Chulan Damansara. The salami and cheese choices were very very good and so is the assortment of curries and roti canai. Absolutely delicious. The only item not on par was the coffee machine.

Had a pleasant and enjoyable stay overall. However, I remember booking a superior room with a king bed on the app but we got a room with 2 twin beds instead. We were too tired from our trip to make a fuss about it and just joined the beds together. Perhaps, the cleaning staff should clean under the beds once in a while. Photos are the beds and view of the town from our window.

Hotel is under construction, best avoid for anyone with dust allergies. Rooms are dated. Hallway had roaches and in room ants. Bath tub is always clogged and room had noises in them like someone throwing paper around in aircond vent all day long. Bed sheet had blood stains that was never changed eventhough 3 days in a row the card was put on the pillow to change it but it was never changed.

Stay end may 2023. Hotel has past it glory day. Took family room 618. The king size bed and 2 single bed are separate by a sliding door. There is only a single toilet inside with standing shower, bathtub, basin area, toilet area separate. So need not wait for each other to finish their shower time. I think the staffs did the best in cleaning up the room. But some areas are really either spoilt or tore etc. Can be seen from the photos taken. Currently the hotel is under going renovation. Hopefully it can improve in the room lighting, spoilt areas and tore areas. Also the door knots from the outside seem to be falling apart liao. TV channels also limited for a so call 4-5 stars hotel. Therefore the 500 RM price tag for the family room is not worth it. This hotel is near the malls the curve, IPC and ikea, and kidzania. You can also use the MRT to go to other places. There is another hotel call royal chulan damasara. So be careful not to mix up the 2 hotels.

The exhaust fan of toilet seem broken or install inversely, when open the toilet switch (light and exhaust fan), the 'incredible' smelly/odor coming from exhaust fan. I had called the service twice but they just spray fragrance only, they say will call the engineer come, 1030pm wait till 12am, and they say engineer not free/ still servicing other rooms. Imagine bath/ bath tubing and can't use exhaust fan, feel dizzy in there, I booked this hotel cuz I need relax and enjoy the bath tub but sadly I can't. Btw I also saw the staff's fragrance spray remain in the room from last guest when I check in (I self put at the walkway) and make me think, it not getting fixed. The room is clean, interior is very nice but the odor make us can't enjoy it.

I arrived around 9pm at the hotel, check in process was really fast. They only need your IC then you are good to go. Location was great, you will need to walk like 300metres from the hotel to the mrt station. (You can see from my picture the mrt station) Parking: A lot of parking was there, no worries with parking issues. Cleanliness: 10/10. Everything very clean, they scrub the toilet well. No stain found on the bedsheet. I like the soap very well! Great stay and good experience!

Day 1 waited for awhile due to some miscommunication from agent on changing my room which I didn’t. Day 2 aircon broke down & hotel arranged to change to another room (which I’m happy as it’s direct view for fireworks, previous room can’t really see much fireworks) but door lock got issue & abit frustrating when opening the door but as it’s last day so didn’t bother to change room again.
