Bangsar is great- outdoor market, lots of cafes and bars. Bukit Bintang is the main shopping district- lively and lots to see. Traffic from Subang to KLCC is OK during non-peak times - 20min. During peak times, it is better to use a hotel limo (they have vested interests to make the trip faster) than a taxi, and may take 45-1hr+ to reach KLCC.

We chose Holiday Villa Subang because of its view by the lake, and it is convenient for our friends to visit us since it is located near all the highways, either driving from the capital city or the north or south of the country, and from the KLIA airport.
The most important of all, we were taking our wedding pictures by the park beside the hotel and holding a wedding ceremony in Kuala Lumpur. The park is a very scenic place through the wedding photo that we took, with the lake (which used to be a tin mining area) and green trees and jogging lanes constituted a well-structured background and created a romantic atmosphere. We also took pictures inside the hotel lobby,where one side of the wall and door provided the effect like a church, while the swimming pool with a lakie view also provide good effects for our photos.
Aside from the wedding, we also found that it is convenient for us to go shopping without the troubles of traffic congestions. We took a cab or sometimes shuttle bus to the KTM station, where we can shopping at the Subang Parade shopping complex, or went straight to KL using the train which took oply 30 minutes where every spot is within walking distance such as Central Market, KLCC.
The night time activity in Sunway Pyramid (which is nearby if taking a cab) is a great experience. There are movies theaters, kiosks, places like Starbuck and Coffee bean, disco, which are as great as those in KL city and in Bangsar. It seems that the whole city is alive when night time comes. We had a great time in Kuala Lumpur except for the traffic condition which may be the same problems faced in all megacities.

Tote a handy GPRS receiver with you. When the time comes to haggle with the cabbie, show him the total distance travelled - it works everytime! It's a good way to go back to places you've been to with the locals when you have to go this time alone - like for shopping, meeting someone, coming back to hammer through a deal, etc.

There's only one airlinr company at Subang at the moment, Berjaya Air, and the sirport is totally empty.
No coffee shops or restaurant is opened anymore.@They've shifted to someother place...
So if you are using Subang Airport to go to Tioman ISland, make sure you get your drinking water and snacks beforehand!

Transportation: taxi or car only. Do not believe the scale on map offered by hotel. Just ask local people or hotel staff about your destination. e.g. How much does taxi cost from here to there, how long does it take.
Restaurant: Since we are local Malaysian food lovers, we had our yummy business in the food court of Summit Parade and Sunway Pyramid. Laksa, Ice Kacang only cost a few ringgits. Inexpensive but taste good!

- suits as hotel location is close to local business association & transit times are much quicker than staying in KL

My destination in KL is wonderful as you can enjoy a lovely country for my vocation. The food is good and very cheap. For the local people, they cost only MYR4-5 for a meal!! The shopping malls are beatiful looking from outside but you find nothing inside. This is the problem of poor economy. People to KL must take extra care about the taxi drivers. In one occasion, I get into a taxi at twin tower in central KL and ask the drivers to go to a hotel nearby. He told me that the fare will be MYR10!! In fact, it should be only MYR3. The problem is that the taxi driver should get their fare according to their meter, not by negotiation!! This is the government regulation.

Inside hotel there are so many various type of restaurants e.g. Japanese, Italian, Thai, International, pub, etc. Many sports activities. If you want to shopping then 5 mins from hotel a well-known shopping center costs you only 4 RM to go there via taxi.
