    Like A Phoenix Rising From Ashes.

    When Phoenix Plaza Shopping Mall in Cheras closed down around 2011. there was much speculation that the the mall was being renovated to become a MRT station. Probably due to timing and its location on the proposed train route that made speculations rife. It didn’t turn out as rumoured. It became the Silka Hotel Cheras among other development. I saw yesterday that it was in front of the new Connaught MRT Station on way to Kajang.

    You learn from your customers all the time. There is a new budget hotel that was booked via MyCen Hotels recently. Could not figure out the location until I looked at the map. It is facing the junction of Jalan Peel, near the Buddha Jayanti Temple. Not mentioned officially but it means it is very near Queen’s coffee shop, Ikea Cheras and Pudu Market. The well appointed room are only RM 75 each. Free wi-fi and easy parking too.

    Recommend it to a friend visiting KL, looking for an affordable and decent hotel. Good place to chill out if you come out of TREC/Zouk wobbling. Caution: It is not safe to walk at 3 or 4am because roads are narrow and traffic dangerously fast.

    It is a chain hotel with many locatoions and searching can be confusing, Here is the link to book:

    Monalisa Ding (@monalisading on IG) from Sarawak is a smart shopper. The last time, I featured her, was about her stay in a strategically located hotel in Penang, booked through MyCen Hotels. This time she found another ‘value for money’ deal in another big city, Kuala Lumpur. She booked via my website again and I am grateful for her consistent support.

    She sent me a pic of her room. Beyond the boutique hotel moniker and stylish exterior, the room looked basic but functional. The real attraction may be its location at the heart of Kua;a Lumpur. Petronas Twin Towers and Suria KLCC are a short walk from the hotel. So is the Ampang Park LRT station, The chain has another hotel of the same name in Bukit Bintang.
