Hotels near Ramakrishna Mission 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.

First look is nice. But some part of the wallpaper in the room has came off, the tap for the sink is so loose that I can turn left to right. Plus the sint DON'T have hot water. So far I was still OK with this. But then when I was lying down on the bed I noticed only 2 pillows so I tried to call the front desk to ask for 1 more pillow as their pillow is too soft for me, when I pick up the phone in the room don't work! When inform the front desk, they only reply ”ya the phone don't works some time.” with a I don't care face to me. If u have a choice, don't choose this hotel.

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.

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.

Friendly, accommodating staff, willing to help with a smile. Tq to Mr Azizi, a reception officer at Check in Counter were helped to serve us during the check in. He was very helpful and polite. The room is spacious and clean. Breakfast was ok. But need to more variety with Traditional food. This serves to commend on the excellent service rendered by your friendly hotel’s staff during our vacation.The room allocations were done with effortless ease as we arrived there. Will come agaian 👍🏼🌈

Perfect Host and Greystone have their own check in counter (both had rented units at the ground floor as their lobby)..It was a straightforward lobby, nothing special. For check in purpose, everything was all right. I got my keys to my unit within 10 minutes upon registration. Maybe it was on a Sunday, so it was not crowded, only me there checking in. Paid a deposit of RM100 and got my keys to my unit. Actually the building itself consist of shopping complex, retail units and also a hotel previously..so the room that were offered by Perfect Host and Greystone is actually a hotel room. I did not explore the building but it is not as lively as before when I visited before in 2017. There is a MyNews at the ground floor near to the lobby, so it was convenient to get some essentials if u need. There are also a pub, Victoria Station restaurant also..and some other food outlet but limited choices. The corridor of the hotel room need some housekeeping (can c that it was not cleaned for some time), but the room inside was fantastic clean and comfortable. So it was a surprise for me as outside the hotel corridor and inside the room there is a whole lot of difference. Trust me, the room is the same as the picture in Trip.com. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower gel and shampoo smells good too. For room, I have no complaint.It exceed my initial expectation (after reading some reviews), but the outside corridor of the room really need some cleaning. Some of the negative review about this place is the parking. Yup, it is actually an issue but sometimes not everything is perfect, but I don't blame the host as they are only running an AIRBNB concept, so for me is acceptable as the rate im paying per night (RM63 Nett), is still ok for me. For parking wise, it really depends on when u r checking in..if is on a Sunday or Saturday, there would be ample parking within the ground floor. If is on a weekdays, then it might be full. But dont worry there is basement parking as well. The rate is calculated RM12 per entry per day for the parking at the ground floor (same level as the lobby) and this comes to RM24 for 2 days provided if you are not leaving the hotel. If it is at the basement, then it goes by the hour (you need to do your own calculation whether is most cost worthy to park, how many hours u r gonna park there). Other than that, for me at the rate I am paying and also quality of the room (minus the parking issue and cleaniness of the corridor), I would give this place the thumbs up. Good stay for me, but of course this is only my personal opinion as a reference.I would rate this place 4 out of 5 star.

Honest review here - first of all the service of the workers is good and helpful so i rate 5 starts for their service but really had to say the hotel is quite old and the sofa is not really clean , can see many dusk inside the rotan sofa. Beside the shower room is not really clean as the shower head have obvious black stain which we not sure what was this as a four star hotel the amenities they provided have comb however I saw hair in the new comb plastic so I didn’t use it. Cleanliness and environment should be improve but had to thumbs up to the worker there really helpful and nice. And extra , breakfast is not bad as well.

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.
