If you are walking, 5 minutes from Giant, 15 minutes to The Curve and Ikea, 20 minutes to 1 Utama. If you are driving, then 1 minute from Giant, 5 minutes to The Curve and Ikea, 15 minutes to 1 Utama, 30 minutes to Sunway Pyramid. There are plenty of food stalls and restaurant right below the Hotel. Please call the hotel at 03-6141 7732.

2. Super Low Budget,
You can sleep in the studio for RM 12 per night. We've martial art matts which are really comfy, but you have to bring your blanket and toileteries. We've shower and water heater in the studio. No alcohol and smoking in the studio. = ) Maybe we can convince the ECX, Twister Genies and Project Elementz to camp with all of you in the studio.

please check back for more updates.
