Checking in at Hotel Capitol’s 10Rooms

Located in the heart of Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Hotel Capitol Kuala Lumpur @hotelcapitolkualalumpur is one of hotels located in the most strategic spot in the city. It is next to the iconic Sungei Wang and Low Yat Plaza. Other nearby shopping malls are Lot 10, Pavilion KL and Times Square. Very convenient and easy to find all kinds of food and entertainment. Restaurants, cafes, fast food, street food, luxury shopping, grocery stores, convenient stores, you name it, you have it!

This time, my wife and I had a #staycation in one of Hotel Capitol’s 10Rooms which are only available on the 19th and 20th floor of the hotel building. Stylish and contemporary designed with cosy ambience and spacious.

The view from the windows is amazing! The best is it comes with a bath tub. Very suitable for honeymoon couples and even to those with young children too.

I managed to make some time for a short workout in their exclusive gym. Very private and comfortable to use. Well equipped with dumbbells and cable machines. There is also a small space for my wife to practice her yoga.

The only minus-point is the parking, which is located in Low Yat Plaza across the road. This could be slightly inconvenient to those who travel with many luggage and bags as you need to carry them from the car park to take the lift and walk across the road to the hotel lobby. However, it is complimentary for hotel guests. All you need to do is to validate the parking ticket with the hotel staff. Remember to choose parking ticket instead of using TNG card upon entering the car park at Low Yat Plaza.

Note to Capitol KL: Two of your staffs, Sunthari and Hasmadi (I hope I got their names right) were very helpful during my check-in and throughout my stay.

I am glad that I have made the right choice to stay a night here in Hotel Capitol KL.

Customize Gifts for Your Loved Ones

I have just received some customized gift items from #Printcious

It’s so amazing as I can design my own t-shirt, coffee mug, canvas print and tote bag. This time, I chose my own physical & mental health theme for the designs. There are many more items available on the website.

For my t-shirt, I design a small box with the alphabets of my name on Printcious’ own website. It was pretty direct and easy to use. The instructions are straight forward to help me to do the design step-by-step.

For my coffee mug, I include the #hooponopono phrases on it. To remind me every morning, to read it at least once a day, for clearance and inner peace.

I chose my favourite picture of me doing a tree pose, taken in Taman Negara last year. I love it very much!

And as for my tote bag, I picked a design available on the website, with the phrase “Sweat is Just Fat Crying”. Hahaha! This is to remind me to exercise regularly.

I love my customized gifts very much. I think this is so suitable for any one and any occasions, like birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Teacher’s Day and many more. Can customized the items with designs based the preferences of the gift receiver.
