Upon airport arrival:

1. bus - from KLIA, take a the red SkyBus to the KL Sentral train station, 48 kms. When you alight from the bus at KL Sentral, take one flight up and follow the direction to the Monorel (Monorail) Line. This takes you out of KL Sentral for a 3-min walk outside the station thru the Skybridge
2. train - take the Monorail - no need to worry which direction to take as this is the start of the line...there is only one direction. Get off at the Maharajalela station, 2 stops. Follow the sign to Chinatown when exiting the train station
3. walk - when you face the main road, turn right and walk a few meters until you pass this temple. You will see Jalan Petaling Street. Turn right, follow this road and keep walking straight. The hotel is on your right. If you are walking on the middle of the road (it is close to traffic), you should see this on your ride. If you are walking on the sidewalk on the right side, you should see this instead. That's the hotel.
