They said the lounge access is something like 4300yen per child!
You say you were able to talk them out of it. Is this something one can generally expect to talk them out of charging? Just want to know for future purpose. I wish they'd do away with this policy.
from my experience:
Conrad Singapore - bring 1 extra guess, no charge
Double Tree JB - 2 extra guess, charged, managed to get it waived
Double Tree KL - 1 extra guess, no charge
Hilton KL - 1 extra guess, charged, managed to get it waived
Hilton Bandung - 1 extra guess, charged, not waived
so really depends on the hotel's discretion
