I checked the starwood reviews on this property. They are all over the map.
For point redemptions, this property is on par with both the Sheraton & Le Meridien Putrajaya. For a 1st stay, seems that Meridien is more predictable? |

I'd go with Sheraton, but I think Element is actually much cheaper on points.

I'll be staying over Chinese New Year and will definitely report back :D I stayed at this property for my third and final night in KL during the last week of November, after two nights at the Aloft. I used points for both properties, which was a great deal as paid nights were pretty high that week. The Aloft was good, but a bit blah. The Element, on the other hand, was a great one-nighter. I was a gold elite for the stay, and it was my 50th night of the year qualifying me to platinum. Elite recognition was great all-around, and I got an upgrade to a one bedroom suite. As a gold member, two coupons for drinks in the lobby were given to me, and a 2 PM late check out was no problem. The staff were all amiable and courteous, and I'd stay there again. |

I just booked this hotel for a stay in mid-Feb. It looks like I should get breakfast and 1 bedroom upgrade as Plat Premier.
Anymore recent reports from Plats/Plat Premier? |

I was there last week and can echo the comments re Breakfast, I have had great food there be it breakfast or other last year, last week it was very disappointing. Apart from that it’s a good choice, in a city with many good choices. |
Hmm. Looking forward to my stay in a couple weeks. Too bad about the breakfast spread!
|
For award bookings, for non Malaysians, is there a ten ringgit per night charge for taxes? Any other fees? thank you |
No more free breakfast
Staying now and was told at check in there is no free breakfast option for Ambassadors at Elements. Either 500 points or 15 RM. The 15 RM is equivalent to $3.50, so I found that a bit insulting. I stayed sometime last year and was given breakfast, so must be a new policy. I was given an upgrade, but to a suite that was missing a table (just a giant empty space where the table used to be). Last year I was given a skyline view suite, which was great, and available this time as well. The check in felt very cold and I can't say I'm motivated to stay here again.

Elements don't offer free breakfast as a benefit
It's quite weird. |
Walked past this hotel recently.
It's a 2 min walk to or from "Ampang Park" metro LRT station line number 5 (red color). This line connects directly to "KL Sentral", the central railway station "Ampang Park" station has both escalators and an elevator all the way from platform to exit, so practical if you have heavy luggage. Follow the exits for the intercontinental hotel to get to the "element" hotel. Also, you can actually walk to and from "element" hotel from the station even if you are pulling heavy luggage as there are no huge roads to cross, no missing sidewalks, and no other obstacles along the way (as is sadly the case when trying to walk from metro stations to the majority of hotels and buildings in Kuala Lumpur). Finally, if you want to hotel hop, the Intercontinental hotel is 1 min walk away (right next to the station exit). |
