    Have not been taking LTR for ages in KL. My friend told me the ride itself will take approx 25-30mins excluding walking time.

    Hi smashmouth,
    From Radius International HOtel to Bt Jalil Station, it should be around 1/2 hour max but always give allowance like peak time, rain and so on.
    From hotel, just walk to front entrance of Sg Wang Plaza, take the Monorail to go to Hang Tuah Station, get off and change to LRT, to go to Bt Jalil, look for end station, Seri Petaling and not Sentul, jump into it and it will take you there in 20 mins or so. Have a nice holiday here and don't forget to shop till you drop, lol.
    Cheers,
    chris

    Hi Rama, don't forget alternative trains going to Ampang Station do not go to Seri Petaling, and the split off is at Chan Siao Lin Station.

    Just got the info. The Official Hotel of the World Championship 07 will be Mines Hotel known as Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel and Palace Beach and Spa. Both is the same vicinity and situated 10mins from the Bukit Jalil Stadium.

    hotels and transports

    Since the best mode is LRT, minus the traffic and parking..i would suggest u guys to stay somewhere near the LRT station. Need not be Sri Petaling. It's always full there. You can stay somewhere ie. Cheras, or anywhere. COuld be cheaper elsewhere compare to Palace of the golden horse and SP.

    Good part of staying at Palace Of The Golden Horses, you get to see and take pictures with players from China, Korea, Malaysia, England, Denmark.
    Bad part is you need to pay more for accomodation, it won't be cheap, trust me.
    There some good reasonable hotels at Bukit Bintang, all walking distance to Monorail/LRT station, at the same time, good shopping places as well, like killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
    Best place still at B Bintang and foods plentiful at Jalan Alor.

    No point for you guys in staying in Holiday Villa as it is far from the stadium. Nearest is still Mines Hotel.

    How about trying a new hotel concept with no frills at www.tunehotels.com. You can also try the YMCA.

    Yes, Tune Hotel is also a great saving hotel, situated at the heart of KL, Sogo Shopping Centre just in front of the hotel, nearest LRT is about 5 mins walk, Sultan Ismail LRT, just behind the hotel, take this train, interchange or end station is Seri Petaling, it will take you to Bt Jalil LRT where WBC held.

    If want to save budget, then it will be near City Centre (which wont be NEAR to the stadium). So, it makes no different if stay in PJ or KL, because both will need to travel through commuters or buses. Actually, it is not very troublesome too, especially for people who wants to enjoy new places in Malaysia...

    Hotel rated 3/4 stars can be found here (too many to list down) :-
    http://book.easyhotel.com/city.asp?query=Malaysia+Kuala-Lumpur+MY+KUL+3+0

    The Palace of Golden Horses & PB is consider quite expensive, im not to sure about the mode of transport (mostly people who stay there will DRIVE), although it is not consider far from the stadium.

    Online or call to book is a no problem. However, please do not put high expectations for cheap hotel in Malaysia :cool:
