From The Coronade Hotel to MABA

• By taxi - reasonable fare should be RM6.00 to RM10.00 but good luck for getting that. And be warned, traffic is very congested in KL city. It can be a short ride if you do not get stuck in the traffic but it could be a 30 minute ride during rush hours.
• By monorail - to KL Sentral direction, only two stops, get off at Hang Tuah Station a.k.a. PRUDENTIAL. Take Stadium Negara Exit (opposite exit to all the tall apartments). Walk down the street and follow the Grand Olympic Hotel sign. About 10 minutes walk, you should see MABA on your right hand side.

How to get there from KL airport?

• By taxi alone (about 75km) - If there are two of you to share the cab ride, this is a good option. Taxi fare runs from RM70.00 ~ RM.150.00 ( I know.....unbelievable! Negotiate is the word.)
• By KLIA Ekspres and taxi - KLIA Ekspres ticket counter is right after you cleared customs and before you pick up your luggage. One way fare is RM35.00 and there is no discount with round trip tickets. Express train ride to KL Sentral is about 28 minutes. Hail taxi outside KL Sentral. Do not go for taxi service counters as they provide premium service with a premium rate. Taxi fare to the hotel usually go from RM11.00 ~ RM15.00. So, before you get yourself into a taxi, you must agree on a price with the taxi driver!
• By KLIA Ekspres and monorail - there is a short walk from KL Sentral to monorail station. It costs only RM2.10 from KL Sentral to Bukit Bintang (DIGI) station. The only disadvantage I can see is you will have to haul your heavy luggage around a bit. Our hotel is right by the monorail station, Bukit Bintang, and next to department store Lot 10 - a green building.

Where is the monorail station?

1. When you arrive at KL Sentral by KLIA Ekspres, instead of turning right at exit to catch a taxi, you go straight and follow Hilton/Meridien sign.
2. You will see Subway and walk into a narrow walk way with many little shops. If you spot a big red sign "M" for McDonald, you are on the right track.
3. At the end of the narrow walk way, it opens up and you will see more little shops and lots of people. Take a left and walk all the way out through glass sliding doors.
4. Walk down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, you will get hassled by tour bus operators, or taxi drivers. But persevere and go through the human wall and take a left and cross the parking area where all the buses and taxis parked. Once you reached the other side, take a left again and walk towards the shops with white tents.
5. At the end of these tents and you will see monorail sign on the other side of the street.

Catch monorail to The Coronade Hotel

1. Purchase a value card as you will need it to for the next 3 days to travel back and forth from the hotel to MABA.
2. Get off at Bukit Bintang Station a.k.a. DiGi (in yellow) - 5 stops, about 8 minutes from KL Sentral.
3. Look for Lot 10 - a green building. Our hotel is right next to it.
