Quality Hotel City Centre, Kuala Lumpur

Advantages: Peaceful Town, Low Living Cost
Disadvantages: English is not well used by locals

...Peninsular, The British had made some agreement with the Kingdom of Thailand and after that, Terengganu had been under the British rule. And automatically bring Terengganu into the British Malayan territories. Now, Terengganu is well known as one of the main petroleum and gas producers in Malaysia. Other than that, Terengganu is one of the best tourism states in Malaysia because of their beaches and marine parks and islands. Kuala Terengganu now is still the capital states of Terengganu and had been the main place for the economy, culture and religious centre of the east coast of peninsular Malaysia.

Advantages: Beautiful hotel and very professional
Disadvantages: Too far from city centre

For leisure, a large swimming pool, squash and tennis courts, massage services, sauna and jacuzzi and general gymnasium are available for most part of the day.
