we visited on December 2024. Overall, the environment feels quite old fashioned, but they are doing some renovation on their residence wing while we was there, not sure it should be completed by now.

overall, don’t think will revisit as the hotel is dated (although spacious) and breakfast is okay, nothing memorable.

While we were there, we went to non halal food court in misvalley, nearby California fitness, the oyster omelette is very yum

As you can see, the wooden flooring next to pool is very old. And seating next to pool is limited as well

Overall dont think I will revisit Dorsett Grand Subang nor Hartamas, read more below. But think may try their Putrajaya and KL ones in future due to they have 26-hour stay open when you book via the hotel’s website (pay slightly more to stay 26 hours, meaning can check in 3pm, then check out next day 5pm)

Dorsett Hartamas on December 2024

We had nice tomato soup with cheese toast and also a ok ok Pistachio paris brest in Orito nearby, i would have prefer the pistachio filling to be more creamy and slight softer.

The room layout is very dated, the breakfast is not bad. Their swimming pool is open till 10pm!

Dorsett Grand Subang as below in Jan 2025

their breakfast is quite terrible, ie the whole area is small and the tables are jam packed, due to this, think we wont revisit. Other than that it is quite great, we went on a room with Club access with coffee machines, some cookies, and dinner 6-7:30pm, the selection is small, but they are some tasty items and enough to fill our tummy, and there is a large park (with artsy vibe) nearby where we went for a walk the next morning,

1. Iron House cafe Food are yummy, did try their curry pork nasi lemak as well which is large portion and yummy 2. More Yogurt. Not bad, can try, but still prefer Yoomi in midvalley which has more sourish yogurt taste

we had a few staycation on end of 2023. Amari hotel location is not bad, can walk to Gardens Mall/midvalley. Gardens Hotel and Boulevard would be my choice if it weren’t for my company got corporate rate for Amari (around RM400 all inclusive of taxes). Those other 2 hotel would b more convenient, as the Amari hotel walking distance is a bit far.

the thing I like about Amari is their buffet, with a few nice fresh fruit juices with can be rare for rm400-ish hotel. Pastries are nice and choice abundant

Above is breakfast before we checked into Amari. We had breakfast in Antipodean misvalley. So yummy and portion huge, their mushroom soup below very yummy as well 

One thing I dislike is the hotel view we gotten is quite bad, all block by residential tower

Tapao from Alexis, very yummy!! Piping hot as well. Price is expensive but very yumm

I recently had baby delivery in Putrajaya Hospital FPP (full paying customer) program whereby it is government hospital, but by paying a reasonably cheap amount, you get to have baby delivered via specialist doctor of your choice in the hospital. In Putrajaya, there is only 3 doctor you can choose: Dr Hazim(head of dept), Dr Azim and a Malay lady doctor. I went on a Friday afternoon when they have a session for all who want to join this program to book your doctor and to be brief on the charges etc. I went to Friday session not knowing which doctor are avail for choosing nor which doctor I want. At the end, i chose Dr Hazim solely cos overhearing ppl attending the Friday session say Dr Azim like to propose Caesarean.

They did proposed caesarean due to my age(close to 40) and also cause not have baby for long time after married(maybe >2-3 years consider long for them?). Anyway I request to try vaginal birth due to I not have any health issue(gestational diabetes etc) but only my advancing age, and thank God bb come out 8hours after induced, which is really fast I think for first bb.

Total delivery fee for vaginal birthday(with vacuum) with 2 night stay, ie 1 day prior delivery and 1 day post delivery: 3k.

My bb did stayed in special care nursery (SCN) for 5 days after birth due to some issue and had to be administered 5 days antibiotics, and that is under government, not FPP, for only <RM100. The SCN is very well equip, clean and pleasant environment, they are many baby inside, maybe ~ 30+ visiting permit for either mother or father at a time at visiting hours(afternoon/dinner time).

Overall, my experience is not bad, one of the reason I go putrajaya for delivery is due to many good comments on FPP program, and don’t have to be “slaughtered” in private due to my age la… BLA BLA…  😀

The wait for room to stay on day prior to induction/labour is quite long and tiring, we went very early morning and can’t recall but I think 3/4pm only gotten a room. I bought a lot for eating from their canteen while waiting for them in hospital for their callback once room available, prob ate lots due to tired, suspect I gain 2 kg from eating that day lol… My weight on delivery day was 84kg, weight before pregnant was 64kg. Now 74kg with bb is 11 months. Still fat

They is a visiting hours. My hub stayed with me (after delivery) as managed to get the more expensive room(~RM300). Prior to delivery, have to stay my own as not able to get the executive room. I was alone in 3 bedded room, nice not have to share, but the room is freezing and no way to lower the Aircon as it is centralized air con

Simple food provided on morning before induced at 8am. Just enough cos my mum tapao chee cheong fun, which I later ate, but puke out, due to very uncomfortable contraction after induced.
