Recent emerged boutique budget hotel, Bunk & Bilik was established in several key areas within Klang Valley. One of the business unit is in Jalan Ipoh, size of two redbrick shop-lot along the busy main road and beside a public transport station.

Lobby

Conventional way of check-in procedure with the help of the front desk team - but.... I felt that the process took slightly longer than usual probably due to the unnecessary paperwork. Will be better if they invest a self check-in system, fast and convenient. 

Bunk & Bilik affordable stay starts from RM 69++ with their Deluxe Queen Room that is 12m sq in size, comes with complete basic necessities such as minibar, safe lock, flat screen with satellite channels, desk, in-room telephone, bath towels, hair dryer and hanger. Deluxe room also comes with or without window option. 

Deluxe with Queen Bed, window with back-shop view. 12m sq in space. Roller blind 5% visibility.
Ensuite bath shower includes in-house shower gel, bath towels and hair dryer.
Basic amenities.

Thus, this is a place suitable for backpackers, frequent business travelers or for a short staycation - comfortable bed and pillow, odorless room and functional amenities. For those who intend to stay for a longer period of time, there is a self-service laundry and pantry behind the lobby.

Microwave and water dispenser.

Bunk & Bilik also embrace unity within the community, hence, there is a rooftop area for the guests to enjoy their conversation while overseeing the cities without boundaries, or a smoking area for the in-house guests.

To get to the rooftop, you need to access via staircase.

Rooftop area. Night talk and chill.

New established 5-star hotel, Alila Bangsar located in the heart of vibrant Bangsar district where guests are able to access and experience the richness of local vistas and point of interests. This hotel features recreational facilities such as gymnasium and outdoor "tropical-styled" swimming pool. Apart from that, guests are able to experience executive in-house restaurants as well as enjoy mixology in the bar with infinity skyscraper view. Alila Bangsar has 143 guestrooms are located on floor 35 to 40, offering the best city-view for its guests during their stay.

I booked a studio room for one night via Booking.com with reasonable offer that comes with breakfast, only at RM 290.00 per night.

To access to the hotel lobby can be a little confusing for first timer... First, head to ground floor and you will see a Concierge. Let them know your name and your purpose, and they will lead you to another lift. That lift will then lead you all the way up to 41st floor of the building, that's where the hotel lobby is!
As soon as the lift opens, I was greeted with a nature centerpiece at the hotel lobby 41st floor.
We proceed to check-in. Check-in process took about 5-10 minutes, depending on the situation. After that, there will be a guest relation officer to guide us to our room. There will be another designated lift to access to the hotel rooms. Sounds like a maze, isn't?
While on the way to our room, the guest relation officer will explain about the hotel, facilities and everything that you need to know.

As we are heading to our room, we pass-by an area called Alila Living Room. This area situated at every guestroom floor where there are unlimited supply of local snacks, coffee and tea, so that you can keep your mouth busy during your entire stay.

Guestroom
Meet our 38sqm Studio Room, at 37th floor. This studio room was clean, minimalist and neutral palette colors interior which provides sense of comfort for its guests.
The amenities of the room are well-equipped such as the 4K-HD flat screen TV, minibar, working desk, USB, electrical and media ports as well as toiletries. Speaking of toiletries, such as toothbrush and shaver are available upon request. The toilet are quite cool in the sense of its comtemporary, chic urban styled interior.
No bathtub by the way, if you are wondering.
The mattress and the pillows are very comfortable, which I can sleep soundly at night without waking up in the middle of the night.
Air conditioned works great.
The only problem in the room was the television channels are not working. Apparently, they used IPTV channel and what cause the channels to buffer was the internet speed. Weird thing was... the internet connection worked well on my phone.
 

I have no problem with the water pressure despite living up high at 37th floor. A good water pressure system helps to save water and time spent in the shower room :) This is what 5-star hotel should be like.
Also, the shampoo and shower gel in Alila Bangsar was quite satisfying that it gave me sense of luxury. Good quality shower and shampoo liquid and very aromatic, unlike other hotels that provide cheap and low quality gels.

Recreation (Outdoor swimming pool/ Gym)
One of my favorite spot in Alila Bangsar was the tropical-styled outdoor swimming pool. I dare to say its different than any other hotel swimming pool, which I truly enjoyed chilling here in the entire afternoon. Great place for everyone to dip themselves in the 1.2 meter depth pool or you can read your book on the beach bed while sipping on a cocktail.

The Pacific Standard Bar and the gym is just right beside each other, which I did not take any pictures of.

In-House Restaurant
In Alila Bangsar, you have the option to dine in Botanica & Co. or Entier, a casual french dining restaurant, perched at 41st floor of the hotel. The food in Botanica & Co, in my honest opinion, wasn't good despite its reasonable huge portion. However, I can't comment further for Entier, as I was only there for breakfast.
In the morning, it will be buffet-style breakfast in Entier. Buffet counter may seemed a little pathetic due to its limited choice of food. They provide a la carte menu with extensive choice of food menu.
Malay Set, picked from the menu.

International Breakfast, picked from the menu.

Summary
This is my first experienced stay in Alila Bangsar, which worth the value that I'm paying for. The room is spacious even for the entry room. The tropical-styled outdoor swimming pool is the eye candy of Alila Bangsar. On top of that, travelers like me, could easily access to every place in KL due to its integration with LRT and the nearest public transport available. The check-in and check-out process was seamlessly swift!
