Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside Hotel

I recently attended a 2-day conference in Putrajaya over the weekend and dear hubby booked us in Pullman Putrajaya Hotel for the weekend.

It is the nearest hotel to PICC (Putrajaya International Convention Centre) and I could come back to the hotel during the 1-hour lunch break.

The hotel's famous clock tower

The check-in was delayed (around 5pm) as the occupancy was at 100%, adding to the fact that the hotel was hosting a wedding and a conference at the same time as well as the conference I attended in PICC. 

Due to the delay, front desk provided us with free drinks at their lounge.

I couldn't stay long with hubby due to the conference so l returned to PICC whilst hubby and toddler planned on what to do prior to checking in. 

Luckily, we were able to leave our luggage at the front desk.

Hubby fetched me from the conference later that evening.

One thing you'll get confused at is the basement parking ... they have several wings which are named after the theme of the hotel rooms. 

Jasmine (Indian architecture), Rafflesia (Borneo), Bunga Tanjung (traditional Malay architecture) and Lotus (Chinese architecture).

You may ask the hotel staff where you need to park to gain access to their reception area for check-in purposes.

However, since we knew which room we were checked-into, hubby made his way to the Rafflesia wing where we took the elevator straight to our floor.

Sorry, picture a bit blurry ... and our room is messy too!

Our room (Borneo theme), RM300+ per night with a King-sized bed

We have an extra bed for our toddler, too

The one thing I noticed was that the hotel is poorly maintained.

Our bathroom door had holes in them ... not fixed ... it was quite obvious so am not sure why housekeeping didn't notice this?

The flooring in the room, felt as if it had never been swept.

The carpet looks worn and doesn't seem to have been vacuumed, let alone washed.

The bathroom also seemed like it had not been cleaned properly.

The elevator we used from the basement to gain access to our room was poorly maintained too ... the carpeting was torn, the walls had dents.

The basement parking had cobwebs on the ceiling and there were spots where water seems to leak from the piping system.

Paint had come off from the pillars and wall.

It is such a shame that such magnificent infrastructure which boasts a luxurious feel is poorly maintained yet still manages to charge RM300+ a night and people are still flocking over.

Pullman is surviving ... owing to the close proximity to PICC.
