BEN Day 1 │ HOTEL KRISTAL Bentong

A Place Filled With Memories

Happy National Recovery Plan (NRP) Phase 4, Kuala Lumpur!

Back in the days when I worked for a bank in Kuala Terengganu, I often performed relief duties at branches along the East Coast — and Bentong was one of the places I was frequently posted to. Because of that, we’ve been coming to this hotel for close to 20 years, although this was our first visit since the pandemic.

A Fresh New Look

In that time, the hotel has undergone a major facelift. It has transformed itself into a chic and contemporary space while still retaining the familiar charm we’ve always loved. If it was our default hotel before, it will be even more so now.

The rooms are spacious, the atmosphere feels refreshed, and the overall experience is better than ever.

Why We Love This Hotel

If we had to list the top three things we love about this hotel, it would be:

1. Location
2. Location
3. Location!

Everything we need is close by — food, shops, the morning market, and all the little conveniences that make a stay comfortable and stress free.

A Special Thanks

A big shout out to Ms Tong for handling our booking and making sure all our small little needs were met. It’s the personal touches that keep us coming back.

Our Verdict

Refreshed, reinvented, and still wonderfully familiar — this hotel remains very highly recommended in our books.
