KL Sentral
Exclusive Hotels in KL
"Kuala Lumpur’s Sentral Station is hub of the city’s rail network. Bustling with commuters it’s a hive of activity. Sitting on top all this is the Nu Sentral Shopping Centre. It’s the place where locals shop and eat. It’s connected through a walkway with Hilton KL Sentral and Le Meridien. The mall is home to some of the top fashion labels. The money changer on lower ground, offers competitive rates. Also on this level is Sam’s Groceria supermarket, perfect to grab a meal. There’s a sushi bar, or choose from the local dishes. Next door is MBG the fresh fruit shop."

To Singapore, Tumpat, Hat Yai
To take the train from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and visa versa is very easy. The Malaysian rail system is extremely well
developed on this track. Except for the annoyance at the border crossing from Singapore, where you are forced to get out of the train
and wait in a huge customs line. The trip takes about six or so hours, but is quite relaxing, and better then the bus on weekends (traffic).
There are 8 trains a day going to Singapore, 2 trains are going to Tumpat (through the jungle to Kota Bharu) and to trains are leaving for Hat Yai (in Thailand).
