So let me start with Hotel Legoland. We booked for a one night's stay but when we were there, we really regretted doing so. We should have stayed at least 3days 2nights. We booked Kingdom room (with 3 little girls, what else would they have wanted).

The hotel offers 3 themes : Pirate, Kingdom and Adventure. There are 4 room types, the themed rooms (standard room, kingdom/ pirate/ adventure), premium rooms (kingdom/ pirate/ adventure), deluxe room (only pirate theme), suite rooms (only kingdom theme).
Premium rooms cost slightly more than the standard themed rooms but the only difference is that for the premium rooms, graphic wallpaper design is found in both parents' and children's room. Standard rooms only has the graphic wallpaper design in the children's room though the parents' were still quite tastefully decorated. Premium rooms also face the legoland park. Both rooms consist of a king-sized bed in the parents' area and a bunk bed with a pull-out trundle bed in the children's area. Both areas are separated by a wooden sliding door that can be locked from the parents' side for privacy purposes. Both areas consist of an lcd tv each so you can enjoy your channel while your children enjoy theirs. Children's channels available are Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. A box of lego set is also provided for your children to entertain themselves with. There is a treasure chest that your child can open after they solve some questions. They will the use the code to open the treasure chest. There are some prizes inside. Check-in time is at 4p.m. while check-out is at 10a.m. There is baggage services provided int he hotel. So if you reach the hotel early and the room is not ready, you can leave your bags with them.
We arrived on the eve of Chinese New Year at 11.30a.m. As we had purchased our 2-day combo tickets together when booking the room (cheaper this way), we had to collect the tickets from Hotel Legoland. Thankfully one of the rooms was ready by then ( we booked 2 rooms as we were travelling with another family), and they allowed us early check-in with no extra charges. The second room was ready at 1.20p.m. We thank Hotel Legoland for allowing this flexibility. Check-in was fast too probably because there were not too many people around at the time. Staff were friendly and approachable. There is a wide play area for kids while you check-in. They can play with the x-box kinect, build with small lego bricks or extra large lego bricks. There is a small castle to play in too.
We were very pleased with our room. Toiletries were provided though iron and ironing board were given only upon request. Toilet is clean with simple design. Each level had fun decorations according to the theme. Lift has disco lights and played YMCA song when you enter. Check-out was fast with the drop-key service.
Breakfast was at Bricks Restaurant. There was quite a variety of food though taste-wise, it could have been better. For a hotel that target children as its customers, I thought the table design could be better. Table had sharp edges and with tons of kids running around, it will just be an accident waiting to happen.
On the first night we stayed, the power tripped in the rooms on our stretch so only the emergency lights in the room were working (still very bright). We were not too worried as we were just leaving for supper. By the time we came back, everything was back to normal. You need to be careful with the lifts. If you have been holding it slightly longer than you should, it will just close without warning and will not open even when you press the lift button.
I did find the aircon a tad bit loud at night though it did not disturb my sleep. Overall, my kids enjoyed staying there. We tried to extend our stay but the rooms were all fully booked so we had no choice but to leave. The hotel is located between Legoland WaterPark and Legoland ThemePark. Medina mall is just next door for you to go for dinner.
We went to Pancake House at Medina Mall for dinner. At first we thought well, a pancake is a pancake is a pancake. So I did not order pancakes. Got myself spaghetti gambero while hubby had the beef tapa. Auni ordered the pancakes. Let me tell you, the pancakes were to die for! It just melts in the mouth. It was so so soft. I've never eaten pancakes as good as that!
Anyway, Legoland Hotel is definitely a convenient place to stay if you are planning to go to Legoland Malaysia. Your kids are sure to love the hotel. We are planning for our next visit already!
