Raffles is ludicrously expensive and we would never stay there. THe E&O in Penang is reasonably priced and we always stay there. THe rules are simple, we dont take the piss. If you dont take the piss with flights and hotels you cant really take the piss on the drink....
In KL I negotiated us a corporate rate that works out at just above 100 quid a night which is a superb deal for such a great hotel.
