Budget Accommodations In Kuala Lumpur And What They Could Provide!


By Tina L. Jones

While traveling for an unpredicted business trip, on a short term trip together with the family, or simply on a constricted budget, one usually prefers booking into a low cost place or a budget accommodation. KL, the capital city of Malaysia, boasts of one of the world cheapest five star hotels. Budget hotels are in abundance there and low cost but comfortable accommodation isn't too difficult to find. Clubbed together with a budget hotels, Kuala Lumpur becomes a well-known spot for tourist.

From Hotel Fortuna, Garden City Hotel, Mayview Glory Hotel, Hotel Sahara, Hotel Chinatown Inn, Swiss Inn to D'Oriental Hotel, Hotel Capitol, Puteri Park Hotel, Citrus Hotel as well as Heritage Station Hotel; the list is never ending. All these places fall under the group of budget hotels. The areas around Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and Chinatown Petaling Street are especially flooded with cheap budget hotels. Most of these hotels in Kuala Lumpur have easy access to main visitor and cultural sites, market places, major industrial areas, business hubs, government agencies and more importantly taxis and Light Rail Train Stations, which make them very convenient for tourists and travelers.

Budget hotels are the famous norm in places like Kuala Lumpur as they make sure easy connectivity to famous market places and the city centre, without being too harsh on the pocket! Most of these cheap hotels KL provide comfy value-for-money rooms, accompanied by low cost but good eating places, or at least in close proximity to the same. In most of those budget hotels, IDD telephone service, Satellite TV, Safe Deposit Box, Internet access, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, cold and warm shower, 24-hour CCTV Security System, laundry services and a pick-up and drop off service from and to the airport, are provided.

Besides, hotels, there are low cost hostels. Hotel Cosmopolitan, Serai Inn and Hostel, Travelers Home and Backpacker, Travelers Inn are but a few available alternatives. These hostels, however, are solely for international tourists and Malaysians aren't allowed to stay at these places. Some of them don't permit Muslims to stay in either. Low cost hotels or hostels, all serve the need of comfortable stay.

The only factor which may go against these budget hotels or low cost hotels is that by virtue of being located in or around busy streets and market places, they typically are a bit noisy and lack total privacy and calm. However, some people may like specifically this about the city- able to see and encounter the hustle-bustle of the streets through the four corners of one room!

These budget hotels would possibly be good for an overnight stay or a two-three day long trip, but might not be preferable for a longer stay. They are mostly for people and travelers who are on the go or into sight-seeing and exploring the city and not for those who like to spend lots of time in the comfort of their hotel rooms. Low cost hotels in Kuala Lumpur have been really well-liked with kids too.
