For most of us average-earning young adults, going on an extravagant and lush vacation or getaway can seem a little far-fetched. But who says you can’t have an equally enjoyable holiday without breaking the bank? To guide you, we’ve put together a list of 10 neat budget accommodations that cost RM150 and below (per night) around Malaysia for you to check out. Go crazy!
1. Orange Pekoe Guesthouse, Kuala Lumpur – This is a cosy guesthouse located at the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur and it is only a five-minute stroll away from Bukit Bintang. Clean, welcoming and comfortable, this humble abode is also rated by TripAdvisor as KL’s number one bed and breakfast accommodation.
2. Container Hotel, Kuala Lumpur – As its name states, this hotel is literally built to look like an actual container and it is built only using recyclable materials as well as a green architectural design. We love how urban and classic the place looks, and it is perfect for those who are looking for a different hotel experience!
3. Ibis Styles, Kuala Lumpur – This new hotel recently opened its doors in 2013 and the rooms offered are extremely modern and well-kept. For the price you’re paying, we think that it’s definitely worth every buck as the hotel also provides all the amenities you need such as free WiFi, a minibar, fridge, LCD TV and safe deposit box.
4. Ryokan Chic Hotel, Petaling Jaya – Japanese inspired, this hotel has plenty to offer and each suite is tastefully designed to suit every traveller’s needs. It is also located in the middle of Petaling Jaya’s business hub, so it’ll be easy to get around!
5. One Avenue Hotel, Petaling Jaya – Boasting a typical Malaysian style of living, this hotel is uniquely designed with a blend of modern and contemporary technology for the convenience of both business and leisure travellers. Whether you’re travelling alone or with a family, there’s definitely going to be a room suited for you.
6. The Verve Hotel, Petaling Jaya – Managed by a dedicated team of staff, this hotel is uniquely built with a consistent theme throughout to create an ambience and experience for travellers. This hotel is also equipped with a gym and infinity pool, which makes it all the more worth your money.
7. My Home Hotel, Petaling Jaya – My Home Hotel is specially designed with the comfort of a home in mind. With nine branches opened in the Klang Valley, you’ll be assured to know that this hotel chain is highly established, with good reputation and reviews, of course.
8. Knocknock Home, Malacca – If you constantly visit Malacca, you must experience Knocknock Home. It’s a cosy vacation home that’s refurbished from an old pre-war building in the buffer zone of the Malacca UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is only a stone’s throw away from all the city’s major attractions.
9. Malibest Resort, Langkawi – If you’re looking to stay close to the beach, Malibest is the right accommodation for you. Located along the powdery miles of Cenang beach, enjoy the breeze and the sounds of the waves from the comfort of your guesthouse or suite.
10. Roomies Boutique Bed and Breakfast, Penang – Roomies is a no-frills accommodation that’s clean, comfy and affordable. Fairly brand new, this B&B also offers room rental for a six-hour period with 40% off the regular rate, in case you want to take a short nap and freshen up before you hit the road.
