HOTELS IN KUALA LUMPUR: Where we stayed at
Here's a list of affordable and luxury hotels where we stayed and personally tried on our previous Kuala Lumpur trips.
Ibis Hotel KLCC
Location: 32 Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Average Guest Rating: 8.5 (Excellent)
Room Rates: starts at ₱2,253 per night
This hotel is a model of contemporary convenience. The Ibis Hotel KLCC maintains the trendy appearance of the ibis brand popularized by its European properties. Rooms are well decorated and styled with a dash of fun art. The locally inspired Kampung Kitchen and rooftop pool round out the things I seek for in a hotel: a good breakfast buffet and a place to unwind afterward.
The Chow Kit - an Ormond Hotel
Location: 1012, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Chowkit / Putra WTC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Average Guest Rating: 8.8 (Excellent)
Room Rates: starts at ₱1,847 per night
The Chow Kit Hotel is conceptualized by Ormond Hotel to bridge the city's past into the present. Through its 113 rooms that blend tradition with modernity, drawing inspiration from its heritage-laden surroundings, guests are re-introduced to Kuala Lumpur's rich character that is experiencing a renaissance in the storied Chow Kit district where it is located.
Fellow travel writer Ruth Dela Cruz said, “I feel like I’m in a European setting” (“of a Wes Anderson film” — I added), as she pointed out the warm lights, and retro grandeur vibe of the property. I love how my room is overlaid with vintage features, such as brass-and-porcelain vanity sinks and upholstered chairs with patterned textiles similar to those found at Chow Kit's markets of past and present.
The downstairs' double-floor restaurant presents a picture of Victorian flair with a bar riffing elements of a traditional coffee shop (kopitiam) in Malaysia and Singapore.
Tune Hotel KLIA2
Location: Lot 13, Jalan KLIA 2/2, Sepang / Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Average Guest Rating: 7.7 (Very Good)
Room Rates: starts at ₱1,798 per night
Tune Hotel KLIA2 is located just across Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2. If you're looking for a budget hotel that's near KLIA2, I recommend Tune Hotels. It's an ideal hotel for travelers who need to catch an early flight or even for those who just want to freshen up during a long transit.
Staying true to their unique no-frills concept, Tune Hotel's guest rooms are very basic but complete with amenities needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The beds are of 5-star quality, comfortable and complemented with clean white sheets, fluffy pillows and soft comforters.
Our room is a Twin Room with basic amenities such as an en suite toilet and bath with hot and cold shower, television set with cable channels, ceiling fan and air-conditioning unit, work desk with chair, in-room electronic safe, clothes hanging area, mirror, and a luggage rack.
What I love most about our stay at Tune Hotels KLIA2 are the fast complimentary WiFi access, accommodating and pleasant staff, and the breakfast buffet. Other hotel amenities and facilities include a 24-hour in-house restaurant, computer sets at the lobby that guests can use for free, and a lovely courtyard bar and bistro.
