The city, being a popular tourist and business destination as well as a base for tourists on their way to some of the country’s other hotspots, has a great selection of accommodation in all budget ranges.

Where to stay

Popular places to stay include: Chinatown, Little India, the area around Merdeka Square, the Colonial district and the Golden Triangle. The majority of the city’s five-star hotels are situated along Jl Ampang, of which there are many luxurious establishments to choose from. Cheaper options and hostels tend to be found in Chinatown and Little India, with basic rooms offered at great rates.

Booking ahead is advised whatever time of year you visit and whatever kind of accommodation establishment you choose, with both top-end hotels and backpackers hostels getting booked up quickly.

When to visit

As the city guarantees year-round sunshine, with even the wettest months offering plenty of rain-free hours, visitors travel to KL throughout the year. The locals like to flee the city for other destinations on public holidays, so if you like things on the quiet side, these are good times to plan your trip.

Meanwhile, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Christmas are very busy, with hotel prices jumping and accommodation being harder to find. However, despite these being busy times, KL residents, for the most part, choose to leave the city, so staying in KL instead of another Malaysian destination at these times can be preferable.
