Kuala Lumpur Hostels - Reviews and Rates

22nd Feb 2009 We left Krabi by taxi at 10.15am for the airport and arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 3.30pm where we caught the Star Shuttle to China Town which took about an hour. We then spend about 20 minutes trying to find the hostel which turned out to be across the road from where we were dropped off. After checking in to the hostel we showered a...

This morning - actually, it was probably more like afternoon - we checked out of our hotel in Penang because we both agreed it was time to move on from there. I left my bag behind while we went out to get food and figure out what to do next. We started walking down the street, slowly, as my buddy's knee was about the size of a football from the ...

2007_10_30 Kuala Lumpur Jet lag isn't my friend . . . Woke at 4 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. Streets aren't safe at that hour so I stayed indoors and read some book until it was 7AM. The streets in Chinatown are always crazy. There are sidewalks that walk behind shops. In front of those shops in the day is a street that is packed full of s...

KL Tower is tall. How tall? I don't know. Google it. It has an incredible view though, and I'll post some pictures to prove it. If you're not convinced, then I don't know what to tell you. I guess do a google image search and see if you can find some better photos. You know what? Just go to google and do your own research. I can't be in charge o...

Hell's bells! Kuala Lumpar has its very own twin towers, and luckily for this predominantly Muslim nation, no ultra radical Amish have taken it upon themselves to simultaneously hijack several horse and carts with the intentions of driving them into this truly beautiful building. During the day it grabs your attention as it peaks out from behind...

Mahtavasti tuli nämä yöt nukuttua, mitä nyt kuudelta aamulla alkaa aina valtava hoilaus tästä hotellin lähellä olevasta moskeijasta :-) Aamupala tässä hotellissa on ehkä paras mitä olen ikinä nähnyt ja ihan oikea kokki on ruokia paistelemassa ja väsäämässä. Käytiin tässä hotellin lähellä sijaitsevassa messukeskuksessa Panasonicin esittelytilaisu...

This day was the afternoon that didn't end, that turned into the night that didn't end. We started at the Petronas Towers, which are the tallest towers in the world. 452m tall to be exact. We weren't able to get tickets to the top bridge between the two towers, but we had already seen KL from the KL Tower, so it wasn't an issue. The bottom 5 fl...

Highlights: - Efficent and cheap monorail system around the city. - Views from the KL Tower. - Watching Pirates of Caribbean 2 and having a meal by a window in the Petronus Towers. - All road signs are in English. Lowlights: - Ros feeling very tired and wanting a rest from travelling. - Ros unwell again and seeing a Doctor in the Petronus Towers...

The noodle soup yesterday was surprisingly good, and authentic, so we headed straight there in the morning for a delicious dim sum breakfast. It was superb and a great way to get ready for a day of sightseeing. Started walking and headed to the Golden Triangle area of town where all the big skyscrapers and department stores are located. Had a go...
