Malaysia Hotels - The Wayfaring Soul

From my experience, Malaysia’s hotels are a very good value as well. However, if you’re not a smoker, you’d better be sure you pre-book a non-smoking room.

Currently, I’ve only been in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur most of the time, where I mainly make hotel reviews. Nearly every time, I received a room that was supposedly nonsmoking yet smelled of stale cigarettes. That said, every time I complained and asked for a room change, the hotels were kind enough to oblige.

But there is good news. After doing a bit of research, many hotels, particularly in Kuala Lumpur, are starting to enforce their nonsmoking rules. Also, many newer or recently renovated hotels have strict non-smoking floors.

Many budget hotels in Malaysia either have windows or no windows. A windowless room is, of course, cheaper, but not by much. I’ve stayed in rooms with no windows before, and it doesn’t really bother me so much because the rooms are big.
