Malaya Hotel has been my family favourite. The hotel is very reasonably priced and it is in the heart of town (Chinatown) where there is lots of bargains, bazaar, food and eateries. My uncle shared with us his experience during the late 60's unrest. He was sent by his company to work in KL. Unexpectedly, there was a riot. He... more

I have never done a review before but feel compelled to after our stay here. The Hotel was diabolical! Cleanliness was out the door. NO HOT WATER IN SHOWER as we were informed by staff that the hotel could not cope with the volume of guests. We paid at the airport for this hotel and paid nearly $100!!! Ripped off.... more

We stayed here after Singapore and it was a bit of a shock! We caught the airbus from the airport to the main bus terminal, then caught the LRT to Pasar Seni, only 1 stop, every easy (you have to pay for your ticket via the little man in the booth). From the LRT go down the ramp, cross the... more

We paid 115 RM, around $32, for a room with two single beds. For the price, I'd recommend it over the backpacker's lodges in the area. Pros: good location, TV for the little one, included breakfast was not so bad, private bath. Cons: no window, very shabby room, poor maintenance. more

I stayed at the Malaya on my drive up to Ipoh with my family and parents. Booked 2 delux Family Rooms. 1 came with window, the other without. Rooms are basic, small and comfortable for the night. Did not deal much with the hotel staff except for check-in and out and yet I have to agree with some of the... more

Reasonably priced. Very convenient to MTR. About 5 minutes walk to Pasar Seni station which takes you to KL Sentral and the express train to KL International Airport. Chinatown night market is right next door. Hotel staff friendly and obliging. Dining room breakfast nothing to get excited about but adequate. Dinner time cuisine fairly ordinary. Room small and could use... more

Stayed over 3 nights in April and it wasnt that bad for the price. No window in the room but then we only used the room for sleeping in. Central for China town and 2 min walk to the transport system. Food was Ok had worse but then I dont go to Malaysia to eat hotel food when the choice... more

they must go out of there way to employ only the most miserable ,rude people. decided to stay at the malaya due to its location,we had one of the junior suites,and it was dirty .dark and smelly.it was a pleasure to go out each day and not use the room, but the worst experience we had was at reception,these people... more

A very bad experience. We arrived a the hotel at 10pm. Reservation made with Hotelclub.net and ALREADY PAID! The hotel told us that all rooms were sold out and that was our problem. After 2 hours of talking ( they didn't want to give the money back or to find another place to stay ) a very nice guy, decided... more
