Malaysia Star Rated Hotels

Malaysia's accommodation possibilities range from rock-bottom flophouses to luxurious five-star resorts. Outside the peak holiday seasons (around major festivals such as Chinese New Year in January/February) big discounts are frequently available – it's always worth asking about special offers.

Budget listings in this guide (denoted with a ‘$’) are those offering a double room with attached bathroom or dorm bed for under RM100; mid-range properties ($$) have double rooms with attached baths for RM100 to RM400; top-end places ($$$) charge over RM400 including 10% service and 5% tax (expressed as ++).

Promotional rates can bring rooms at many top-end hotels into the midrange category. A 6% government tax applies to all hotel rooms (including at cheaper hotels where it is invariably included in the quoted rate) and almost all top-end hotels levy an additional 10% service charge. Credit cards are widely accepted at midrange and top-end hotels; cash payment is expected at cheaper places.

Warning: bed bug infestations are common in Malaysia's hotels and are a particular problem at the budget end of the market.
