Backpacker hostel in Kuala Lumpur
Is you’re looking for a hostel in Kuala Lumpur than a nice option to stay is the Sunshine Bedz Hostel for 35 RM a night. The vibe in the hostel is good so it is easy to meet people and the staff is nice and helpfull. I don’t want to forget the taxi service to the airport! (80 RM day -100RM evening ride) What a nice and friendly guy is that. When you share a cab with three it is cheaper than the KLIA Express (35RM per person) and way easier because they pick you up and drop you off. Sunshine Beds Hostel also provides different things for their guests like pub-crawls.
Sunshine bed hostel Kuala Lumpur
Sunshine bedz Kuala Lumpur is located next to the Bukit Bintang tube station.It is easy to get there from the airport. Sunshine Bedz is located in the golden triangle and on a 5 minute walk from food street and 10 minute want from pub street. Across the street you’ll find a lot of options to shop. The prices of the shoppingmalls are western the local markets are cheaper but watch out for fake stuff.
Paradiso guesthouse / hostel Kuala Lumpur
If Sunshine Bedz are full and you can go ext door to Paradiso Guesthouse. It is a 30 meter walk just at the other side from Mc Donalds. You pay 30RM a night. I prefer Sunshine bedz but when that one is full Paradiso Guesthouse is a good option!
Airbnb in Kuala Lumpur
If you’re traveling with a couple of backpackers you can also think of Airbnb. Me and a friend booked an Airbnb appartment in Kuala Lumpur with infinity pool. That stay was one of my best nights on my Asia trip. Clean, a lot of space and that view from our beds and the rooftop infinity pool where awesome!
What todo in Kuala Lumpur
There are a lot of things you can do in Kuala Lumpur. I describe some I’ve don in Kuala Lumpur. I liked the Birdpard. Just go there and see the nice colored birds. Feed them and take beautiful or funny pictures. 🙂
Foodstreet Kuala Lumpur
On a 5 minute walk from the hostel sunshine bedz & Paradiso guesthouse you can find foodstreet. A long street with a lot of restaurants, from Malay food (Lakse) to Chinese and from Vietnamese to Thai. I really liked the Chinese food and the chicken satay from the barbecue. As dessert I recommend the fresh coconut ice-cream at a little pop-up stand halfway the street. You get four scoops of coconut ice served in a coconut. You can top up your ice-cream with peanuts, crunch, chocolate souse and more. This will costs 10 RM but with to try!
Ladiesnight Kuala Lumpur
In Kuala Lumpur girls doesn’t have to spend a lot on drinks. They can drink almost maybe every evening for free! You just have to know which places you’ve to go that evening. For example we want out to skybar, free sangria till 23.00 after that we visited pub street free drinks as well.
Skybar Kuala Lumpur
When you want a drink inbetween the skyline of Kuala Lumpur go to the skypbar. They give you an awesome view on the Petronas Towers as well. The drinks itself are not cheap at all. A beer 0.5 liter costs 37 RM ($10). But on the right evening you can bring girls, they drink free. When you go to the skybar wear long pants. Sometimes they won’t let people with shorts in.
Free busses in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur provides the purple busses. You can hop on and hop off for free to discovery the city. You can get maps in the hostel or at the tourist information points on the street.
China town & little India
In almost every big city you will find a Chinatown also in Kuala Lumpur. In the afternoon and evening it is crowded and street sellers try to sell their products. From souvenirs to shoes, sunglasses and a lot of other products. It is nice to walk there in the evening eat something and see if you can get a cheap deal. When you wan to buy something don’t forget to bargain. The street sellers know how to bargain take care of you’re budget 😉 do you want to go for normal shoppingmalls? There are several big shoppingmalls with big famous brands and special shoppingmalls for electronics. You can get everything in Kuala Lumpur for western prices. I went secret shopping for the wedding.
