Straddling the Asian mainland and the island of Borneo, Malaysia is a wonderful jumble of multiculturalism, wildlife-rich jungles and vibrant cities.
Among Malaysia’s urban hotspots is its culturally diverse capital Kuala Lumpur (‘KL’ to locals), home to the iconic Petronas Towers, mammoth shopping malls and nightlife of the Golden Triangle. George Town, capital city of the island of Penang, is widely renowned as the food capital of Malaysia. Delicious street-food treats include grilled satay skewers, Chinese congee (rice porridge) and otak otak (steamed fish curry).
This part of Southeast Asia is ideal for picturesque wildlife wanders wand watersports. Some of the best scuba diving spots and powdery soft beaches can be found around the islands of the East Coast peninsular. You can also hike through some of the oldest rainforests in the world and take up whitewater rafting within one of the country’s many national parks.
Whether you’re looking to camp in Malaysia’s national parks or stay with the locals in a homestay, you’ll find accommodation to suit your needs. Main cities and beach resorts also offer a wide selection of hotels, hostels and guest houses.

The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is very nice (fruits, toast with kaya and tea or coffee). The whole hostel is pretty cute and clean. The best part is the staff that is beyond helpful and kind. I definitely would stay again.

Housed in a Chinese courtyard-style mansion, The Blue Mansion offers boutique accommodation tastefully furnished with antique fittings.
Guest review
The hotel is a beautiful mix of history and modern facilities. The service is impeccable, and the staff are incredibly kind, accommodating, and attentive. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. Once within the grounds of the hotel, you dont hear any of the hustle and bustle on the outside.it is a wonderful place to stay, enjoy, and slip away from the busyness of the city.
