Malaysia Hostels



Malaysia Hostels for Budget Travelers


Most travelers backpacking in Malaysia arrive in Kuala Lumpur, where they are instantly greeted by an array of top tourist attractions, traditions and some of the most outstanding Malaysia hostels . A bright and high-tech city, KL (as it’s known) is both a worthwhile destination in its own right, and a great base for exploring other parts of the country.

If you decide to stay in KL for a few days (often a wise decision after a long-haul flight), two areas in particular merit a visit. The Colonial District around Merdeka Square is home to some impressive architecture such as the Masjid Negara (National Mosque), while on the opposite bank of the river, the night market in Chinatown makes for fantastic exploring.

Once you’ve acclimatized to the time zone and the heat, the northern parts of Malaysia allow plenty of time to really catch your breath. The large island of Pulau Pinang is a favorite amongst backpackers and holidaymakers alike, who enjoy both the beautiful beaches and the enchanting city of Georgetown.

There are many Malaysia Hostels in Penang with price that is affordable that you can book online from Hostel Bookers website.

About 200km further north, Langkawi is another gorgeous island replete with beautiful beaches and stunning sunsets. Pantai Kok beach is probably the best place to enjoy the sun, while the mountainous terrain inland presents a perfectly unspoiled retreat from the high temperatures.

Back on the mainland, the Cameron Highlands offer another opportunity to get away from things by scaling the heights. Sitting about half way between Langkawi and KL, they provide for good hiking and great vistas.

Tanah Rata is the main town here, and the best base from which to discover the surrounding region.



Heading south from KL presents you with a slight contrast. While the hill tribes and spacious interior land is still present in abundance, there are also the cities of Melaka and Johor Bahru which lend the area a busier feel.

Famous for its obsessive Mahjong playing, Melaka displays traces of its Portuguese, Dutch and British history everywhere. Built on a river which snakes through the center, the city is notable for the stilted houses that line the riverbanks, and the many antique dealers peddling their wares.

Johor Bahru, meanwhile, is a largely functional place that continues to thrive due to its bridged connection to Singapore. The main attraction here is probably the Istana Besar, a remarkable complex of gardens and buildings that once housed Johor’s Royal Family.

One of the great features of traveling around Malaysia is the ever-present possibility of extending your trip into new countries. Once in JB most choose to skip across into Singapore to explore the islanded city or even move on to the rest of the delights of Southeast Asia.

Find out the attractive rates of the various Malaysia Hostels in Kuala Lumpur that you can book online. If you book in advance, most probably you will be able to book a room from as low as US$3-US$10/person.
