About Matahari Lodge
Internet Access
Centrally located in the hub of activities of Kuala Lumpur. Private rooms only, for a quiet night's sleep. No dorms, so you do not have to put up with snoring strangers. Ideal if you are on transit or have little time to spend in KL.
Conveniently located next to LRT station, one stop from KL Sentral, around the corner from Chinatown for street shopping and food. Close to attractions like Central Market(across the street!), Hindu and Chinese temples, Little India, Masjid Jamek etc. Puduraya bus terminal (for intercity bus) is 15 mins walk away. Catch the KL hop-on hop-off in front of the hostel for a city tour.
Clean and comfortable rooms (all shared toilets), perfect for that much needed privacy. Meet other travelers for some tips in our TV and reading lounge. Enjoy your morning coffee and toasts in the outdoor balcony garden or the pantry. CCTV monitored premises for your safety.
All that traveling wearing you out? Get a little comfort, take a breather.....and chill at Matahari Lodge.

It was great there!I traveled with my girl freind and we stayed there, we only really wanted a place to crash whilst we explored the city and round about, granted the rooms are pretty basic we had everything we needed and wanted. We had a good internet service that was cheap and flexible (your given an hour's access which you didnt have to use in one session, you could go and come back) there was ample laundry fercilities, food storage and kitchen area was great and a great lounge area to relax which included a balconey area with ample seating and cover all regularly tended to. As for the showers, taking into account they are shared there were more than enough for each floor ( we never once had to wait for a hot shower) with cold and hot water which was hot and reliable and maintained just as much as they were used with shower slippers provided if wanted. Location was brilliant, its right around the corner to the night market and the central market and the train station Pesi Seni (one stop from KL central where you get the main train to go to the international airport) is just accross the road, alot of the buses that can take you to some great locations are just around the corner as well. And as for the service........Lee, Man & Zac it was literally a home from home, we are speechless at how great those guys were they were just great people whom we considered our friends as did alot of the other guest but besides that to arange trips, taxi's, tickets, adjustments in accomadation, (we moved around alot but revisited KL a few times and each time we stayed there because 1. It was a great place 2. It was cheap and 3. They made our stay so easy) nothing was to much for them. The place was packed when we got there and throughout our stay everyone that was there that we met (which were a alot) said how much they were enjoying there stay there. It truly is a great place, if we every find ourselves back in that neck of the woods we'l be shore to go there and we'd recommend it to anyone heading to that area, hope you find this usefull and happy traveling!

After about 35 hours travelling from Auckland to Singapore and then a train up to Kuala Lumpur we were just hoping for a nice clean guesthouse to relax and we were not dissapointed.
We had been told this place was good and we definitely agree, we had a double with a shared bathroom. The whole place is cool, clean and the hosts are welcoming.
It has a nice chill out area by reception where there's a tv with some sky channels and a small kitchen.
There were 2 hot showers in the bathrooms on our floor and also 3 cold showers - with the heat here it was a cold shower every time! Never had to wait for a shower or use of the toilet.
Lee at reception was very helpful when we were looking around the city and also in arranging our next stop in the Cameron Highlands.
All in all I don't have a bad word for a very good value budget accommodation.
Matahari Lodge was fantastic with super friendly staff who gave great advice - but we thought that the price wasn't comparable with other hostels in the area.
