Langkawi Guesthouse review: Kedawang Beach Inn

Nestled in a quite little nook behind Jalan Pantai Chenang, near the famous Chenang Beach, lies Kedawang Beach Inn - An excellent choice for budget accommodation in Langkawi.

The staff were very polite and went out of their way to ensure that my stay was a comfortable one. The reception is open from 9am to 9pm. My room was upgraded to a deluxe room free of charge. The hotel owner even bought me some beer in appreciation of an extended stay of more than 7 nights...gotta love the free stuff!

Free-bee's aside - The room was very clean and extremely generous in size...a huge room! A private ensuite attached with hot water heater provided. Room came with an air conditioner that worked extremely well. Room also had a fridge, which is always handy.

The actual rooms are located about 100 meters away from the reception which is just of the main stretch of road Jalan Pantai Chenang. Another 100 meter past the rooms is the popular Chenang Beach. This allows you the convenience of being close to the night life, beach and restaurants with the comfort of a quite nights sleep.

Another point worth mentioning - A common kitchen is available to all guests. Some amenities in the kitchen are included - tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread, butter, spreads etc. Also there is a stove and utensils provided. This was a great feature and could save you some money with being able to prepare your own meals at home - as it were. I used the kitchen most days for breakfast / brunch.

All up, I highly recommend Kedawang Beach Inn to travellers of all types. With it's clean rooms, polite and helpful staff, excellent facilities and prime location, you would be hard pressed to find something as good and affordable. A gem of a place.

Kuala Lumpur Hotel review: D'Oriental Inn

Right in the midst of busy KL China Town, D'Oriental Inn was overall a great place to stay.

Staff were very polite and informative. 24 hour reception is handy for those who may be checking in or out at unusual times.

Room was quite clean if not just a little bit stale smelling. I put the "staleness" down to being in a room with no window....but not a major deal. Hot water provided in most, if not all rooms. A private ensuite with bathroom and toilet. There was no fridge in our room and not sure if they provide them in other rooms.

D'Oriental is not the cheapest place in China Town to stay BUT it does provide a whole heap of free inclusions, which I believe is worth paying the slightly higher price. These include - Free WiFi in room, Free Wifi throughout the hotel, Free bottled water in your rooms every day, Free breakfast which goes from 7:30am to 10:30am every day and includes, eggs, toast, beans, rice, noodles, juice, tea, coffee etc.

Very close to public transport, Pasar Seni train station being just a 2 minute walk away. Very easy (and cheap) to travel to other parts of KL by train or mono-rail. The famous China Town night market is lierally right on your door step as you walk out the hotel.

The only flaw that I think is worth mentioning - it's not very quiet in the room. I was located on the 1st floor and found that from 9am to 11pm every day, I could hear music pumping from the clothing shop below. Also noise seems to travel pretty clearly from doors shutting, cleaners vacuming etc. Luckily I'm a heavy sleeper.

All up I would reccomend D'Oriental to those that don't mind being in the busy fast pace that KL's China Town offers. I am staying there again for anothr 5 nights between travelling to India. The free wifi, great service and excellent breakfast is worth the slightly higher price than other budget accomodation.
