Looking for a cheap/economy hostel/hotel in the downtown area of Malaysia’s capital city Kuala Lumpur? My recommendation must be First Business Inn!

First Business Inn is located at 72, Jalan Dato Haji Eusoff, Off Jalan Ipoh, about 10 minutes’ walk to Putra World Trade Cebtre (PWTC). It accommodates 103 air-conditioned rooms designated as Standard, Superior, and Deluxe. Both single- and double-bed rooms are available for each accommodation type.

Each room provides towels, an IDD telephone, a TV, a pencil, some notes and coffee and tea-making facilities (Deleuxe Rooms only) among others.  The room rates are ~80RM for Standard rooms, ~95RM for Superior, and ~105RM for Deluxe, plus 5% government tax and 10% service charge. By the way, I noticed there is WiFi signs in the reception hall and also inside the lift cabin. But I’m not sure if this wireless internet service is for the hostel’s guests.

In the past few years, each time when I visited Kuala Lumpur, First Business Inn was always my first choice, mostly because of 1) the cleanness of its room, 2) the convenience to access to transportation such as buses, light railway trains, and monorail.

For the cleanness, sure you guys can have some impression from viewing the photos of a Deluxe double-bed room I took during a recent trip to KL (click here for the large version). The attached bathroom complete with hot and cold water is also very clean.

What I want to point out here is that First Business Inn apparently didn’t re-supply a curtain for the missing one of the room I stayed which could have been torn by earlier guests or just removed due to the obsolescence. (more…)
