"After reading the reviews about this place I wanted to try it out - it was worth of an experience. Locationwise, it's right on Petailing Street, Chinatown. Plenty of food stalls, fresh cut fruits. The room (bed) is a whole new experience and is worth trying. There are 30 stair steps to walk up to get to the lift to the reception on level 3 and I had no problem with this. I stayed in a single Capsule Bed - 8 Female. It's a newly open hotel. My bed is clean. However, my bed sheet and towel were not changed daily (or I should have asked?). Anyway I was there 2 nights and didn't have issue on this. I do not think they swept the floor the whole time I was there so there were lots of hair on the floor. I could hear people open and close the "Space door" to get into their bed. However, there's 100% privacy once you close your own door. The bed is quite low and could be a bit difficult to get in and out for someone who is less than fit."

"I booked the standard double room. It didn't have windows, and it was a bit noisy due to being behind the reception, but it was clean, didn't smell, aircon seemed fine. It also had a huge TV with YouTube which was a nice extra, though it required patience as the internet was very slow at times. The shower and toilet were in one, and you end up with water everywhere after a shower, but it's pretty common for these kinds of hotels. After having stayed in a few other places in the area in a similar price range, I can say this one is a fair choice for if you get a cheap deal online."

"I checked into Arenaa Star on the 21st October and stayed here for 2 nights. It was a very pleasant stay. First and foremost after putting down my luggage, I ventured to the hotel's open air restaurant located on the Mezzanine floor. The seafood olio oglio I ordered was good. I also tried grilled chicken and lamb chop on subsequent days and they are all ridiculously cheap yet extremely tasty. Wow! The friendly and courteous staffs made the ambience all the more better. When it comes to the accomodation, I must say that it has the coziest bed and pillows for you to rest after a long walk tour around KL which you can easiy access via the LRT and is just a walking distance from Chinatown. Not to mention the big and modern bathroom, flat wide screen tv and various themes that represents each floor. For example the 1st Floor represents the Malaysian stars thus you will see the portraits of the local entertainers painted on the wall along the hallways to every hotel room. Not to mention the Hollywood, Bollywood, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Korea etc. You might have a pleasant surprise to see that one of them happens to be your favourite! So in conclusion, Arenaa Stars lives up to its name and is very recommendable for the budget value and comfort. "

"Holidaying overseas it is important that you get the comfort and convenience. Big M is my regular stay when we need an accommodation near Chinatown. The warm hospitality of the friendly and helpful staffs never ceased to amaze me so far ... Thanks you! Importantly for us is that we have a clean & enough space room for two, comfortable beds, good air con & shower, and fast wifi. The Masjid Jamek LRT interchange station is a few steps away and has two Rapid KL LRT systems which cover a sizable area of places. Taxis are available at the station however getting Grab is cheaper. Walking distance to Chinatown, Central market and Pasar Seni train station (where you can board the Go KL free bus to the Bukit Bintang area). The hotel is close to fast food chain, coffee shop, and restaurants...and even pharmacies for medical supplies. For the service, comfort and location we highly recommend to those looking for a budget hotel near Chinatown."

"I would summarize our experience below: For budget traveler. PROS: Very Near Masjid Jamek station- no issue on getting around the city because of this. use the MRT /LRT and monorail till you drop. Very near River of Life, Merdeka square , Chinatown, Central Market, KL gallery, textile factory. Very good wifi. Room is spacious, air-conditioning good in our room. Beside KFC, 711 and near Watsons. Near also to KL tower walkable however, you cannot do walk loner because it is very hot and humid in KL. The middle aged receptionist is commendable and very helpful. Did not get his name but good job. Good on travelers on a budget. CONS: MRT noise can be heard every time since your are near the station line. if your are a light sleeper, don't book here. Breakfast not that good. canteen area at 2nd flr hot and not comfortable to eat. Shower is most of the time with good pressure but there are times pressure is weak. There are beggars outside which would make you feel uneasy. "

"Our Family flies Air Asia and we often require a stop over in Kuala Lumpur. This is never a problem because we always stay at The Explorers Guesthouse. We travel between KLIA 2 and Chinatown on the Star Shuttle bus which has a bus stop 5 minutes walk from the guesthouse. We are always welcomed with a friendly smile no matter what time of day or night we arrive. The staff are very helpful. The guesthouse facilities are just what we require all at a reasonable price - clean comfortable rooms, wifi and desktop computers, storeroom, free toast, tea and coffee for breakfast. It is all good for us and we do not hesitate to recommend this accomodation to others. We look foward to our next KL stopover at The Explorers. Sincerely Gary Collinson and family from Perth Western Australia"
