Shah’s Village – Kuala Lumpur

Shah’s Village Hotel is an older property that has seen better days but it still is a very charming, comfortable and convenient place to stay.

The lobby is spacious and has a colonial feel to it. A wide staircase leads to the rooms and one can almost imagine descending those stairs, formally dressed, to a ball. The rooms are big and clean and come with a mini fridge and safe.

The restaurant serves excellent food and the breakfast buffet, which is included in the rate, is varied and substantial.

The pool area is surrounded by thick foliage with a rainforest quality to it.

The staff are helpful, yet unobtrusive.

Unlike many hotels that claim otherwise, the Wi-Fi here really works.

The hotel is less than a five-minute walk from the Taman Jaya LRT and so getting to the city centre is very easy. A little further away is the Amcorp Mall with a wide range of shopping choices. About a 15-minute walk is P. J. Baru, a restaurant which offers some of the best food in Kuala Lumpur and never seems to close. I’m not sure whether a 2.00 am meal there is dinner or breakfast!
