When we say a value hotel in Waterfront kuching, it not only means value in terms of money it also means value in terms of quality, service, security and cleanliness. Browse the net and see all the budget hotels in Waterfront Kuching to decide what appeals to you most. You could start by looking at the location of the hotel. How far is the hotel from airport or how far is it to local shopping or entertainment areas. If you are travelling with family, check if the budget hotel has connecting or family rooms. Some websites give a little video presentation of the quality of rooms and other facilities in their hotels along with some customer reviews. Security is very important and this means the hotel should have features such as closed circuit television and limited access in main lobby areas etc. Some of the good budget hotels offer basics such as bed and bath at a premium quality and provide extras such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi at an extra cost. Although budget hotels may charge lesser room rent than their counterparts you will be surprised that some of them are actually located in the heart of Kuching City Centre.

Whether in Kuching or in Penang, a value hotel in Malaysia should be able to give all this and more. You might wonder, ‘What more?’ A high quality budget hotel should be able to provide wheel chair friendly rooms which are of great help for families that travel with a disabled person. Non smoking building is another value add feature that appeals to many tourists. It is these thoughtful features that make a budget hotel a value proposition. Tourism in Malaysia is a rapidly growing industry and budget hotels vie with ‘boutique hotels’ and try to provide the basics at the same quality as in these hotels, but charge extra for other amenities. They cut out the fringes but provide essentials. For example many budget hotels might not have a restaurant within the hotel but do provide a mini mart that caters to dietary needs. Moreover, in countries like Malaysia local food is authentic and cheaper than those provided by hotels. So, do not worry if the hotel does not have a restaurant as food is available in plenty in every city.

Penang is a case in point. A variety of Indian, Malay and Chinese cuisine is available cheap but with a great taste. People go through alleys and lanes to locate the famous spots for the local food. So if you do find a value hotel in Penang that is located in central down town area, then food should be your last worry. Instead focus on places to visit in Penang and enjoy all that the city has to offer. If the hotel is strategically located in shopping hub of downtown area, then you could actually stroll and get lost in the afternoons in the World Heritage Sites of Georgetown. Visit the temples and marvel at the architecture and craftsmanship of the workers. The churches and cathedrals transport you to a different time and era and it is difficult to imagine that those very cannons were used at wartime! The famed Penang Hill gives a spectacular view of the city and the tropical spice garden is an education in to how and where spices come from. The role of a value hotel in all this is in the simple fact that it allows you to save money and get more out of your holiday especially if you are on a budget!
