If you are travelling for a longer period, cost instead of luxury might be your number one priority when it comes to accommodation. However, most would still want comfort at an affordable price. Although it can be difficult to find such a combination, there is one such accommodation in Petaling Jaya (PJ), Malaysia, which gives you great value for money. Located at at the satellite city of PJ, the homely SS3 One Guesthouse is approximately 30 minutes by drive from Kuala Lumpur city center. Read on to find out more about this affordable guesthouse!

Clean, homely accommodation

The building where SS3 One Guesthouse is housed is actually a slightly bigger version of an Asian shophouse, a kind of house that is typically owned by Asian businesspeople. Traditionally, the owner does his/her business activities on the first floor, while he/she and his/her family live upstairs.

The first impression you will have when entering the guesthouse is, “It’s clean and homey!” You will be impressed with the fact that besides the 12 private bedrooms, there is also a living room with a sofa on each of the 2 floors, and a kitchen and ironing facilities on the upper floor.

Spacious rooms with great facilities

SS3 One Guesthouse has 12 modern and spacious air-conditioned rooms, with a surprisingly big 42-inch LED TV! You can expect natural light with the big windows in the room and each room has its own private bathroom with amenities such as clean towels and hair dryer. Expect a double shower (overhead and wall shower heads), with stable hot water supply available 24 hours a day.

For 120 MYR (29.59 USD), you can stay in a 12-sqm (129.17 square feet) superior twin room and have all of these 3-star hotel facilities. For an extra few bucks, you can stay in a deluxe room, which it is larger and has a sofa. To my surprise, the free Wi-Fi provided is incredibly fast; faster than most guesthouses and even hotels I have stayed!

Another highlight is its family room. No worries if you are traveling with many people. Instead of living in 3 separate rooms, you can choose to stay in its much bigger 4-bed family room!

There is a kitchen too!

If you are planning a longer stay, you will definitely need a kitchen, which is not commonly available in a hotel. At SS3 One Guesthouse, the kitchen is well-equipped with an electric stove, a microwave, blender, fridge, etc. and it has a small dining table too.

You may not plan on cooking most of your meals as there are numerous nearby eateries selling assorted foods for very affordable prices all day long. However, if you stay for more than 2 days, especially if you stay with your kids, you will probably need those facilities to warm up your food or make fruit juices.

A guesthouse above a Chinese restaurant

Well, those facilities sound so great for such prices, however, that’s not all of it. SS3 One Guesthouse is conveniently located in a business district with many eateries.

In fact, the 2-storey guesthouse itself is located right above a good Chinese restaurant named Restoran Eely Yong Tau Fu. This makes for a convenient dinner if you don’t feel like cooking! This Chinese restaurant is one of the best in the Petaling Jaya district of KL due to its delicious dishes and good prices. I personally like its food ordering system where you pick the raw food items you like before having the chefs cook them: either fried, stir fried or steamed!

To access the guesthouse, you need to enter from the door next to the restaurant, where you will find the stairs leading you to the guesthouse. Interesting, isn’t it?

There are so many other eateries around as well. You can go to Don Coffee Shop for some coffee and light snacks (sandwiches, chips, etc.), or go to the food court at the corner of the street, which sells different kinds of ethnic foods. Try nasi lemak (it’s Malay food containing rice, egg and spicy sauce) and for Indian food, try the thin and crispy bread with curry sauce named roti canai. They are less than 2 MYR (0.49 USD), but are filling and tasty.
