Reflections on Malaysia 2025
Malaysia sits at the crossroads of our SE Asia playground. After our wonderful visit last year we decided to return for a longer visit at our same Airbnb in Kuala Lumpur and a longer visit in the mid-sized town of Ipoh we discovered on our 2024 visit. After 45 days in the country in the spring, we will return in December 2025 for a visit to Penang and Langkawi islands in the north.
Holiday Inn Sepang - Airport — Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia
/We were here one night June 2, 2025 ($140/night without breakfast). We have been trying different overnight hotels near KLIA to find the right one for routine return visits en route to our next destination. We found it! We’ll return. Straight forward and better than the rest. Good walking in the immediate neighborhood and good restaurant choices and other services too.
The Majestic, Airbnb apartment — Ipoh, Malaysia
/We were here May 9 - June 2, 2024 ($53/night). Our 19th floor Airbnb two bedroom/two bathroom apartment was better than many of the places we've rented! With wonderful views we made it work! As tall guys, the furniture wasn't quite right nor were the mattresses but we are adaptable! It was quiet and included a washer!
Melur Inn, Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
/Rich took a solo getaway and was here May 2-9, 2025. Four one hour foot reflexology massages...great food... friendly people...fresh strawberries...three two hour massages and lots of walking!
St. Marys Residence — Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
/We were here April 19 - May 9, 2024. This is our second visit to this wonderful Airbnb apartment. See more pics at the listing on the Malaysia 2024 page.
