I had stayed at Hotel Wira several times before and it has been my hotel of choice when I go to Kuala Lumpur. It's actually just a modest-size hotel, maybe 2 stars at most. I like staying here for the following reasons:
#1 It's very affordable! For a 4 day three night stay, I only paid 390 ringgit or roughly 2000 pesos per day, and that already includes the tax and other charges.
#2 It has free wifi in the room - and it's fast!
#3 It's near an LRT/Monorail station, PWTC, which is just a five-minute walk.
#4 There are many convenience stores outside including a 7-11.
#5 There's a 24-hour KFC near it, a five-minute walk!
#6 There are many different restaurants around it, some Indian, some Malay, some Chinese, you can eat a different cuisine every night!
#7 The rate includes free breakfast!
#8 There is a Hong Leong Bank near it where you can get your Western Union!
#9 The streets around it are well-lighted and there are many tourists around since there are many budget hotels around it too!
#10 It's walking distance to Otot Otot Sauna hehe so I don't worry about going home late
The downsides though include the following:
#1 There is no spectacular view outside except for the Monorail and nondescript tall buildings.
#2 Near it are many wholesaler stores which can get very busy during the day with their deliveries and stuff.
#3 No cable TV so you just watch local channels.
Well, it's not exactly the Marriott or the Ritz but I like staying here. It's quaint and cute and safe.
