Best value at the best location
Though most say Bukit Bintang is the best area to stay, i find the Golden Triangle area best. Ive been to KL 4 times now and i always stay at the Tune Hotel. The beds are super comfortable and super power showers. Location is walking distance to the Monorail and KL City center is 5 minutes away. You get a subway cafe at the ground level of Tune hotel and also a 24 hour mini mart. Most people choose chinatown / petaling area when they are on budget travel but i think its a bit messy there.
Maju junction mall right opposite the hotel as well. Check it out at :
www.tunehotels.com
rates are between usd 20 - 35 per night. Best vaue for money as it is clean, reliable and safe. Hope this helps!

Great Budget Hostel for its price!
I stayed here twice. One time last June 2011 and then again this August 2011
Both times I hated the low overhanged shelf on top of the bed. That has got to be the worst shelf ever.
Also the comfort room tiles are chipped and no grout. very untidy looking.
The tune hotel in LCCT is better
Tune hotel downtown has a subway sandwiches shop downstairs- this is one of its perk also best beds!
it was an OK place to stay but no wow factor
Unique Quality: i loved the bed! super soft the pillows i think they somehow compromised... the pillows in LCCT are better shower (love it!)
hate the location---- the walk to the lrt or light rail transit does not feel safe but it is fine if your with company.
hate that there are no other nearby places to eat.
so so accomodation

A Good Location On A Budget
A budget accommodation is not necessarily tucked away in an obscure corner of a city. This budget hotel is located at the busy intersection of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Sultan Ismail. This is a no frill hotel. Besides paying for the room and bed, you must pay for the use of additional amenities such as air conditioning and towels. Basic price could be very low but they will will add-up once you start to request for the extras. Nevertheless, the hotel is clean and safe besides helping you to maximise your travel budget.
Unique Quality: Very close to KL Monorail Station (Medan Tuanku) and will ease movements to many part of the city.

Tune Hotel
The hotel is marketed as a no-frill hotel...
Room rates are from RM9.99 to 59.99, a pricing based on demand, similar to that of the no-frills AirAsia. The price, however, is only for the room. There is a no-charge ceiling fan but air-conditioning, toiletries, towels and breakfast are charged separately.
Air-conditioning: RM4.99++ for five hours and RM9.99++ for 12 hours. Guests are given an air-conditioner remote control with a pre-paid magnetic card. Toiletries: Mini kit (RM1.99) and deluxe (RM4.99). Towels: From RM9.99 to RM19.99 depending on size.
Breakfast: Set menus from RM2.70++ for toast with butter and kaya and a cup of hot coffee to RM6.90 of a cup of iced white coffee and Uncle John nasi lemak.
Unique Quality: The room seemed almost bare. There was a bed, of course, an overhead rack and bedside lamps with stencil motif of contrasting colour and luxurious long drapes. The toilet had been given a classic black-and-white touch with a square designer hand-basin, folded glass doors and bathroom steel accessories – shower, taps, tissue and soap holders and towel hanger. Covered with unusual matte black tiles, the floor looked chic.
Opinion of Price: N/A

From a hospital to a no frill hotel
Tune Hotel is housed in a building that used to be a private hospital previously.
Formerly known as Grand Centrepoint Hotel Kuala Lumpur, the hotel was recently taken over by TuneHotel.com (AirAsia's associate) and refurbished to be converted into a no frill hotel. It is located along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, one of KL's oldest and bustling shopping belt. The hotel is just opposite to the Maju Junction shopping mall and office towers and close to Sogo shopping mall, Pertama Complex and the Odeon cinema. There are two LRT and Monorail stations about 5 minutes walking from the hotel.
As a no frill hotel, you'll get better rate if you book online in advance and only pay for what really matters - comfortable bed, conveneit location and security.
Unique Quality: From a hospital to a hotel (so much of hospitality here :)

This is Malaysia's first NO FRILLS Hotel, meaning if you forgot to bring your toiletries and towel, you may just buy them from the mini grocery located in the lobby area. If you need airconditioning buy some credits. Bed sheet and duvet are of tpp quality. Located a few steps away from the Tuanku Medan Monorail station, Tune Hotel is very accessible from most points in the city. I find this hotel recommendable to travelers who would rather spend their tourist money in shopping or taking tours around the city. Would I stay here again? No doubt I will!
Hotel at LCCT (low Cost Carrier Terminal), K.L.
by hcosgrave about Tune Hotel
I stayed in the Tune Hotel LCCT 4 times earlier this year. I did this as LCCT is a long way from downtown KL and rush hour traffic makes transit times uncertain. ( There is a direct bus service from Sentral Station K.L. to LCCT ) I found this hotel ideal for coming in on a late flight and leaving early the next morning. There is a shuttle bus from the hotel every 15 minutes , 24 hours a day to/from the terminal ( trip takes 5 minutes). There is also a 24 hour shop and cafe/bar in the premises (not sure of their hours). I should say that the rooms are very small as the big double bed takes up most space. Bedlinen is fresh and everything is very clean. There is a fold down desk/shelf and the air-conditioniong is very effective. The bathroom/showers are also excellent.
In summary - excellent for transit especially early starts but cabin fever would set in if you stayed there for an extended period due to the room size.

Tune Hotel LCCT
by limledi
Tune LCCT Hotel is very convenient for those having an early morning flight. Since KL city center is far from the airport, this hotel is a blessing to the travellers. It is located very near about 5 minutes walk from the airport. You will pass a food court at the side of the terminal. It also has a bus if you got heavy luggage for only RM1.
The room is very good. Comfortable bed, powerful showers, transparent bathroom door, internet connection, safety deposit box, aircon, clean, secured & best of all affordable rates. Drawback is the small size barely a room for luggage & no tv. If you're staying for a limited time just staying for the night, you can take the 12-hr aircon time so you can save. Walking distance to the LCCT Airport.
nearly lost my finger
by TripAdvisor Member ryansumo
Overall I like the package that Tune Hotel presents. A cheap hotel that assures you of a nice bed and shower, and rally that's all I want when I go on a trip. I spend most of my vacations outside the hotel anyway.
However an incident with the ceiling fans in Tune Hotels leads me to give them a lower rating than I might have. Basically as soon as I got in the room, I turned on the fan, stretched to take off my shirt and nearly lost my finger when the fan blades hit it. Now I'm rather tall but I've never been in a room where the fan was low enough that I could touch it, and frankly I really don't understand why they didn't go for a rotating corner fan instead of a ceiling fan. Aside from possibly being cheaper, having a ceiling fan blowing air onto to you non stop is definitely not healthy.
Granted the staff were really as helpful as they could be, bringing out the first aid kit and walking me to the nearest clinic. But when they told me that I was "lucky" because some guests had already hit their heads on the fan...
Tune Hotel's management should seriously consider replacing their fans. Having corner fans may not be as aesthetically pleasing, bu the knowledge that these things have happened before makes me wonder if they care at all whether or not their guests get home in one piece.
Avoid it at All Costs
by TripAdvisor Member nmeau
We booked this hotel on Airasia site based on the reviews from trip advisor. Let me tell you the truth now. We checked in and paid our towel deposit money to get our towel. On getting to the room after the epically slow lift ride, we were greeted with a damp smell. The room was tiny and dirty. The bathroom was poorly outfitted and looked like a home renovation job gone wrong. The "first class bed" was hard and nothing to boast about. The walls were paper thin to the point where we could hear the guy next door snoring. The first night, our sleep was interupted by kids running up and down the hall at 2am. This wouldn't have been so bad if there was any soundproofing by there wasn't so every footstep was heard. The second night was met with power cuts at midnight meaning no airconditioning in a room with a tiny window. The temp went up to about 35 degrees within about 15 minutes. In the moring there was an explanation from the staff - our power company cut the power! Why?? I'm not sure but that was all the explanation we got. Needless to say, we cut our stay at Tune Hotel short and moved to another hotel which was a little more expensive but worth every cent. My recommendation is to avoid this one at all costs unless you are the poorest of poor backpacker and don't mind slumming it.
Basic comfort in central Kuala Lumpur
by TripAdvisor Member ItchyFeeet
Stayed at this hotel with two friends for 6 nights and our stay was fine. The rooms are quite small but are easily big enough for 2 adults to sleep in but nothing much else. They are however spotlessly clean with tidy bathrooms and excellent showers. The hotel also has free internet downstairs in the lobby, laundry services, a 7Eleven convenience store, a Subway sandwich bar and a coffee shop inside. There is also an airport transfer counter that can assist with getting to KLIA. The hotels location is also fine - just a few minutes walk to the nearest monorail stop. For the price, this is an excellent choice in the Malaysian capital.

Comments on Tune Hotel, KL
by pchan88ca
I am planning to stay at Tune Hotel, KL. Can anyone of you who stayed there before, give me some advice on the hotel- cleanliness, good for money value, security, surrounding area for food (chinese food), entertainment outlet, ease for transportation.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Re: Comments on Tune Hotel, KL
by tracyskf
value for money - definitely if you book way in advance
cleanliness - ok
transportation - walking distance to monorail (quite convenient)
surrounding area for food - perhaps few monorail stops away you can get really good food(you still can find food in that area but maybe not chinese food)
a reminder - it is really very basic - bring your own toiletries
i think they charge air con on per use basis - check out their website for the details
Q:suggestions for our trip to KL "ello,
I've recently joined the VT group & since I would be making a trip to Kl

A: "1) Bukit Bintang area is the right location to stay, nearby Jalan Alor (food street), shopping mall (Lot 10, Sungai Wang, Times Square, etc), and Monorail to connect with..."
