Straddling the Asian mainland and the island of Borneo, Malaysia is a wonderful jumble of multiculturalism, wildlife-rich jungles and vibrant cities.
Among Malaysia’s urban hotspots is its culturally diverse capital Kuala Lumpur (‘KL’ to locals), home to the iconic Petronas Towers, mammoth shopping malls and nightlife of the Golden Triangle. George Town, capital city of the island of Penang, is widely renowned as the food capital of Malaysia. Delicious street-food treats include grilled satay skewers, Chinese congee (rice porridge) and otak otak (steamed fish curry).
This part of Southeast Asia is ideal for picturesque wildlife wanders wand watersports. Some of the best scuba diving spots and powdery soft beaches can be found around the islands of the East Coast peninsular. You can also hike through some of the oldest rainforests in the world and take up whitewater rafting within one of the country’s many national parks.
Whether you’re looking to camp in Malaysia’s national parks or stay with the locals in a homestay, you’ll find accommodation to suit your needs. Main cities and beach resorts also offer a wide selection of hotels, hostels and guest houses.

If you need a place to rest and to recharge, this is the place to be! You will not only find a second home, but also a second family! I have never stayed in a place with such lovely hosts, trying to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I had an accident and was really glad I stayed with Mommy and the Captain!
The rooms are clean and cosy and the beds super comfortable. Everything is working fine, from the WIFI, TV, aircon, to the shower. Really pretty garden and nice pool to cool off.
If possible, I would give you guys a 100! :-)

Nestled in the very heart of Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle and just steps away from the Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC, The RuMa means home in its literal sense.
Guest review
The hotel is really beautiful, as soon as you enter you can immediately enjoy the luxurious architecture. The location is ideal with walking distance to KLCC park, different shopping malls, restaurants you name it. The staff at the pool bar is so great, they really made our stay. Every day we were warmly welcomed and served with so much hospitality. They are the reason we will definitely come back again. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing time!
