We booked what was listed as a 'Premium deluxe queen room' but were left wondering what was either premium or deluxe about it.
The room was very small and the bathroom even smaller but it was cheap ($43 Au) per night.
For some reason wifi didn't work for our laptop but it did work for the tablet. No idea why but that was the way it was.
The air-conditioner took a while to get going but once it did it worked well and kept the room nice and cool.
Obviously the owners of this hotel are all about saving money as there is a special chip on the card you insert to get lights and air-con. No just sliding in a different card and leaving the power on here.
There is a separate access card for the lift / stairwell entry door as the lift and stairs are outside reception.
The TV was an older CRT style but as with other hotels we have been to, there were some English language channels.
Tea and coffee making facilities were pretty standard but there was precious little space to put anything as the room was so small.
The bathroom is very small and you have to turn the hot water on before having a shower if you can't take the cold water on its own. The hot water is good when you remember to put the switch outside the bathroom on.

All the usual basic facilities are available such as towels, soap, shampoo but we were left feeling very cramped by the lack of room.
The room was clean and tidy but the bed (like most others we have tried to sleep n in Malaysia) was simply too hard to be comfortable.
This hotel is really for the budget conscious traveller who isn't looking for a great deal of comfort or the feeling of luxury.
Sleep quality (if you ignore the concrete like bed) is fine as there is little night-time noise.
We are fairly budget conscious ourselves but I would be happy to spend a few dollars more to get something better. Sadly Shah Alam does not seem to have any good reasonably priced mid-level hotels. The choice seems to be ultra budget places like this, or a couple of over-priced big hotels that are far out of our price range.
There are a few Malay eating places within walking distance and you are fairly close to two TESCO stores but there isn't a lot within walking distance so you will need to get a cab or have your own transport.
Parking outside is ample and although we don't really have anything that negative to say about the hotel, for us the room was just a bit too basic and small.More
