looks like there is a serious about of rooms/showers which could be classed as wetroom showers there 🙂

@Tom: We hear you. Online accommodation ratings are a sketchy and often rigged business. It’s easy to influence those indexes if you happen to be a property owner. Kuala Lumpur, by the way, is one of the more notoriously difficult locations to secure budget accommodation. We can commiserate!

Eurgh I know what you mean about the water! When a certain hostel in Kuala Lumpur has a 91% rating and a) the showers barely worked during a 4 day stay and b) you had to press like a million different buttons in order to get them working….well, that hostel isn’t a 91%.

The staff were pretty much non-existent (despite everyone praising them on the site??…) and seemed pretty put out when I wanted to check in at the almighty hour of 5pm.

The entire second floor reeked of chlorine. The beds creaked like hell. The WiFi had terrible coverage and not strong enough to maintain a Skype conversation.

The only positive was the location! Sigh.

@Tressa: We’ll have to visit when we’re passing through the U.S. again. Until then, maybe we can meet somewhere on the road. Would look forward to it. Happy travels and may your hotel rooms always be well-equipped!

The title struck me. As one who runs a place of accommodation and one who loves to travel I wanted to find out if I have anything “missing” at my place. I think I got it all covered. You can read my blog at http://www.thevitalityofthejourney.blogspot.com.
p.s. when I first found out about you, I was quite envious. Enjoy your journey, thank you for going beyond and perhaps our paths will cross.

@Roger: That uncovered piece of bed makes me feel about as good as those hotel comforters that get washed about once a year. Ignorance is bliss, indeed.

The sheet thing would drive me crazy. I’m sure that when you wake up in the morning and see the uncovered bed, that piece of bed that is uncovered doesn’t make you feel really good about where you just slept. “Ignorance is bliss,” as they say…

@Mark: We know those outlets squarely behind the bed all too well. Grrrrr.

@WT: Thanks! Taking the multiplug and USB idea, we found one multiplug+USB outlet to do it all (at the end of this post):

@Stacey: Cheers! Love the emphasis. Am still laughing.
