One Avenue Hotel Balakong

Check-in and checkout are self-service, with the RM50 deposit paid at the same machine. The room seemed clean to me and came with two towels, two bottles of water, a water heater, TV, sejadah for Muslims, and hangers. There’s no private parking, just regular paid parking through the flexiparking app. About ten minutes after I entered, the bathroom light reflector suddenly fell, which scared me 😭. The air conditioner is old and takes a while to cool the room. I booked for one night.

There’s plenty of food within walking distance, with both Halal and non-Halal choices, and new malls are being built nearby. The staff are courteous and friendly, and the rooms are clean. I hardly noticed any odors in the corridors. It’s an older hotel, but it’s well maintained. The contemporary feel is neat and tidy, and it’s a decent place for business, families, or solo travelers.

We stayed one night for an anime event. The place looks small, but it was comfortable, with a soft bed and an acceptable price. The staff were good, and you can book through the official website.

The receptionist was friendly (and beautiful), and the free Wi-Fi, computer, and printer were helpful for me, especially in a small hotel. The price was good too. There’s no lift, so getting luggage up to the second or third floor is a hassle. I wouldn’t recommend it with heavy bags, though the receptionist can help.
