Malaysia Hall Sydney

Date of Staying: 11th to 14th October 2014

In order to stick to our tight budget, we try to save and minimize our cost as possible as we can. Hence, we decided to stay in Malaysia Hall Sydney. I came across of Malaysia Hall before when I was studied in London few years back but I myself had never experienced before. Up to date, there are five Malaysia Halls - London, Dublin, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Malaysia Hall is a Malaysian student's accommodation hall which owned by the Malaysian government. Malaysia Hall is only applicable for Malaysian citizens but of course, the priority will be given to those students who study abroad but in the case if there is any vacancy, it's open to those who are not students.

Procedures to apply Malaysia Hall Sydney:
1) Visit Malaysia Hall website (click here)
2) Download and complete the required application form.
3) Email to myhallsydney@ema.org.au
4) Wait and check for the status of application.

Of course, I would advise to email at least 6 months in advance before your trip. But I like mentioned earlier, Malaysia Hall's priority is given to the students first. Therefore in case they are having semester break, the chance to secure a room might be low. You might need Plan B then - to book other hotel/hostel.

Rate Per Night:

Adult = AU$20.00 for the first two nights

             AU$30.00 for the third night onwards 

Additional cost of AU$15 of cleaning fee is to be paid. 

Check-in time: from 2pm to 9pm

Check-out time: by 11am

Besides the room rate which I personally consider to be pretty affordable and reasonable, one thing I like about staying in Malaysia Hall is where I get my own privacy comparing staying in dorm or hostel. The downside, as Malaysia Hall is not hostel, hence you need to bring your owl towel, toiletries and there is no free WiFi connection. 

For those who are craving and miss Malaysia food, there is a kitchen where they cook and served delicious and scrumptious local cuisines such as nasi lemak, fried noodles, teh tarik, char kuey teow, curry, rendang and more. It's not free but considering the price for a plate of fried noodle which cost AU$5 is consider pretty affordable comparing eating at outside.
