Apartments in Malaysia at a glance
We track 150 properties self-catering apartments and aparthotels across 5 destinations in Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur has the most with 60; Malacca has the lowest starting price at € 20 a night. Typical prices across the country run from € 38 to € 63 depending on where you go, which is a wider gap than most travellers expect within one country.

What to look for in apartments in Malaysia
Self-contained places with a kitchen, usually rented by the night like a hotel but run differently. The trade is space and independence against services: there is often no daily cleaning, no breakfast, and no one at a desk at midnight. For stays beyond a few nights, being able to cook and do laundry changes the cost of the trip.
Before you book, check
- How check-in works. Key boxes and self check-in are common, and they need a working phone and clear instructions.
- Whether cleaning and linen are charged separately, which is normal and can be substantial on a short stay.
- Which floor it is on and whether there is a lift.
- Whether the kitchen is a real kitchen or a hob and a kettle.
Several cities now restrict short-term rentals and require a registration number. Properties operating without one do get shut down, occasionally between your booking and your arrival. Booking through a platform that handles the payment gives you somewhere to turn if that happens.
Worth it for: Stays of four nights or more, families, groups, and anyone who wants to eat in occasionally.
