Malaysia Hall Room Review
Hope the above information helps. You should call them if you need the accommodation. Don’t email. Call.
Below is my review on Malaysia Hall when I was still a student. Nothing much has changed since then other than the room rates but nevertheless it is still considered affordable if you compare this with the other accommodations in London.
The post-Christmas sales are now on! Ladies, it is time to get your long-waited branded Gucci and LV bags! And guys, the stereo system or television set that you’ve always waited for. All are sold in a shockingly low price!
I know, it can be very expensive to come all the way from Malaysia to London just for the sales. But, if you are a Malaysian studying anywhere in the United Kingdom and are planning for a visit here, do consider staying at our very own Malaysia Hall London. This place only caters to Malaysians only so only Malaysians are allowed to stay here. So if you are looking for a cheap and reasonable place to stay, I would strongly recommend you to stay here.
In case you were wondering, yes, they do have Malaysian food here. Nasi lemak, rendang, sotong, roti canai and laksa are some of the dishes they offer here. A plate of nasi lemak here is £4.00 which comes to about RM22.00.
Not wanting to spend too much on food, I opted for the mixed rice with two side dishes at £3.40. I had rendang lamb and my favourite sambal aubergine. Meanwhile, curry kuah, sambals and cabbage are given for free for every set rice.
Craving for more of Malaysian food, we dine here once again the next day. I ordered the same set, but this time I got myself a fried chicken and the spicy sambal aubergine. I just love their sambal aubergines. It was spicy and sweet. I’m sure many of you out there will agree with me that nobody can make good sambals as Malaysian.
On our last day here, we had roti canai served with lamb curry. Their roti canai is quite different from the ones we have in Malaysia. The roti canai is round. If I am not mistaken, it must be a pre-packed roti canai. Nevertheless it was warm and crunchy.
This dish is price at £1.80 for two pieces of roti canai. Hot and warm water are also served for free. You can mix your own 3-in-1 coffee if you prefer your own specified brand type of coffee.
Alright now, lets take a look at the room. As I was sharing with a friend, we took the twin-sharing room. The rates are calculate base on each occupants. Each occupants for a twin-sharing room are charge at £6.46 per night. If you prefer a room by yourself, the price is about a pound more expensive.
The keys given to each occupant carries the bed number that you are going to sleep on. So you don’t need to fight for the beds. Besides that, towels are also provided.
They have all the basic amenities which I would consider reasonable for the price you are paying for.
They have an attach bathroom too! Note that, they do not provide bathing items but these can be purchase easily at the shops near the hostel.
Another thing that I like about this place is that both male and female rooms are separate. The third floor are allocated only for females while the fourth floor are only for males.
Note that, the room prices stated in this blog reflects the rate for a registered student studying in the UK only. So if you have not registered yet, I would advise you to do so at their NEW Website = http://www.maralondon.gov.my. Non-registered student pays almost double of the prices stated above. And if you are not a student, fear not. You are still eligible to stay here provided you have book a place online. Note that, priority will be given to students studying in the UK. There are many budget hostels around in case the rooms are fully booked.
You can find the Malaysian Hall London at the following address:
30-34, Queensborough Terrace, London W2 3STTel: 020 7985 1252 (MSD)
Tel: 020 7985 1262 (Malaysia Hall)
Fax: 020 7221 5615
If you are taking the Underground tube, stop at Queensway rather than Bayswater (contrary to what others suggests). Trust me. It is much nearer!

Bangsar-bAbE says
I used to come here for my rendang ayam and nasi lemak fix! Since I was so deprived of Malaysian food, they were the best thing ever. LOL
Jin says
Food is mediocre but prices are the cheapest. The rooms are quite an improvement (luxurious) compared to the previous address at Bryanston square. Don’t know if they still practise the rediculous curfew hours of 8pm home time?
Apple Foodees says
They still practice the curfew hours but they have changed it to 11pm.
Hood Hasan says
Hi. I would like to make a reservation for my family for our trip in June. Please help if there any email address i could email to with regard to this or how do i go about doing this? Thanks

Leong says
Hi may I know is it difficult for non-students to get a room in Malaysian Hall? Were u located in UK before staying in Malaysian Hall? I’m in KL now, planning to visit London in May.
How long did it take for them to reply/process your booking? I hope it’s not too late to book now.
Thank you.
Apple Foodees says
I was studying in UK when I stayed in Malaysia Hall. So it is much easier for me to get a room there. It is still quite early for you to book a room now if you are visiting London in May. You must place your booking on their website at least 1 month before your stay. You should be able to get a room, but priorities are usually given to students first.
My advise for you is to book through their website now and wait for confirmation from them. They will send you another e-mail (1 or 2 weeks) before your stay for further confirmation on your booking.
Leong says
Thank you. I got their reply. They want me to call them one week before my arrival to check if they have place for me, which i think is a bit risky…
Apple Foodees says
Hi Leong,
I used to think so too. But my friends and I did bookings on Malaysia Hall for so many times and we get our rooms all the time. No harm calling them to check on your rooms 1 week before your stay. You might get a chance of getting better room at a lower cost.
Just get a backup room if you are afraid that they will cancel your booking. 🙂
Hebe says
I submitted online form as well. As usual, they asked me to call them back one week prior to arrival for confirmation.
Hopefully I can get the room.
Leong says
Ok thanks for ur advice. And thanks for the pictures too. =D
Apple Foodees says
You are most welcome. Don’t worry too much. The staffs there are really friendly, you will feel almost like home there.
Have faith in your own Malaysian people. 🙂
vivienlim says
For a twin-sharing room, the charges is still at £6.46 per night in 2011?? For student~
Apple Foodees says
No, I think they have increased their price. Call them to check. 🙂
Kenzo says
Hello, i will visit to London end of this month and i had submitted the online booking form through the MSD. Anyway, after submitting the form;it had nothing come out from the site such as the booking code or the reservation code. What should i do now?
Apple Foodees says
Don’t worry. They will send you an e-mail later and will ask you to reconfirm before going there.
There’s no booking code or reservation code.
Just wait for their e-mail.

Rosalind says
Hi, my sis n I will be in London this 27Aug and have been searching on web for accommodation until a friend of mine telling me about Malaysia Hall. would like to know are the rooms with fan? Tks
Apple Foodees says
It will be quite cold in August. I don’t think you need a fan. As far as I know, most ppl uses heater. They do not have air-conditioning or fan in UK.
It’s cold!
hamidah says
is there any plug in the room that we can use in charging handphone..is it allowed..
Apple Foodees says
Of course they do have plugs for you to charge your handphone. UK is a developed country, not a developing country. They have better facilities compared to Malaysia.
Dolphin says
Hi, just one question, Apple Foodees, husband and wife cant stay in the same room rite?
Apple Foodees says
Yes. You can’t stay together.
Men 1 floor, women the other floor. Both separate no matter what.

jaz says
I plan to do my research in London about a month in October. Do they allow to stay there for a long period? I feel it is quite hard to find other place or budget hotel to stay around Bayswater. Do you know if they any second choice to stay at budget hotel around or near Bayswater which have similar rate like Malaysia Hall if in case they do not allow me to stay in a month?. I get stuck searching and finding place to stay in London.
If somebody could provide any info which suitable place to stay for a long period.
Thanks
Apple Foodees says
I think it is better for you to find another place if you are planning to stay longer. If you are looking for budget hostels, you may try Hostelbookers.com.
Aisswarya says
Hi. I am a malaysian student pursuing my undergraduate degree in malaysia at the moment. I plan to go on a study visit to London at the end of this month and I need to stay at the Malaysian hall for about four nights. Is this possible as they have mentioned on their website that you can only stay for a maximum of 2 days. Besides that, is there accommodation available ONLY for those studying in uk and ireland or is it available for students studying in Msia also?
Apple Foodees says
Priority will be given to students studying in the UK and yes, each person can only stay for a maximum of 2 days. This is to be fair for all. I don’t see that there is any harm booking though. Just book a place in case you are not able to get another room else where.
Jun says
Hi, i am currently studying in the UK, would like to ask how do we book the rooms in malaysia hall, i cant seem to find any malaysia hall’s website,

Dalilah says
Hi Applefood….so kind of you.. so much information that have been mentioned about MH.. I suppose to go to Oxford London on July, I really hope that I can get room at MH.. TQVM for your guide, and hope to see you with your Nasi Lemak n the tarik…
Apple Foodees says
Hi Dalilah,
I am in no way associated with Malaysia Hall. I am just a Malaysian who had had the chance of staying there when I was still a student. I am just sharing this information for my fellow Malaysian friends. Anyway, thank you for your comments. I hope you will get a room there too. Enjoy your stay there. 🙂
Kavi says

Ami says
So, the male amd female rooms are separated, right? What about family? Does it mean the wife and hushand need to stay in separated rooms as well? Thanks!
Apple Foodees says
I do not know whether they have changed the rules but based on my previous experience, male and female rooms are separated and they are on different floors.
Fatira says
Hi! Nak tanya, kalau untuk student maximum 2 days juga ke?
Apple Foodees says
I was informed at that point in time that this was the case. This is to ensure more Malaysians benefit from it. If you would like to extend your stay, you will need to check the availability of any room on the day before you are suppose to check out. The staffs are very friendly. I strongly recommend you to forward all your queries directly to the staff.

George says
Hi bro, it seems that all the email you previously provided is not working anymore as my email bounces back. Can I know if they still accept online booking as of 2014?
Apple Foodees says
Hi George, first of all, I don’t work for Malaysia Hall. Second of all, I’ve given you their contact. Just call or fax to them. I’m sure they will respond.

Amirul Chang Abdullah says
Regards from Amirul.
I will be visiting London beginning of November ‘2016 and my accommodation has been confirmed in Central Park London, Queensborough. Terrace. Not realising Malaysia Hall canteen is actually just a few steps away from my hotel. May I know if I am not staying in Malaysia Hall but can I still have my breakfast or dinner there in Malaysia Hall Canteen ?
Nice day ahead, thank you.
Apple Foodees says
Definitely you can have your meals there. It’s open for public.
Amirul Chang Abdullah says
Thank you very much.
By the way how is the weather during day and night in London beginning of November ? At night less than 5 Degree Celsius ?
Apple Foodees says
Its winter. So it will be very cold. There won’t be any snow in November. Normally it will snow from mid of December to January.
Amirul Chang Abdullah says
Thank you very much…
Appreciated.
Daniel Liew says
Kindly forward single room rates for Malaysian citizen visiting London from 25 Mar’17 on holiday. Thanks
Apple Foodees says
Hi Daniel,
I’ve updated my post on Malaysia Hall. Please read through to see whether you meet the criteria and call them to book if you are interested.
nasya says
Hi, I wanna stay at the Malaysian Hall when I go to London in April and I’m a student, but can my mum and sister who aren’t students stay there with me too?
Thanks
Apple Foodees says
The priority is given to students studying in United Kingdom & Ireland only. If you are, then it should be easy for you to book a room if there is an empty room. If you are not, you have to try your luck.
As for your mum and sister, they can try to book and try their luck. But if there are students who apply to stay there, they may reject your mum and sister’s booking.
nasya says
Just wondering if we want to stay at the Malaysia Hall, do I need to register with the EM even if I have registered with JPA (my sponsor)? Because I got an email saying that during the check-in I should bring my kad pendaftaran EM, but I don’t think I have that.
Apple Foodees says
Just bring everything to be safe.
Nicol says
