Penthouse on 34
A no-frills outdoor pool at one of the lowest rates in town
About this hotel
Penthouse on 34 strips the stay down to the essentials: an outdoor pool, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, at one of the lower nightly rates on this list. There is no restaurant or bar attached to the property, so meals happen off site, with Ariff Maju Bistro nine minutes away on foot for something close by. The pool itself is a genuine amenity rather than a token gesture, open through the day for guests who want a swim between sightseeing runs. Getting around from here means a taxi for most trips, with Putra roughly nine minutes away and the airport closer to an hour by either taxi or public transport, so this suits a traveler prioritizing budget over central positioning.

Our take
This suits budget travelers who want a genuine outdoor pool without paying for a restaurant, bar, or central address they will not use. The lack of on-site dining means planning meals around Ariff Maju Bistro or further afield. Anyone wanting breakfast included or a shorter taxi ride to the Petronas Twin Towers should look toward a mid-range hotel elsewhere on this list instead.
- ✓Plan meals around Ariff Maju Bistro, nine minutes on foot, since there is no restaurant on site here.
- ✓Budget extra time for airport transfers, both taxi and public transport run close to an hour from here.
- ✓Bring your own basics like sunscreen, the property keeps amenities minimal beyond the pool itself.

Why guests love itPenthouse on 34 does not pretend to be more than it is: a clean outdoor pool, a room with air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, at a rate well below most hotels near Putra. There is no restaurant on site, so dinner meant the nine-minute walk to Ariff Maju Bistro most nights, which worked fine but is worth planning for ahead of time. For travelers who just want a working pool and a low price, this delivers exactly that without extra padding.
