I have always thought that the daily changing of sheets at hotels was unnecessarily wasteful. So I was happy to see this good idea when I checked into my room at Tune Hotels in Kuala Lumpur.

Tune Hotels is a “low cost hotel”, brought to you by the man behind Air Asia, Tony Fernandes. Like a low cost airline, this hotel chain employ an a la Carte pricing method to your hotel bill. So you pay for your room, then choose any extra’s such as internet and air-conditioning (fan rooms come as standard).
Reducing their laundry bill is another way they are reducing costs, but I like how they remind you that it is the environmentally friendly thing to do.
I’ve been staying at a business class hotel in Yogyakarta as part of a job. I like Indonesian guesthouses but it has been good to have access to free wi-fi from my room.
If it's Wednesday it must be Yogyakarta
Most of the international hotel chains in Yogya are out near the airport, which is about 8km from the city. They have a shuttle bus that runs to the city centre, so I have to plan my days activities around the shuttle or get a taxi.
One thing about this hotel is that its a plane spotters dream. I can’t help but look at a plane landing everytime I hear one coming.
Room with an airport view
I have often found myself staying at a hotel with breakfast included, only to find that the breakfast doesn’t start until long after I have departed. Breakfast that is served at 7 or 8am is no good if you are getting the 6am train.
Breakfast Served From
I was happy to find that my hotel in Bandung have breakfast start at 5am.
