TLDR : Answer Summary

When traveling to Kuala Lumpur for a non-B visa, you have several transportation options from the airport to the city, including taking the train, a bus, or a Grab taxi. It's advisable to avoid taxis due to high costs. Bus tickets can be purchased at the airport for approximately 10RM, providing a budget-friendly way to reach the city center in about 40 minutes. For accommodation, areas like Chinatown and Jalan Pudu offer some of the cheapest options. Additionally, you can use free city buses to reach the KLCC area to get to the embassy.

go to the trasportations floor and buy a bus ticket at the counter for abt 10RM, it takes abt 40min to get to the city centre. forget abt taxis too expensive! if you are on a budget check accommodations in china town or jalan pudu, they are the cheapest. Airport bus stops nearby. then to go to the embassy you can either take a grab or use a free city bus to KLCC area (some bus city line are free just check the route) and then take a grab from there 😉 good luck

for the accommodation the best and most expensives hotels are in KLCC area, where the petronas towers and all banks and business things are. so unless you won at lottery dont book there 😉 just check on agoda and you will find something that suits your needs in another area. i dont know the embassy area though. i used to stay in china town or jalan pudu cos cheap guesthouses (very simple fan room with bathroom around 30RM) and cheap food. bonus: airport bus stops there and you are near pasar seni bus station for free city bus. it s a bit a popular area amongs travellers and backpackers. To go out and have a walk you can go to bukit bintang area (all kind of restaurants, bars, shops, malls etc) there are some hotels there as well with prices in between.. according to what you need. Kuala lumpur is a nice city with nice people, many areas are walkable without problems amd security is good!
