M Design Hotel @ Shamelin Perkasa opened its doors in 2015 as one of several properties operated under the M Design Hotel brand across Greater Kuala Lumpur, which also runs sister locations in Pandan Indah, Seri Kembangan, Bangi, Taman Pertama, and near KLIA Sepang. This particular branch sits in Taman Shamelin Perkasa, a residential pocket of Cheras on the eastern edge of Kuala Lumpur, and is registered on Traveloka as a 1-star budget property spread across 3 floors with 45 rooms in total. Because it opened relatively recently as a purpose-built budget hotel rather than a converted shophouse or older building, the layout and room fittings across the property are fairly consistent from floor to floor. Guests booking through Traveloka have left an average review score in the "Very Good" range across more than 160 reviews, with location and room comfort typically rated as the strongest points and meal options rated more modestly — a pattern consistent with a no-frills city hotel that leans on affordability and convenience rather than an in-house dining program.
The hotel's positioning is straightforward: it is built for travellers who want a clean, functional base in Cheras without paying for a full-service resort experience. Its small footprint (three floors, 45 rooms) also means the property has a more intimate, easier-to-navigate layout than the sprawling tower hotels found closer to the city centre.
M Design Hotel @ Shamelin Perkasa offers a small but clearly tiered lineup of room categories. Based on the property's own listing, the ladder runs from a compact entry-level room up to a larger family-oriented option, rather than a single generic "standard" room repeated at different price points.
The Single Standard is the entry point in the room ladder — a compact room designed for solo travellers or short overnight stays. As with the rest of the property, rooms typically include air conditioning and a private bathroom; see the listing for the exact per-room amenity list at the time of booking, since Traveloka's live room-level feed for this property does not break out bed configuration or precise square footage.
The Twin Deluxe steps up from the standard tier and is suited to two travellers who prefer separate beds — colleagues on a work trip or friends travelling together. It sits in the mid-tier of the hotel's four-category ladder, above the Single Standard.
The King Deluxe is the Deluxe-tier room aimed at couples, built around a larger bed configuration than the Twin Deluxe. Like the other Deluxe rooms, it forms part of the hotel's mid-to-upper tier rather than its entry-level offering.
The Family Deluxe sits at the top of the property's room ladder and is designed for small families or groups needing more sleeping capacity in one room. Traveloka's listing confirms the hotel offers family-configured rooms as part of its inventory, consistent with this being the largest category on-site. As with every room type here, guests should confirm exact bed setup and in-room inclusions on the live listing at the time of booking, since detailed per-room specs are not published in the structured data available for this property.
M Design Hotel @ Shamelin Perkasa keeps its facility list focused on the essentials rather than resort-style extras. Confirmed amenities include:
Because this is a compact, budget-tier property, it does not market spa facilities, a swimming pool, or a fitness centre — guests looking for those amenities should check the facility list on the live Traveloka page before booking, rather than assume they are included. Where a facility exists but no specific qualifier (such as "24-hour" or "free") is confirmed for it beyond WiFi and front desk service, this content intentionally avoids adding one.
The hotel is located at 91 & 93, Jalan 1/91, Taman Shamelin Perkasa, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, 56100 — a residential and light-commercial part of Cheras on the eastern side of the Klang Valley. According to the property's own site, the hotel sits about 5km from the Kuala Lumpur city centre, putting attractions like the Petronas Twin Towers and Bukit Bintang within reasonably easy reach by car or ride-hailing rather than on foot. For travellers flying in, the property's own listing notes the drive to KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) covers roughly 45km and takes about 50 minutes under normal traffic conditions, so it is worth budgeting extra time during peak hours. Cheras itself is well served by bus routes and nearby train/MRT connections into central KL, making the area workable for guests without a car who are comfortable combining public transport with short rides. If your trip involves connecting flights or you're comparing arrival options, it can help to check flight schedules into Kuala Lumpur on Traveloka before finalising your stay dates.
The hotel operates its own on-site restaurant, and breakfast is available to guests, based on the property's Traveloka listing. Specific outlet names and cuisine style are not published in the structured listing data, so guests wanting a detailed menu or opening hours should check directly with the property or the live booking page closer to their stay. Beyond the hotel itself, Cheras is a well-established residential and commercial area with a wide spread of casual eateries, food courts, and local restaurants within a short drive, giving guests plenty of options beyond the in-house restaurant. If you'd like to plan a day out beyond meals, it's worth browsing things to do around Kuala Lumpur on Traveloka to pair a Cheras stay with sightseeing closer to the city centre.
M Design Hotel @ Shamelin Perkasa suits travellers who want a straightforward, budget-friendly base in Cheras rather than a resort-style stay. Its compact size (three floors, 45 rooms) keeps things simple to navigate, its four-tier room ladder gives solo travellers, couples, and small families a room type that roughly matches their needs, and guest reviews on Traveloka consistently rate its location and room comfort well within the "Very Good" range. The combination of an on-site restaurant, 24-hour front desk, and parking covers the practical basics that most short-stay and business travellers look for. For travellers who want to compare this property against similar budget options nearby before committing, it's worth browsing other hotels in Kuala Lumpur on Traveloka side by side.
