You might not even leave the property at all, with its state-of-the-art Razer gaming equipment, city views, and entertainment options that’ll keep your group busy for hours.
The current exchange rate is RM1 = ~S$0.31 as of 18th November 2025.
FDK Gaming Homestay is an apartment-style hotel in JB fitted with full-blown gaming setups, themed rooms, and other amenities like a gym, an infinity pool, and even a mahjong table. Each room has sleek bunk beds for 6 and costs RM399/night (~S$125.27), so come with friends and you’ll only have to pay about RM66.50/pax (~S$20.88).
With the best of a cyber cafe and a hotel, the rooms at FDK Gaming Homestay ensure that you won’t have to stop gaming – because there are no closing hours involved. Each themed room comes with 5 Razer gaming PCs along with the full set of peripherals – headphones, mouse, and keyboard.

Of course, games are included in the package, so you can play either rank or casual on Valorant, DOTA, League of Legends, and other titles. And if you’re travelling with younger family members, the PCs even come loaded with kid-friendly games.

Each room is spacious at 673sqf, and well-furnished so that you can cosy up in one of the sleek bunks after a gaming sesh. You won’t feel too shut in either, as the rooms are on the 17th floor, with windows that provide excellent views of the city.

The rooms come in 2 styles – one with a modern open-plan layout, and the other with 2 bedrooms and colour-changing lights. Complete your stay by bringing in snacks and drinks from the supermarkets and restaurants a stone’s throw away.

There’s more to this hotel besides games in your room. Take a breather and go down to Level 7, where you can indulge in wellness activities like floating in the infinity pool and admiring the city views.
Just remember to bring your access card so that you can tap in to the pool deck.
