Kuala Lumpur's budget accommodation can be found everywhere where a dormitory bed for the night can be as little as RM20 (USD7). Increasingly, newer & better ones are opening in the Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman / Chow Kit and Jalan Ipoh areas, the so-called growth areas in the city centre. An example is the Tune Hotel on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (Chow Kit area).
If you are arriving on the overnight buses (arriving at 4:00 a.m.) from the east coast islands, buses will stop at Hentian Putra in the Chow Kit area.
Mid-range hotels are comparatively poor value in Kuala Lumpur, and it is worth it to spend a little extra (or look a little harder) for a true luxury hotel on the cheap. Kuala Lumpur is one of the world's cheapest places to experience 5 star luxury, with rooms available for as little as RM400 (US$130) or even less (internet rate for single occupancy in the luxury 5 star "Traders Hotel" is around $100 as of August 2011). Other luxury hotels include The Hilton, Le Meridien, Shangrila and JW Marriot.
Please see the individual Kuala Lumpur district pages of a list of places to stay.
