Salam all.
We have changed our name. We are no longer known as Jalan Orkid Homestay but instead we are now called Jalan Orkid
Guest Room.. because that is the service that we offer; a room in our house for you to occupy for short stays while you are visiting Manchester and northwest England.
Please read our rates/t&c page for more information.
Thank you.
Kami telah berktukar nama. Kami tidak lagi dikenali sebagai Jalan Orkid Homestay tetapi kini dipanggil Jalan Orkid Guest Room.. kerana itu perkhidmatan yg kami tawarkan; sebuah bilik penginapan di dalam rumah kami untuk didiami untuk penginapan jangka pendek sementara kamu melawat Manchester dan timur barat England.
Sila layari laman rates/t&c untuk maklumat lanjut.

Manchester and Football!
Yes yes.. I know London is the 'It' city.. it will always be the 'It' city for a long time coming..
but... Manchester is cool too!
Especially for EPL fans in Malaysia, Manchester is well-known to be home to 2 world famous football clubs..Manchester United and Manchester City.. but what's probably not too well known is that Bolton and Wigan football clubs are located close by too.. both towns are situated to the northeast of the city centre..if you are big fans of the Bolton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic, there are direct buses that will take you to those towns so you can be as close to your favourite team as possible :)
Hang on, it doesn't just end there! Outside of the Greater Manchester county, there are many other well-known footballing cities/towns.. If Manchester United/City is not your cuppa tea, then Liverpool and/or Everton FC will probably do the trick. Liverpool is only 35 miles to the west of Manchester.. that's about a 40 mins car or train ride to reach MU's biggest rival club. Also 35 miles but to the north of Manchester, you will find Blackburn and Burnley..less popular clubs but still not without its own share of fans..
I'm just scratching the surface really.. I've only just pointed out the clubs that are in EPL.. there are many other smaller clubs in League One and Two that are located in and around Manchester..Manchester is a breeding ground for football clubs!
Come stay at our homestay, while you tour Manchester and experience the many football clubs that this city has to offer!
