I chose this hotel based on reviews from this site. It did not disappoint. I stayed in Kuala Lumpur Jan 2013 for four days, and this hotel was perfect. Room was very clean and modern, and the staff was great. I will definitely stay here again.

Friendly staff, nice historical context, close to nice amenities, fun in Chinatown. Quick taxi ride to clubs and sights of KL.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great location right on Petaling Street in Chinatown - literally walk out the door and you're in the market. The room was clean and comfortable and we weren't charged extra for wifi or breakfast. The breakfast buffet was nice - lots of options, but all the food seemed a little bland. Two downsides: our room was very small - bed, bathroom, closet, and […] barely any space beside that. Also, there was a lot of noise in the hotel at night. Not sure what was going on, but doors were slamming and people were talking loudly at 2 and 3 am. Read more

Not so bad

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice, clean, friendly staff, convenient location, OK breakfast with many choices but not to the western taste. The advantage of getting a standard room without window was that it's quiet BUT the room is so small that we could hardly move around, there's no closet or any place that we could hang our clothes up or unpack our suitcase. Super clean bathroom […] with shower. If you just need a place to come back to sleep, this is a good value. Read more

When I booked "Swiss Inn" I mistook it for another hotel in which I had stayed. However, I was not disappointed. The hotel was clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful. One drawback, was the noise transfer from the corridor and the other rooms, TV, shoes on floor etc. This wasn't unbearable and one got used to it. Perhaps if I had a higher quality […] room on on of the upper floors I would have been delighted, I was on the 2nd floor. The food was good and plentiful, fresh fruit at every breakfast! I have stayed in KL a number of times in the past and would recommend "Swiss Inn" over some of the others. The Petaling Markets are close-by if you want to indulge yourself in "bargain hunting" There are many restaurants and "street eating stalls" in the immediate area so eating out is no great burden.

Good lacation - 5 min walk to Pasar Seni stasion. From there you can reach by a bus sunway lagoon (2 rm) Subang airport (2 rm). China town is not like in Singapore, much smoler but still a china town.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotek is in a great location if you want an easy ride to the city, The staff are very friendly but the room needs a little retouch to make it more comfortable especially the bathroom. Food is good but not very safe since it has two entrances.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

room stinks of cigarettes and toilet doesn't flush... their solution is to make me wait a long time for maintenance and use an ionizer. room is also very, very small. breakfast was good though... just about the only thing saving this place.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice hotel right in China Town, so it is very close to many shops and some of the train stations are just at a walking distance. Room was comfortable and very quite. Only thing I did not like was we had to take two elevators to get to the Lobby. Besides that, good hotel for the price.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Loved this hotel! Such a great value. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The location is a very short tuktuk ride from the Old Market, Pub Street and the Night Market. We didn't do much walking around the immediate area because tuktuks were so convenient. No elevators but the staff carried […] up all our luggage and brought it back down when we left. Also got my laundry done there (paid by item) and it was returned the very next day nicely folded and clean - total cost wasn't that much. HIGHLY recommend for your visit to Siem Reap! Read more

It's hard to love a hotel room that doesn't even have a window, no matter how cheap and comfortable it is. The service was also quite indifferent - it took me three requests to get the staff to provide me with an iron for my clothes. Setting these points aside, this is a reasonable little place to stay; nothing fancy, just basic facilities, but new, […] clean and peaceful. It's in a lively location, right in the heart of Chinatown, and not too far (5-10 minutes walk) from Pasar Seni railway station, so getting about is not difficult. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

With its cafe entrance spilling directly into KL's Chinatown night market and its front entrance surrounded by dozens of excellent food vendors -- clay pot, steamboat, satay, durian, whatever -- this hotel is ideally nestled into one of KL's most vibrant and interesting neighborhoods. It has a slight ramshackle feel, initially (its front and rear halves […] are awkwardly connected), but it's clean and -- especially given its location -- quiet and comfortable. The staff here has been very accommodating and professional. There are much swankier hotels in KL, of course, but at nothing like this price or location. If you're OK with an oddly short shower curtain or a less-than-perfect carpet outside your room, give this one a shot. Read more

Hotel very well located for cheap tourist shoppping in the middle of Chinatown. Railway station is close (about 300m away) and monorail about 500m away. Rooms small but very nice, modern, and clean. Rooms renovated reasonably recently. Bathroom (and shower) excellent. Buffet breakfast included in price. This was a wonderful full cooked breakfast. […] On our last morning we left early and they gave us a packed breakfast of sandwiches. They were unwrapped, dried out and terrible but a minor issue. Good value and good location Read more

This is the cheapest hotel in town, and as you would expect, it is one of the worst. There is a bed and a tv with a handful of channels. WIFI was down about 90% of the time. Didn't even try the shower. Breakfast is mediocre. Probably the worst thing about the hotel is the Chinatown location. There are about 2000 stalls that all sell the same crappy […] $1 t-shirts and dvd rips. After about 5 minutes I was sick of the place and actually didn't buy a single thing, despite the "bargains". Every one of the 2000 vendors will yell at you to buy their garbage and charge about 10X more than its worth. In general Kuala Lumpur is a filthy ugly city where everyone you meet is trying to gauge you out of your money. I recommend skipping the city and its crooked taxis altogether. Read more

Room was clean & modern. Only complaints are that there is no place to put anything (no drawers, 3 hangers under a little shelf) but not a big deal if only there for a night or two; and there is no window so when you get up, you have no idea if it's sunny or raining. Location is in the heart of Chinatown. Breakfast was great, plenty to eat. Staff very […] friendly & helpful though not always accurate with info./directions. Would definitely stay here again Read more

small rooms close to chinatown with good service

Genuine Expedia guest review

Not handicap friendly. It does not have an elevator that goes straight from the lobby to the higher floors. First, you have to go to the 2nd floor then go through a series of mini stairs/steep ramps to reach the elevators that will get you to your room. If you have some luggages, it could be tricky. Definitely NOT HANDICAP FRIENDLY. Located in the heart […] of Chinatown, it's an excellent location for shoppers as you can start haggling as soon as you step off the back of the hotel. Read more

I got a room in the new wing, so I can't speak for the old wing, but this room was great. I had to finagle with the a/c unit to get that just right -- it had been blowing right onto the bed, and it took me a few minutes to figure out how to adjust the louver with the a/c remote. The room was clean, fresh, new, the location is terrific, right there […] in the heart of Chinatown. It was a bit loud on Friday night when the drummers were outside banging away, but that was over by 9:30. The staff was very helpful, answering my questions, the breakfast buffet was great.

This hotel is situated in very convenient location. We took a ride of LRT just a few minutes walk. For taxi, we walked out to the main street because the street in front of the hotel was one way and so jammed at noon. In front of the hotel, there is a terminal for Taman Negra packages. You can begin to enjoy your travel from this hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

For the price we were expecting the hotel to be a bit dodgy but, it was great. The room was excellent, just as good as a more expensive hotel. It was extremely convenient in location, great spot if your going for the market shopping. Would definitely stay there again. The continental breakfast was a bit hit & miss but, overall it was a great experience […] and would definitely recommend it. Read more

This is a good hotel for the price we paid. Small, but modern rooms, flat screen tv, clean and nice bathroom. Good showers. I liked the breakfast.

Upon i arrive check in hotel reception, they do not served the guest immediate, i have to wait for at least ten minutes computer checking and arguing MYR 100 deposit before getting to my room. The food was excellent but when come to charging my biils was two different date dine with same menu and charge in different prices although they have the menu […] over there. It made me confuse. During my stay, hotel room aircon was too cold facing dircetly my bed, i couldn't get a comfortable stay, toilet manole got water dripping sound at night. Worst nightmare, i was sleping soundly through middle of the night can hear someone shouting, yelling, screaming at the lobby although my room was far away. Some of their tv channel not working well, especially volume control was not constant. During my check out hotel on 6/9/2010, frone staff at reception was poor service taking thier own sweet time do transaction and no receipt or any printed check out document shows that my stay from 01/09/2010 - 06/09/2010. Feedback also highlighted address to Singapore 'Malaysia High Commission'. Read more

The rooms were small, but very clean and modern. If your looking for a step up from a Hostel this is the place. Good location in China Town, near all the sights and central market. Its a $2 taxi ride to the golden triangle area. And there is a Starbucks about 200m away, for your morning caffeine fix. The free morning breakfast buffet wasn't that good, […] but then again this isn't a 5 star hotel, so what do expect. Read more

We booked rather late and the only accommodation left was a room which had no windows and was very small. apart from that it was clean and everything worked. For our 3 nights and 2 days the room was not made up or cleaned. The hotel was right in the middle of China Town and we had a marvellous time.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Swiss Inn's floor plan is a bit disjoint, but was never really a bother. It seems to be a conglomeration of multiple hotels joined together by the Swiss group. Done well enough. The place is nestled in China town. The lobby side is on Petaling and fairly open. The cafe side is deep in the hawkers side of the place. With all the activity on the […] street, we never had any problem with noise in the room. The room was large enough to relax in, but not so large that you wanted to waste your days there. Bed was comfortable and shower was a blessing after the sweltering days on the streets. The breakfast we had with the room was good. You have a choice of bangers and beans or a local dish like fried Mee or Nasi Lemak. Fresh fruit, toast, cofee, and more round out the menu. Access to the RT or train is only a 10-15 minute walk. If the hustle and bustle of China town isn't your style for shopping, head west to Central Market, where you can shop a wide variety of merchants in AC. Cabs and buses are never far away and the locals will offer help when you look bewildered. So,... the Swiss Inn is a great price for what you get and has a really good location. Read more

This is the second time I booked the hotel. When I booked first time, I was given a room in the new block which was good and clean. I was assuming all rooms would be in this state. But when I booked the second time I was allotted a room in the old block which was a nightmare to arrive the room. The corridor was filled with cigarette smoking and when […] I opened the room again it was cigarette smell and too noisy. Literally you can hear word by word conversation from the next room. So I requested for a change of room and the receptionist gave me another room in the new block. Again it was quiet clean but cigarette smell. For bachelor's or for smokers it should be ok but for a family with kids I would insist not to take rooms in the old block. Read more

It was good overall, as this is my 2nd stay at this hotel in less than a year. I preferred to stay the second time, given of the location and accessability specially to China Town. ..and nearby vicinities which has a lot to see and say. The only drawback is having one person @ the reception during evening time. I had to wait for atleast 20 mins or so […] before my turn came in for check-in...around 9.30 p.m. Read more

The Swiss Inn is in a great location if you are into markets. The trek to the rooms from the lobby was confusing and inconvenient until you got the hang of it. Room was clean and adequate. Reception staff were competent, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.

This budget hotel is worth the money as it is conveniently located along Petailing Street (Chinatown). Hotel room include Hair Dryer, Shampoo and Shower Gel, free 2 bottles of mineral water, coffee, tea and Wifi. Cleanliness of hotel and room is considered good. Highly recommended as budget hotel.

We enjoyed a 4-day stay in KL at the Swiss Inn. The location was GREAT to easily explore the local sites by foot and/or Hop-on Bus. The included breakfast was a delightful surprise, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was rather small, but clean and adequate.
