Staying at this hotel was a unique experience due to the rooms' unconventional layout - some without windows, which surprisingly proved advantageous to reduce street noise in bustling Chinatown. The absence of a window view was compensated by overlooking the rooftop of the vibrant market. While a luggage table would be a welcome addition, the rooms' compact design lacked space for medium-sized bags near the wall safe.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nice, clean, and comfy, but the lack of soundproofing between rooms was a downside. The service was not very friendly, with issues regarding trust and payment requests. However, the location was excellent, perfect for exploring the metropolis and enjoying the street food and shopping in China Town. The dining options were average, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is located right in the busy Petaling Street, in the hub of Petaling Street with the street market and all the local restaurants, making it a convenient spot to explore the vibrant surroundings. The rooms are generally clean but could use better ventilation as they tend to be humid and smell somewhat musty. While the service could be more transparent about hotel policies, the staff is helpful with luggage. The dining experience offers good options with a variety of fruits, but some may find it repetitive. The facilities are decent but could use some improvements to enhance the overall stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms, though clean, were very basic and lacked windows, making it challenging to know the time of day. However, the location in the heart of Chinatown was excellent for exploring local Chinese cuisine and shopping. The service, while rude and nosy at times, had a strategic yet unusual setup. The dining experience offered good options but was not exceptional.

The hotel at Kam Leng is a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, while not justifying the early check-in price, are clean and comfortable. The staff inserts credit card data into the system without permission, which raises concerns. The location is excellent in Chinatown, but can be sketchy with homeless people around. The dining experience can get hectic, especially with tour groups joining your table. Overall, in terms of price, location, and safety, Swiss Inn is worth considering.

The hotel is strategically located in the heart of Chinatown, offering the opportunity to explore the vibrant surroundings easily. The service was lacking in attention to specific requests, while the dining experience was average with buffet-style options. The rooms were cleaned daily and provided with new towels and water, but had a lingering smoke smell. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's location near transportation hubs and evening markets adds to its value for money.

The hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of Chinatown, offering a culinary heaven and easy access to food places. The rooms, albeit requiring a bit of navigation due to the layout, are well-serviced, cleaned daily, and provide a pleasant view of Jalan Sultan. The service, although somewhat insistent on phone restarts, is genuinely helpful and friendly, going the extra mile in assisting with luggage. The dining experience, while including European food and fruits, has shown a slight decline recently. The location's vibrant atmosphere and proximity to various attractions make it a prime choice for exploring Chinatown.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city center, making it easy to explore Kuala Lumpur on foot or by public transport.

The hotel really disappointed me on various levels. The rooms were small and not clean, with a huge smoking smell and unfortunately had bedbugs that we noticed only on the second night. On the upside, the location was well maintained and perfect for a few nights in KL, especially for shopping and eating, although cleanliness was not perfect. The service, despite being very nice and helpful, left a lot to be desired, as they asked for a massive deposit upon check-in and were pushy about immediate payments. The dining experience was subpar with warm and often cold food, and considering there was no breakfast included, it was definitely not a culinary delight.
