Swiss-Inn

Frommer's Review

This mini-size hotel is one of KL's most popular budget places. Tucked away in the heart of Chinatown, Swiss-Inn's best asset is its location, amid the jumble of vibrant nightmarket hawkers. The place is small and offers almost no facilities. Higher-priced rooms have a small window, a bit more space (but are still compact) and are somewhat better maintained. Budget rooms, on lower floors, are very small, the cheapest having no windows at all. The beige carpeting can use a deep cleaning, the walls can use a fresh coat of paint, and the bathrooms some new grout work. On my last visit, housekeeping wasn't up to snuff, which added to the problem. Still, they often have good promotional rates. Make sure you reserve your room early because this place runs at high occupancy year-round. The cafe, hidden behind market stalls, is an interesting place to have a beer and people-watch.
