The hotel is right on Petaling street, which is the main market street for Chinatown. This can get hectic at times, but you are right in the middle of everything, and you can’t hear any street noise from your room.

They offer good discounts on weekdays.

The building was very secure with 24 hour reception and hi-tech safes for your valuables, but may not be always available as they are often taken up.

Rainforest Bed & Breakfast, KL

pktan — Sun, 06 May 2007 14:06:46 +0000

Rainforest Bed & Breakfast is a hotel, hostel with home-stay concept incorporated with others service facilities such as travel office, restaurant, bar, mini market etc. in a 6 storey building in the heart of Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle. Much effort has been invested in the open-plan Malay design (plus welcoming greenery outside).

New management has breathed fresh life into what was already a popular, quiet and verdant oasis in KL’s shopping precinct. Lustrous wood panelling, textured white paint and an eclectic smattering of crafts (everything from petite Chinese maiden statues to oversized cuckoo clocks) give the Rainforest Bed & Breakfast its appeal. The dark wood of the rooms is both classy and cooling (helped by air-con), and even the two windowless rooms feel deceptively spacious thanks to wall-to-ceiling wardrobe mirrors.

The communal bathroom in Rainforest Bed & Breakfast is like a portal to a five-star ensuite (all marble and muted lighting). The streetside communal area is set back into the shady greenery, and it’s where you’ll find the Internet access. The third-level seating area has wide-open, greenery-fringed windows to let any breeze though; the perfect place to enjoy the complementary breakfast.

Tip: : Rainforest Bed & Breakfast did not seem to be well known by taxi drivers. Ask the driver to drop you off at the Istana Hotel and then walk a few blocks from there.

Number Eight Hotel, KL

pktan — Sun, 06 May 2007 13:30:14 +0000

Number Eight Hotel, a Kuala Lumpur mid-range / budget hotel, embodies the rarest of combinations: a guest house with the aesthetic of a trendy boutique. Located in KL Golden Triangle, Number Eight Hotel is a converted shophouse that provides inexpensive, stylishly-appointed rooms. This new place stands out in so many ways. Two colonial shop houses have been completely renovated to create an environment of casual chic. Past the front courtyard, guests enter a wide, cool room with angular couches, soft red and grey tones, and a massive relief map of Southeast Asia. There’s air-con as well as ceiling fans, and the blissful feel of the original parquetry underfoot.

The service is impeccable for a mid-range / budget hotel, every guest will naturally feel like part of an extended family the staffs, and never once, is your privacy, or comfortability compromised.

However light sleepers beware, there have been several complains of loud noise across the street.

Case 1: You can hear every footstep, people talking and doors slamming. However worse still it also happens to be right on a busy one way system and opposite a 24/7 eatery which also shows premier football matches on a wide screen tv from most European Countries – think of the time difference!! This really is not good if you have a room at the front which we did and resulted in us getting no sleep at all!

Case 2: But the noise at night from the street and an outdoor chinese cinema across the street made my stay here a bit of a nightmare. No sleep.

Ask for a room at the back away from the front street noise, or get your ear plugs prepared just in case.
