“I'd say this Kuala Lumpur stay is defined by its prime location-right by a bustling street, surrounded by food and transport options, and within walking distance of key tourist sites. Light sleepers should take note: a nearby bar's music might travel, though staff seem ready to assist. Overall, clean rooms and a water dispenser, plus an attentive receptionist, round out the practical advantages here.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Rain Forest Hotel is often praised for its prime location in the heart of Chinatown, right next to Petaling Street, making it easy to explore the area.

fantastic stay!

helpful staffgreat locationclean showerssimple breakfast

I enjoyed the friendly staff. They were SO helpful. The location is great for accessing sites and tours. i found the toilets and showers were kept very clean. A simple complimentary breakfast gives a good start to the day.

The pillows were not very comfortable. I woke up with a slight neck ache. i also noticed some minor wear and tear on the bathroom door. These were slight issues. i wouldn't expect a top experience.
