- Kaab (10/5): Perfect staff and great location - Nice staff and clean place.
- QA qian Wong (5/5): - YES NO
- le (8/5): - The location is fantastic, there's a lot of attraction which only take you at best 10 mins to go around.
- Rafael (8/5): - La ubicación está en la zona más céntrica que es el china town tienes tanto comercio, y zona de comidas, no es ruidoso
- Narayanasamy (1/5): - Did not chak in. 😡
- tun (4/5): - So good So clear
- Elena (10/5): It was nice and we enjoyed the trip. - It was nice location and friendly staff. Rahena was friendly and most helping. The ventilation in the rooms without windows is a little harsh.
- Janice (10/5): - The staff and the fluffy towels. All good
- TheAlmightyWilkinson (10/5): -
- Mostafa (9/5): - Clean, Excellent location and very friendly staff.
The hotel is totally worth it for money. The beds are very comfortable, the room and hotel is quiet and clean. Location is in vibrant in heart of china town near to twins towers and famous KL landmarks. Thanks to Hotel receptionist Mr. Hassan, we were able to take check out fast and smooth. Really appreciate has assistance.
- rafael lima (1/5): - arrived around 6pm
the reception smells like a smoking room...
there was nobody there... called and waited for 30 minutes then i left
if the reception smells that bad i cant imagine how the room smell
- Robert (9/5): Great value in Chinatown. - Excellent central location in Chinatown, nice facilities, clean rooms. There are many other Swing & Pillows hostels, including one in Petaling Jaya which is easily confused with Petaling Street. In fact, the y call this one Swing & Pillows Chinatown for that reason. They need to change the name on Booking. The address is correct.
- Timiya (5/5): - Good location in the China Town, vers central.
Internet was working well. Dirty sheets.
Rats in the building, also could hear them above/behind the room walls
The shower water heater was very loud and noisy when taking a shower.
It felt like a rathole in the room - quite small, bad lightening and the dirty sheets we didn't see first because of fhe bad lightening...
It is not worth the price, for the same you can find more decent places around. .

- Janice (10/5): - Right in the middle of china town. Warm welcome 🙏 very helpful reception. The plug to the TV fizzled and blew when I turned it on.
- YAP (5/5): - No comment Receptionist tends not friendly, l met with one of the housekeeping staff, he is better than the reception counter
- 德顺 (5/5): -
- Elodie (7/5): Très bien si vous prévoyez des boules quies - Emplacement idéal avec un personnel accueillant et très sympathique !
Chambre propre même si la décoration est plutôt vieillotte L’insonorisation inexistante…
J’étais la première chambre collé à la réception, en plus d’entendre les chambres voisines j’entendais toutes les discussions de la réception

- alberto (8/5): stanza semplice ma con tutto quello che serve ottimo prezzo - Ottima posizione abbiamo visitato gran parte della città a piedi
Vicina alla stazione della metro e degli autobus
Disponibile in hotel distributore acqua fredda e calda e caffe solubile
- Arkadiusz (5/5): - Average hotel. The room was dark, small, rather dirty and I would not stay there again. The worst part of it was the soap which I would never use in my life. Rather disappointing. The strength of the stay was the reception personel.
- Martina (8/5): -
- Wen Jing (7/5): - 太潮湿了
- Andrei (8/5): -

- Franklin (2/5): Absolutely blessed that I was able to void my stay and go to another hotel, absolute trash - The bed was comfortable, the shower had good pressure, and the pillows were nice. That's literally it... Nothing else good about this hotel. My reservation was cancelled a few hours after checking-in, so they let me just leave for the price of deposit, 50 ringgit. That seemed fair. Absolutely filthy, there was a giant rat in the lobby running around trying to escape. Luckily I had a payment mishap, as they're cashless and I had a problem with my debit card, and I was able to leave. The instant you get inside the stairwell to go to the lobby, it's damp, moist, smelly air. Stale, and disgusting. All the staff and guests in the lobby were just pouring sweat, disgusting. The room itself had no privacy, you could hear everything in the room next door, you could hear the front desk guys, the room had NO amenities (no soap, no shampoo, only a towel), no water in the room, and the judging by the state of the lobby I didn't trust the glasses in the room nor the water machine. There seem to be brothels or some weird sketchy little doorways along the path leading to and from the hotel, and the pimps are very aggressive and dangerous. Highly recommend NOT staying here or in this area. Also, the whole market is sketchy smelly men trying to sell you knock-off items. STAY AWAY!! DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY!!! GO TO OYO 761 down the road instead, they're much cleaner, more professional, and much safer. The staff was so phony and two-faced at this hotel as well, talking badly about me in Urdu because they thought I can't understand (I look Korean) and I understood every dirty word they said. Avoid this hotel. AVOID!

- Lawrence (9/5): A reasonable budget hotel. - The location is in the center of Chinatown. There was no place to put clothes. We were living out of our suitcase
- Victor (10/5): - Localización muy buena, en pleno barrio chino y con mucha vida alrededor. También muy cerca de metro y monorail para moverse por la ciudad. Instalaciones muy correctas para el precio y personal muy amable. Al estar en plena calle principal, según la habitación puede escucharse ruido.
- Zhuldyzay (8/5): - Қызмет сапасы жақсы. Туристік нысандардың бірі- Чайнатаун базарының ішінде тұр. Оны арнайы іздеп бармайсың. Орталыққа және көрнекі орындарға жақын. Қасында Малайзиядағы ең биік ғимарат Мердеке-115 бар. Іздеп табу қиын болды. Базардың ішінде болғандықтан көлік кірмейді.
- Laia Viñas (8/5): - Localización
- Hussin (8/5): -
- Karin Persson (6/5): - Läget, mitt i smeten i chinatown. Väldigt lyhört från andras toaletter.
- Karunarathna (6/5): -
- Wong (9/5): A very good location if you intend to keep lodging expenses low while maximising your time at Kuala Lumpur’s best attrac - The location. The floor wasn’t very clean. And slippers were not provided.
- masae (7/5): もう泊まらないかな… - スタッフの理解も対応も早くて的確なので助かりました。色々なところにアクセスしやすく便利です。 防音という感覚がないのか?というくらい生活音が全て聞こえます。隣の部屋の人の用を足す音も聞こえますし、どこからか奇声も聞こえて、ちょっと怖かったですね。ゆかもベタベタしていました。あとは今、工事中なので、ホテルまでの入り口がわかりづらく、一言説明が欲しかったです。スタッフはよかったのに、他に悪い点が多くて残念です。
- Parthiven (1/5): - Hotel as usual was value for money The staff by the name taufik/tawhid was extremely rude. He was too bossy. Kept on making my temper go up by giving me a stare and also was making annoying faces and rude comments. Management should reprimand him as guests will not return
- Peter (7/5): -
- Vheeny Venzz (10/5): - Good service Good service
- Vinh (10/5): Excellent - The hotel was excellent value and is conveniently located in the heart of Chinatown. The room was very clean, tidy and quiet during my stay and staff were excellent. Be Aware there is a 50RM deposit for the room which is returned on checkout. I could not fault the stay. I would stay again. Nothing
- Tze Wei Edwin (10/5): Comfortable Stay - Check in staff from Bangladesh was very professional and efficient in his job. My 2nd time stays and will continue to choose this accommodation for my leisure. Maybe the entrance door which is a pain getting in but I know it's for security
- Osama Mohamed (9/5): Great stay - Its in chinatown , near in the MRT, near the malls, petronas tower and central market. The staff are helpful. Great value for the price we paid.
- amira (9/5): -
- Tamara (10/5): Casa china preciosa - La decoración, ubicación y precio
- gMg71 (6/5): -
- Parthiven (8/5): - Location and value for money The staff,Tauhid or Taylor was very rude and condescending. He actually frowning the whole time while I was checking in. I even asked if he was OK or did something happen. It's a very unprofessional attitude.
- Parthiven (8/5): - Tauhid wad well mannered and very helpful. Made my stay very comfortable
- Asan Golila (8/5): - Very clean,..
- Peter (10/5): -
- Edurne (6/5): -
- Manal (7/5): - It’s near everything: in the heart of petaling street ( chinatown), near bukit bintang, central market… The room is quite big and comfortable. The office forgot to notice our booking, which we already paid for, so when we came by they told us we have no room and we kept waiting there until the problem was solved. I hope it was a one time problem!
- Parthiven (8/5): - Friendly staff. Very accommodating. TV facility needs some improvement.
- Melanie (7/5): - Es ist direkt an der Petaling Strasse. Die Location finde ich dennoch top, denn hier in der Umgebung sind viele tolle Plätze zu besichtigen.
Das Personal ist super freundlich. Das Hotel war aufgrund der Baustelle nicht ganz so einfach zu finden.
Das Zimmer ohne Fenster hat mir persönlich jetzt nicht so gefallen. Die Wände sind sehr dünn, man hört andere Hotelgäste von nebenan oder auch vom Flur.
- Albert Morana (6/5): - La cama es comoda y tiene detalles como utensilios para prepararte un cafe y cepillo y pasta de dientes. Hay que dejar un dejar un deposito de 50RM. El personal, en una actitud poco profesional, nos pidió dejar una review antes de devolvernos el deposito. Es algo difícil de encontrar por la noche.
- Adriana (10/5): - La atención de los empleados El baño
- Sofía (6/5): El precio no se ajusta del todo a lo esperado - La ubicación, aunque es cierto que la calle estaba en obras y cuando cae el sol no se puede pasear por la zona, ya que solo están abiertos los soportales laterales que están llenos de indigentes durmiendo en la calle y da bastante respeto. La habitación deja mucho que desear, está muy lejos de cumplir las expectativas del anuncio, habitación pequeña, baño con ducha encima de la taza del water sin un buen sumidero, por lo que todo el tiempo estaba todo encharcado. Las habitaciones tienen paredes tan finas que se escuchan las conversaciones de los de al lado.

- FUXING (1/5): A terrible experience. - Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The online ratings felt unrealistic!
The entrance to the hotel was very difficult to find!
First of all, when checking in, I was told by the front desk that I couldn't pay in cash and only after negotiating later was I agreed to pay cash for check in.
Secondly, the water went out multiple times during the stay which was very bad. When I woke up on the first night, there was water all over the room and my shoes were even wet from the water that seeped out!
Third, the power went out midway through the second night of the stay.
Fourth, you don't need an alarm clock early in the morning, the sound of construction roaring outside the house will definitely wake you up.
Lastly, when checking out, the front desk asked me to scan the rating system for a rating, which seemed like a mandatory rating! I refused before I was given my deposit back and checked out!
Will never stay at this hotel again!
- Dominique (8/5): - Very clean, helpful staff, very central One of the rooms had no windows.
- Mark (8/5): Very good -
- Sebastian (7/5): Ok - Not applicable No lift for seniors
- Masud (10/5): Exceptional - Great Experience
- Nis (6/5): Ok for the price. - The staff were helpful and the location was great. The only entrance is via a large amount of steps there’s no lift available and as the property is inside the market taxi’s cannot come to the entrance of the property to drop guests off. Access is very difficult, best to avoid if you are elderly, have sore joints or are travelling with young children. The rooms and bathrooms could have been cleaner.
- Su (5/5): Passable - It is very affordable to stay .Room is clean. Especially,all the staffs are very friendly. It’s not completely soundproof .we can hear someone is walking by from in our room and someone snoring from outside.
- Tejerero (5/5): Passable - Very accessible place No soundproofing, can hear loud noise from the street even at 3am
- Nor (9/5): Superb -
- Cheok (8/5): Very good -
- Tejerero (5/5): Passable -
- Martina (8/5): Very good - Clean room, floor. Nice staff. I expected better quality based on the pictures. It is in the neighbourhood Chinatown which is very dirty. It is located right in the middle of the market which I didnt realize before. I found a cockroach in the elevator and a couple of rats close to the market in the evening. I would not look for accomodation in the area again.
- Mirko (3/5): Poor - The location is good, central and with lots of shops and things going on around it. On our arrival at 3am we were told that the room was charged via Booking. However, at 8am we were sharply woken up by a very insisting knocking on the room door requesting to pay.
I don't understand why if the room wasn't paid for, why they couldn't just wait to tell us so, especially taking into consideration that we had left a 50 RM deposit that we would have to claim back at check out.
Not to mention that after waking us up, we were asked to change rooms without any further explanation, which we declined.
Also, at night it was very loud. Lots of noise coming from the hallway and people speaking out loud.
The room was cheap and central, but still, wouldn't recommend it.
- Naiema (8/5): Very good - Smart tv Payment difficulty
- Zain (7/5): Good -
- Karpatizotya (10/5): Perfect location,perfect stuff,clean quiet room. - Everything was perfect,the room,the cleaning,the aircon,the stuff.We go again. There was nothing.
- Nour (10/5): Exceptional - Nice hotel.in the heart of Chinatown, for a very decent price.
- Maliha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fiorella (8/5): Very good - The reception was very helpfull. The room very silent and good facilities. Very well placed near to metro and in the center of chinatown May be the shops all around can be noisy during the day.
