City Inn Hotel - Kuala Lumpur

City Inn Kuala Lumpur: value lodging in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown

Location & Transport

City Inn Hotel Kuala Lumpur sits on the edge of Chinatown, a 16-minute walk from the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia and 1.8 km from Berjaya Times Square. The property is within walking distance of a public transport hub, allowing guests to connect to other parts of the city. Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport is 22 km from the hotel.

Rooms

City Inn offers family rooms and budget double rooms, each equipped with air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a TV. Each room has a work desk, a shower, and tiled floors. Guests booking a Budget Double Room should note that the room is small; one solo traveler described the toilet as 'very small and crammy.'

The hotel has a 24-hour front desk and offers luggage storage and laundry services. Safety is addressed with CCTV in common areas. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Guest Feedback

One solo traveler rated the hotel 10/10, calling City Inn Kuala Lumpur 'a great low cost hotel right in the centre of China Town' and praising the helpfulness of the staff member Lucas. Another guest gave a rating of 3.0, noting the location was 'fantastic' but that 'the pillows and mattress were very smelly.' A separate 10/10 review described the environment as 'like Kowloon Walled City' and recommended the hotel for guests seeking an 'ethnography of Kuala Lumpur' rather than a clean sleep.

Dining & Surrounding Area

City Inn Hotel does not have an on-site restaurant, but the surrounding Chinatown area is filled with shops and restaurants that suit all budgets. The hotel's central location puts guests within easy reach of many local food stalls and eateries. Guests can find a restaurant in the surrounding area without difficulty.
